Andrew Fagan to resign as CEO -> new CEO search

[chrisso crow]

Not unhappy to see him go. His silence during the whole preseason camp saga (amongst other numerous incidents during the last few years) while we were getting bashed left, right and centre spoke volumes for his leadership IMO.

He did do a good job business wise though, credit to him there.

It sounded so promising when he first signed on, but he seems just another example (that there are many of in high management) of those that know all of the right things to say to sell themselves.

Onward and upward!

E-sports not sure but baseball is about getting sponsors from the US and Asia.

E-sports is all about eye balls when it comes to sponsors.

I heard he'd bought or set up some sort of travel business. Probably not great timing for him if true

Given Jake Parkinson resigned from the SANFL CEO role in October makes me wonder if he'll put his hand up for the role.

Also wonder if they'll try and get Peter Carey or Paul Di Iulio in since they asked them about the Chairman roles and both have CEO roles elsewhere.

I thought of Jake Parkinson as soon as he left the SANFL as a replacement for Fagan
Didn't he say he was hoping to get back into SA Brewing but that is closing down.
And another door opens

Wonder if Keith Thomas will throw his hat in the ring?

Would be good for him to show his chops after years in the little league

Just saw the report on the late news here in Sydney, his 'resigning' may be a blessing in disguise but the critical thing from here is who they next appoint.

Fingers crossed for you guys that they get this one right.

This was because Olsen's job at the time was to try and screw the AFC and PAFC. The club was leaving the SANFL ties behind so it was Olsen's job to be hard with the two AFL clubs over the stadium deal, he did a pretty damn good job.

Now the shoe is on the other foot I except the reverse from him. It's all about who is paying you, not who you support, this is business!

If Olsen is smart he will be gunning for a Victorian CEO with ties to SA who knows how to make it work in the vAFL. Kelly would be a good option if he has the CEO hunger, or Neil Balme.

Neale Balme would be a good get. Kelly wouldn't be in my considerations at all. I would be looking at an experienced Victorian operator that has worked at a number of strong organisations such as Geelong, Hawthorn, Richmond, Collingwood as both football manager and CEO. Vozzo and Keith Thomas would be some other options.

Before we start congratulating Fagan on his commercial acumen and how well he did off the field for the club, lets wait for the 2020 numbers to be released.

Crows are one of the few clubs yet to release their results. It could be ugly.

 

[SaltPeter]

Balme isn't coming in to take over the CEO role. That just crazy talk

 

[maxlilly]

I reckon Justin Reid will be starting to get a little bit nervous about his role at the club now

Just saw this in my bookface.

The Club is embarking upon a new strategic agenda

Olsen has most likely already hand picked his stooge.

Get the move to Thebby over the line and let the SANFL reap more rewards from us for the next 50 years....

Which one of Dean Brown, Rob Kerin, Rob Lucas or Vickie Chapman will he appoint as the puppet CEO?

I'm not so sure

Personally I wouldn't trust Olsen as far as I could throw him.

Not sure why people are so quick to trust someone who's spent years screwing us over financially for the SANFL's benefit

That's why he is a very "competent" appointment.

I thought we were one of the few clubs that didn’t need AFL financial assistance

Did any club even made a profit last year due to COVID-19 without assistance from the AFL....?

We were able to get bank support via our partnership with Bendigo. My understanding is most clubs ended up being self sufficient. Some results have been surprisingly strong, due to JobKeeper and massive cutbacks in their football department.

We got a loan from Bendigo Bank, no real difference from getting AFL funds other than we can spend the $ how we want without needing to open the books for the AFL to see.

There's no link at all.

Me thinks young Fages lost his protective security blanket when old Chappy boy left.

No doubt Olsen asked Fages to be more focussed on the football side of the business, something he is not comfortable with. Prefers to be a bean counter in the background.

For me, his legacy won’t be about how he handled Phil’s passing. He was spineless and absent as our club was dragged through the mud throughout 2018 and 2019, much like his good mate Chappy. Watching him do sweet FA as he stood by and let others take the blame for the implosion is how I will remember his time here.

This is not a resignation/transition, it’s a firing.

Was about to post exactly this - you're spot on. How a CEO can oversee such a blindly incompetent communications and PR strategy at a time when we needed it most is just confounding.

It's how I'll remember his reign above all else also.

The only benefit was that we kept the prying eyes of the AFL out. But seems we've resolved that internally and arrived at the same conclusion. This has been on the cards for years. It's not a surprise, it was as much as a certainty as Trigg being proved a failure. This was made clear months and months ago.

I find it hard to judge how someone in his position has performed. I don't really know where his job starts and stops. I guess if the buck stops at the top, you'd have to say he's underperformed.

He came in talking about wanting us to have the best footy program in the country, and clearly that hasn't been the case. Under his tenure, we ended up requiring a full club review because things had gone so pear-shaped.

Still, as a massive fan of our AFLW side, I have to concede that he also deserves some credit for being the man up top during the formation and success of that team. Although, again, I have no idea what his actual involvement was in that.

In any event, it definitely feels like time to move on. Bring on the next guy, I guess!
