Bottom line is Sayers was a relic from our past
He wasn’t the type of President we needed now
That’s because his character had to come into question in regards to the PWC tax scandals where he came out of that relatively unscathed compared to others below him
His quest to get Ross Lyon to coach Carlton was outdated and plain dumbarse
Patty Kinnersly hopefully sends us into a new positive direction if appointed
I don’t want Fitzpatrick as someone alluded to
Another relic past his used by date
Embarrassingly so the club looks pretty pathetic now
But it could have all been avoided if he wasn’t President in the first place
It was me who mentioned Mike F.
Don’t want him? Justify your response? I agree with Tom Elliot that Mike is an ideal candidate. He’s had my vote for years.
Ok
Essentially 3 reasons
Yes he knows a lot about footy on and off the field with much experience.
But to me he comes across with too much aloofness.
He is also getting on. Now that’s not a disadvantage if you have your faculties and marbles in check but it is if you’re living in the past. I personally as a supporter want to club to move away from that. It hasn’t worked with previous icons in administration roles at the club
Thirdly I want a woman at the helm compared to a bloke
Why
Because in my 62 years 45 years working with people in various forms women are
Better listeners
Better communicators
Better at multi tasking
Better at judging people which 90% of time is based on not what you actually say
Less ego driven
Kinnersly fits the bill
Besides being a woman she has all these traits
She has had experience at board level
Her football experience and experience in business is first class
Personally I thought Sayers was a bit of a tool
His handling of the Ross Lyon pending coaching appointment by Carlton was dumb and outdated
It also lacked perception
Now my mail was when Sayers went back to the board to get Lyon’s appointment approved it was Kinnersly who voted against it and it had to be unanimous.
Obviously the hush money to the woman who was allegedly sexually harassed by Lyon at a Dockers function had something to do with Kinnersly saying no to him given her position at Our Watch
But clearly she also new Lyon was passed it as a coach
To win a flag you have to be top 4 to 6 in scores against
Something Lyon achieves nearly every year he has coached teams
But you generally have to be in the top half for scoring
In the last 2 years the Saints have been the fourth worst scoring team. Nothing has changed and they get 2 defenders with top 15 draft picks. SOS is Lyons mate and guess where he ends up
He is a smug arrogant character who was employed essentially by another bloke
Andrew Basset
Like Sayers a successful businessman who embodies all of those stupid male traits I
just mentioned.
If it wasn’t for her Lyon would be our coach
What do you think of that?
Bottom line I want to club to have a new direction
Sayers to his credit was better than Mark, Sticks etc
but to me the club is still stuck in the past if Fitzpatrick gets the job
It’s 30
Years and counting

I understand it's a tongue in cheek comment but in reality, I'm not sure too many were "appointed" from a wide field. Several over recent years have been the only ones willing to put their hands up.
