The board make up has a few issues. My first impression is that while many of them have success in business, it is typically from a family business or privately owned perspective. This could lend itself to a less accountable style, compared to the director of a public company where the degree of accountability is greater. Compromise and negotiation may be a less significant skill, as well as the ability to provide broad direction and follow a plan.
Another issue is that as this forum can show sometimes ( ;D) we can very passionate and fly off the handle about footy. Business success does not easily translate into footy success, both requiring a fair degree of detachment. Being on a footy club board is cherished in Melbourne, so could be a bit of an indulgence too.
Its important to remeber that they are all volunteers too, and are probably pretty unhappy about things as we are all here. I dont know any of them either, so it is very difficult to point to particular issues.
