Football Department Review

[jeza]

I expect very few to agree with my post. I didn't post it to be popular, it's simply an honest opinion.

If the spreadsheets aren't good, you may not have a foyer to walk into, or cabinets to house cups or walls to hang photos of our greats or a ground to call 'home', but I get your point. The first responsibility of any Board is to ensure viability and fiscal responsibility. They've achieved that, very, very well. From there, however...

If the independent review was held at season's end it would very likely have come to the same conclusions... and then we'd have had only a few weeks before season 2022's commencement, at best, to institute the recommended changes - terrible governance and a wonderful invitation to a giant 8 ball for us to fall in behind.

As I mentioned before, it is apparent to me that the timing of this review sought to address immediate troubles and to take the long view. And to suggest Sayers is guilty of some clandestine sabotage is *****, he would not be where he is today with such a scurrilous attitude or strategy. Quite the contrary.

I don't think there was clandestine sabotage. I agree that is some dumb 5hit.

I just think you have overlooked the board and president are directly responsible for running a football club - not a business. Generating profit is only relevant if you can demonstrate you know how to take those resources and translate it into on-field success. Without that it means nothing.

The pass mark for running a football club can't be $ in isolation.
