What I'm interested in is particularly the boards' responsibility and accountability in all this. 75% of the board are long term board members and have overseen poor governance and decision making in football decisions, Ratten, MM appointments and their sackings, poor list management and recruitment over 15 years and now this decision. All while they have retained their positions on the board.

Time for the Board to put up or get out.

The club has never ever been better and you want to call for a board spill. THIS IS THE OLD CARLTON

Sometimes i think supporters on here are so bored with their own lives that they just love drama to keep them going.

JUST BE PATIENT. OUR TIME WILL COME

Is it really a CEOs job to connect with the rank and file?

To turn supporters into members, I think the rank and file need to be engaged. Trigg did a good job making the ordinary member feel like a stakeholder.

I have been a member - on and off - since 1963, including the last 15 seasons straight. Only since Trigg arrived have I felt appreciated.

My advice (FWIW) ...is don't get too caught up in the happenings of the board. Carlton will be fine. MLG mightn't be everyone's cup of tea - but he's doing a pretty good job. Every now and then he's going to get caught on the back foot but that's the nature of the beast.

I was coming on here for years saying Carlton wouldn't win anything until it got its house in order...blah, blah, blah...it's hogwash. I WAS WRONG. The politics of a footy club is fine on the proviso they don't interfere with the footy department too much. If they do, it filters down throughout the staff and the playing group. Ask any Carlton player currently what he/she thinks of the board and I guarantee you the answer 99% of the time will be "I don't really pay too much attention to that stuff". This board isn't interfering...it's all good.

FWIW I think Steven Trigg did a really good job as the conduit between the board and the footy department. I expect the incumbent to do much the same.

We all know Carlton are a really easy target for the media...they can hardly criticize Richmond any more - so understandable that the likes of Caro and Danny Frawley have put the boots in while they can.

The main priority (I would have thought) for the supporter is the footy department. It was always going to be a "in SOS we trust" exercise and I'm yet to come across a Carlton supporter who doesn't think we have a pretty bloody solid footy department and the place is running ok.

I met with Trigg and MLG at the end of 2014. I didn't quite hear the responses I wanted to hear and haven't been a member since. In hindsight - the President and CEO gave me 30 minutes of their time. Didn't know me from a bar of soap. That was rare and I don't think I fully appreciated it. I also didn't fully appreciate that they had their ideas and were going to stick to their path. I know a few people on here have had similar discussions since. Had Steven Trigg respond to their emails. Tuned in to listen to Steven on KB's morning show where he did a mighty fine job. Many supporters (myself included) were pretty @#$%&! wary when he arrived - I think it's fair to say he exceeded expectations.

Criticize OLD Carlton as much as you like but they didn't muck around.They identified there target and got him no matter what and he was the best.

Trigg is a damn hard worker which i like.Puzzled by the whole scenario myself..............and if Lethlean is the chosen one why not give him the gig without this BULLSHIT process.You either want the bloke or you don't.................talk about Nero fiddled while Rome burnt.Startinf to get nervous about this crew.Been supportive until now but this wishy washy muckin' around shit drives me crazy.Criticize OLD Carlton as much as you like but they didn't muck around.They identified there target and got him no matter what and he was the best.

I thought so. Office has been tight to date.

This would all have gone brilliantly had Caro not forced our hand. She says Trigg has been treated poorly but she has brought forward the public scrutiny.

Thanks to Kate Jenkins and there was know rift between SOS and Trigg and don’t believe all the bullshit in the media maybe timing wasn’t right but there’s never is..

So according to Barass one of our board members is leaking information to Caro?

All while they have retained their positions on the board. I agree with a lot of what Wangers says and the board needs to take more responsibility for their previous failings, which there has clearly been many. But just as a comparison, the average tenure for CEOs of global organisations is around 5 years. Whilst Trigg has been around for 3.5 years, the fact that they're now looking for a replacement or the clubs vision has changed slightly over the years doesn't necessarily mean his appointment initially was a failure.

I wasn't happy when they appointed Trigg ... but I was wrong and I think he has done a pretty good job. Whatever has caused this (and I don't rule out the Madhouse ) I am unhappy to see him go.

Fair bit to talk about on this thread that might just be a never ending one. And that is in terms of individual subjects. But firstly, this thread is about Steven Trigg. And I'll start off by saying all the best to you Steven; you have done a fine job and it's a shame to see you go so soon. And btw, does anyone have any info on who, outside of Lethlean, might be applying for the CEO role?

They’ve all been around for a significant part of the last 15 years. So what great achievements have any of them overseen? The jury’s still out on whether this latest rebuild will actually get us anywhere. The fact is the club has been and still is a complete laughing stock and an embarrassment for at least 15 years.....I see nothing to be proud of.
