I truly believe that we are led by a bunch of heartless and greedy business Men who took control of our Club since 2003 and have totally destroyed it.
whilst as business men, they might have had success in turning a profit for the club ( or for themselves?? ), generating millions in revenue from Poker machines and other ventures, On the other hand, they have totally neglected the football side of things.
Those Men have no clue about football!
People ask the same question every week " What is the solution?? "
The Solution is that our entire Board must be stood down, our CEO Sacked and our entire football department should be replaced by people who know something about football.....
We are sick of the lies... the false promises.... the 5 year plan that has already occurred 3 times in 15 years....
Yep
I'd suggest the board have bought millions of dollars into the club. Are you suggesting they're in it to somehow drag money out of the club or to fill their own pockets?
Whilst you're sitting at home in winter watch MAFS or Home and Away, they actually do something productive for the club. They attend board meetings and functions that actually benefit the clubs existence. All the while paying for the privilege. Not getting paid.
Whilst the whingers here sit under their doonas and fire pissy cheap shots all the while contributing @#$%&! all.
Yes we could be better but I give the board full credit. They've set the first ever plan by our club to rebuild the list and they've stuck to the task, in spite of the bed wetters.
It's not the boards fault that some of our early picks haven't come on as much as we'd like. They've set a strategic direction that has supported the rebuild and given the footy department every opportunity to succeed.
What more do you actually want them to do? Spell it out. Don't just spew out meaningless comments like "sack the board". What more would you want from the board and CEO over the past couple of year?
Personally, I give them great credit. I never thought I'd see a Carlton board with the guts to set a strategic plan in place to rebuild the list totally and see it out. They have and I give credit where it's due.
Whether the list manager and coaching staff have provided the framework and personnel, that's yet to be determined IMHO but it's not from lack of resources or support in my eyes.
I understand the frustration and anger but let's not lose our heads and rant and rave without basis or substance.
If Bolton has 5 wins at seasons end and the team are playing with enthusiasm and effort. I'd give him another year.
If not, give someone else an opportunity. IMHO, we have 1 coach who has twice shown an ability to mould a line into a strong cohesive unit. Dale Amos. I'd love to know whether he has the ability to take the next step. Interview him and a number of other candidates but let's not fall into the old Carlton model of going for another messiah.
At the time they embarked on this list rebuild they did so with a Rookie CEO - Rookie President and Rookie Coach ( one who had never played at any level to speak of)
Trust us they said we know what we are doing - It was like put a team of UNI grads in charge of a corporate enterprise and expecting it to thrive - We were hoping for our very on Facebook or Amazon
I have been questioning this rebuild since it began and questioned the need to even announce they were doing it
Clubs on average turn over 8 players a years - We cut harder with no significant senior players to soften the blow
It was and is a dumb decision be it a brave one or a courageous one they have made a mistake
The entire football public has now come to this realisation that some of us new from the start , It is now up to the club to realise the error of their ways
