Because he backed the coach despite gradual but consistent declines in performances over 2 years.

Is it true Sayers was there when they appointed Mick then Bolts than Teague? If so the review should look at his tenure also. Fish rots from the head

I have been saying going on 15 years now the board has to go

When did he back the coach?

I know, but Sayers is actually part of the review committee, as is Liddle

And is Pav actually coming across to Melbourne to participate, or is he doing it via zoom?

So it's not recruiting it's the board?

It's everything.
It's a poorly run club as far as football goes.
But the board have presided over years of ineptitude.

So it's not recruiting it's the board?

Whole thing is a joke.
No wonder it's been 20 odd years of shit.

Don't be a smart arse mate.
He's backed the coach by virtue of being there and not doing anything to not back him. Which is tantamount to support.
He's got his fingerprints all over this calamity as well.
He's arguably the most important person in the footy dept and he along with the HC have presided over another disgraceful era at the club. Add in the CEO and President. They all need to take accountability for the state the club is in now on the field.
Right now I'm sure they're all reaching for the life jackets. That's the nature of things.
But blind Freddy could see last year we were going downhill with Teague and yet he's still at the club. He reports to Lloyd.
Seems pretty bloody clear to me.

Do you have access to the minutes of board meetings? Because unless you’re a board member I hope not.

If you understand anything about governance and boards is that after a vote, the board should speak with one voice. Is the coach choice one to resign a board seat over? Not necessarily, as it may affect harmony which is crucial. If a dissenting board member wishes to note their dissent they can for future reference but it may not be necessary or desirable to make that dissent public.

How do you know how Sayers has voted in those coach appointments?

So it's not recruiting it's the board?

What guarantee or likelihood that a brand new Board will be any better than the current lot?
People have been talking about Sayers for a while and with him in charge - and he is a completely different type of person to MLG with different skills and different networks - plus Judd and MLG leaving, that seems a reasonably healthy amount of change while still retaining some continuity.
Let’s say what happens from here, beginning with the Review which should give us an indication of what kind of President Sayers is.
