Ameet Bains ... Hawks circling

Post: # 1657863Post supersaints »

Ameet Bains Has apparently been approached to take on CEO role at Hawthorn.

Apparently the Hawks think they need a new CEO to stop their slide and handle Clarkson
I'm sure the Saints won't stand in his way however it would be be a bad loss for us ...he has been a standout at the Saints


And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf" 

Go Sainters !!!!!

From where?

If so will probably go

Those pricks have been dancing on our grave for years-

Frankston Zone
Tasmania
1971 GF
Dingley coming

Now Ameet Bains- will be a disaster if we lose him.

One can only hope he stays. He's been our best recruit since Roo.

Alert didn't even support StK

CEO is a promotion and perhaps 100k or more increase

He is a football professional admin person.

If he is offered a better position and with significantly better pay he would most likely take it in a heart beat. Why would he not?

Pies made a big play for him 12 months or so ago.

Hence the promotion to COO.

Being groomed to take over from Finnis.

Very highly regarded within the industry. Would be a huge loss.

Ah, ok. I had him pegged as a heart and soul type. Of course I don't know him personally.

Finnish has been great for us but is an AFL puppet so I'd prefer he's moved on if and
Ameet becomes CEO rather than losing Ameet

You have to kidding on Finnis.

We finally get a good, and probably very good, CEO and you want to move him on... :shock:

I know someone who used to work with him. He was always a Carlton fan and used to hate us and bag us out. I wouldn't expect him to stick around if a much better offer arrived, even if he obviously wouldn't hate the club now.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/ ... o-st-kilda

Bendigo was then part of Carlton’s recruiting zone and Ameet become a zealous Blues fan. He would also become an exemplar of Carlton’s famous Latin masthead ‘mens sana in corpore sano’ – a healthy mind in a healthy body; throwing his energies into sport and study alike.

...

In 2008 Bains joined Carlton as a volunteer welfare officer under Rod Ashman but his football coup arrived when he joined St Kilda in January 2011 as the General Manager Player List and Legal Affairs.

If they offer he will be gone. Just like Bevo who was a new signed and sealed Sainta, with a history at our club, but as soon as the Dogs offered head coaching job he was often without even starting with us.

Caro:

"The club lost its chance to win back its preferred choice because the then AFL football operations boss could not submit himself to a process that threatened to last three months. Not while he was overseeing the on-field game at head office.

Now the club risks losing another preferred candidate in St Kilda's second-in-command Ameet Bains for a similar reason. Bains, viewed as a rising star in AFL circles, has reportedly told the Saints he is out of the Hawthorn process as he cannot rightly preach loyalty and commitment to players and staff at his own club while putting himself through the laborious campaign the Hawks have instituted.

That can change should Hawthorn president Richard Garvey and his board go direct to Bains as the Gold Coast's Tony Cochrane did – with strong support from the AFL – with Evans. Otherwise Bains will stick with the Saints as they move home to Moorabbin."

A principled man, obviously. Let's hope he does stay. You can't really stand in their way if they get a better offer and want to go.
