...yeah That's what these clowns believed in



...I bet they could have used some good old fundamental "honesty, integrity and accountability" ?

whatever it takes has brought their club and the game to its knees....

Don't blame the Shepherd for the sheep following him.

Success in a sporting code is easy to measure and KPI's can be put in place it increase your chance of success.

Pure irrelevant nonsense is your post above

KPIs??

well the KPIs begin with understanding who you are and what youre doing...
unless u know who you are and what youre doing you cant achieve KPIs .... so you wont get KPIs if you dont want to face up to what youre doing and who you are....
Gamblers need to know and understand who they are and what theyre doing before they can move forward
Druggies.. the same..
Same as plonks


lol

i think youre the little boy lost stevie....

Problem is ...the club also...

on with it then.... and your KPIs...keep us informed.... ok??? lol

Synbad, why bother to reply if you don't read what was posted in the first place?



I'll make easier for you and highlight it in red.

just to set you straight...

KPIs come after a process... that process includes honesty and integrity

we cant face up to who and what we are so we dont improve.....

u begin at the beginning.... not at the end...

Thanks for the belittlement, classy.

If you seriously think that Honesty and Integrity are going to change the direction the Club is heading, then you are more deluded than I thought you are.

You are a smart person Synners, surely you can come up with more than just criticizing the whole place and some fluff about integrity, board should go etc.

because im a smart person i can criticise the whole club
unless we all believe the club that has spent the last 15 years not making any splashes in the comp.. not having won any prelims.(every other club has in that time except maybe richmond). having won 3 wooden spoons... had an unprecedented number of early picks with stkilda....
started that period as a powerhouse club and is now struggling to hit 45,000 members
made a massive loss of 1.6 million...
had a massive amount of early picks plus second and third rounders fail.

kept coaches like capuano and barker even though they have shown nothing for over 5 years...
have an exclusive view of this club... having pawned off naming rights to distasteful individuals like edelsten (who hasnt paid for them in fulll mind u ).. all because they cant do the simple things like connect with their members )

.. doesnt need criticism... well ill say heeeeeeeeeeeee.....

i can go on and on about this club and its ills.. often i do.....

but right now its about having a good hard look at itself.. and seeing itself for what it is...

White noise is not constructive

yes it is.....

it needs a tipping point

were not quite there yet.....

the more people educating themselves about this club the better.

for example... right at this moment.. the club has enough votes to implement change to the constitution theyre requiring

There are blocks voting for this and they have been implemented a long time before you opened your eyes....

therefore... we can deduce most carton people are still dummies.... and more people must be educated

white noise starts off as white noise... but lets see how it goes when the numbers change....

obviously right now.. they have it packaged in a pretty tidy parcel.....

and they do with the club anything they wish.....

mostly because most people are stupid....so its about education.....

we will have a long era in the darkness.... but as with any kind of education its expensive.. so this will be...

KPI are 1.6 mill in the red
player upon player on the trash heap
45,000 members
a list were trying to improve and balance whilst we have had ample opportunity over the last decade

thats off field stuff .. not on field...

theres a lesson in all that.....

get the off field right.. youll get the onfield right....

but you cannot get the off field right by thinking and guessing and lying to yourself...

youre kidding yourself if you believe the heads and suits around this club who have proven themselves to be out of their league time and time again... decision on decision are finally going to guess their way to a flag.....

first they must recognise theyre not the right people.. and whatever they think theyre doing is fools gold..

all that takes honesty and integrity .... it means opening the club up to others....

that doesnt look like happening does it??

its because the club is bogged down with dishonesty....

from the top all the way down....

Don't disagree with you, however a few considerations

1. Supporters aren't stupid, if they care enough they would demand a change. As it is they just don't renew their membership, people have more important things going on in their life than CFC

2. The boards job is not to run the club, but get the right people in to do the job and set the objectives of what the club wishes to achieve like what you listed as KPIs

3. The board is too big to function as it should, this has been raised and agreed on by all. The question is what can we do about it? In a game of musical chairs even though everyone knows theere are not enough chairs, they all want a seat.

With all that said, let's control the things that we can control first and deal with the structural issues in due course.

The board of directors job is to set the direction of the club.
How's the club going?
What's its direction.

Assess this clubs direction and where it is right now and you'll understand my thoughts about this board and where its taking this club

When you boil it all down that's what you're looking at. Then you look at that hand on hand with policy.
It's simple...

Heard that the club has very recently created and filled the position of brand manager.

First time the club has had someone dedicated to this task.

Glad to hear that the club has identified the need, however I still believe that marketing companies have the best talent in this area unless you are prepared to pay well overs to poach the right person.

Actually, don't really have to pay overs Steve, just employ the right person!
I have seen some very good astute marketing people who don't earn, what I would say is top dollar and then I have seen some very special one's as well. Marketing consultants are very good but they also do not always understand or truly relate to the business brands.
