Football Department Review

[Lods]

Couple of things:
Pauly - In my view, the factions and influences from the Pratts and Mathiesons are gone because none of their tentacles are on our board. That was the point of the hypothetical of placing us (new, non influenced members) onto the board.

They will make you an offer you can't refuse. ;D  ;D

[PaulP]

Hypothetical or not, it is an ongoing issue that many decisions are heavily influenced by the power brokers.

Why would MM be trying to call Mathieson?
Probably because he thought he might be able to overturn some board decision that Mick didn't agree with.

Yes, no doubt. I'm sure he was trying to call him because he knows exactly who holds the power, and was looking for an explanation or a stay of execution.

I'm of Italian heritage, they'll lose that battle should they wish to go down that track

Assuming a review of the footy dept hadn't been done and given the finances are in check, wouldn't the first thing we would do do is either start or commission a review of the footy dept?

Mandate the return of Carlton arrogance!

)  )  ) EB1 for President!! A man of vision and a laser-like appreciation of priorities.

Then I'd propose to my learned colleagues that we get the absolute best footy person we could find, who satisfied all our identified criteria, and appoint them to the Board.

Then I'd propose to my learned colleagues an external independent review of the CEO and his performance across the spectrum of his clearly identified responsibilities.

I stuffed the hypothetical in that I was supposed to say "assume no footy dept review had been done".

....

Couple of things:
Krudd - Task 1 for you is to give Teague what he wants/needs and assume he is the right man for the job. You've come in cold and you're not even going to ask questions of our footy dept?

...

Assuming a review of the footy dept hadn't been done and given the finances are in check, wouldn't the first thing we would do do is either start or commission a review of the footy dept? The dysfunctional board is gone, that only leaves looking into what the real purpose of the club is, playing games of football.

See, i was assuming the review had been done.

In any event, i don't assume he is the right man for the job. However, he is the man currently in the job and deserves a red hot crack and proving it. If he was to get sacked, he'd have to be paid out. So we'd be going backward before we even started.
Thats why i'd ask him what he needs. If he gets everything he needs and STILL can't deliver, then its an easy decision that he and everyone else will understand and accept and we move forward unified.

So yes, i'll stand by my comments. Give full support to the coach.

Incidentally, after i said thought i remembered what Pratt said and did when he came in and it was very similar. Tell me what you need and i'll get it for you. There's hope i can become a billionaire yet....

Thats part  of Capcoms charter, however if you believe the rumours of how our mobs players are perceived by those outside the organisation, its their in some ways already, just got to back it up with wins.

If I walk into an organisation with the charter to make better, I don't assume anything, I review what's there and determine its status. Whatever I review falls into 3 categories.
1. Green Light - do nothing and proceed.
2. Yellow Light - Satisfactory, continue but needs improvement.
3. Red Light - Unsatisfactory, do no proceed needs replacing.

The Carlton Arrogance I talk of brushes opponents aside, it's never about letting them in or leaving the door ajar!
