SOS might turn out to be god's gift to list managing but the point is the appointment is perceived as yet another powerbroker giving a former club champion mate a key role with no apparent robust selection process.
Club keeps leaving itself wide open to ridicule and we're easy pickings for these types of articles. Slobbo and his Turd worshipping sidekicks and people like Caro are having a field day. They are loving taking the piss.
Slobbo has died and gone to heaven. Scum seemingly in the clear, he can lick Turd's balls again without looking over his shoulder, Carlton is an awful mess and he can gleefully help turn up the heat on his old mate MM.
It's enough to make you puke.
Here's the thing KH: MLG became president in June 2014, vice president in October 2013, joined the board in February 2010.
His first act as president was (legally and legitimately, if discretely) tapping up Graham Wright. The presidential handover was months in the making. He then reached out properly to SOS in September 2014 by most accounts.
I don't understand how his plan is necessarily half-cocked given he has been engaged in club operations for years. It would appear he had a fairly calculated plan and he is leveraging every resource at his disposal to accomplish it. Lo and behold he is pissing people off in the process, people who have sat there fat, dumb and happy for sometime. He's also not doing it the way some factions want, pissing more people off.
This is a long-standing culture of finger-pointing and ham-fisted attempts to use old business values to shake loose some opportunities with very little consideration for the football side of things beyond utterances like 'Sign some good players, you nuffs! Oh, and draft right.' People are going to get mad when someone tears up the carpet or pulls out the rug.
What I don't like is the overly negative language from MLG and club staff.
