Understand ABNS I think David was being facetious albeit the sentiment is right the role of CEO to spruik the club.However he as CEO needs to also take some responsibility for the performance of the team on the field the fact that board turnover hasn’t been what it needs to be and we continue to be largely irrelevant on the footy landscape .
He has now been there a few years and yes has done well in terms of membership will not be judged on that alone.
If we continue to be underperforming the CEO can spin it all he likes but ultimately he and the board are the ones who have levers to ultimately improve performance .
The smoke machine can only go so far and these people need to be accountable
I haven't read what abns posted yet.
I just can't see how the onfield performance is the responsibility of the CEO...and nor would I want it too.
I don't want the CEO getting involved in the Football Dept other than managing the Borad to look after the finances for The football department, and that The Football adheres with the club's constitution and Directives of the Football Director, who takes the decisions made by the Board to the Football Manager.
Blurring the lines there imo.
We want the CEO to spruik the club.
Ive been involved at Board level (Corporate) and believe me, there's alot of spruiking done when the company is not doing well and when it is doing well for good reason.
Have a think for a minute what happens if the CEO doesn't spruik the club.
Have a read what the media are spruiking. A LOT OF LIES. They are not presenting all the facts. Its 5 rounds in and we've lost to last year's Ladder leader, Last year's Premiers and last year's finalist and its only round 5 and the season is over for us. Is that the gloom you want our club bathed in? I don't. I say fight back FFS and make the Football Dept accountable.
