Andrew Fagan to resign as CEO -> new CEO search

[Mr_Moogle]

Fagan "resigning" is good. Can we get whoever managed the Crouch trade to "resign" as well.

Mola Ram has spoken - "You are in a position unsuitable to give orders!"

His heart just wasn't in it anymore.

Noble would be pissed. He's been waiting for years to transition into a CEO job and lo and behold, one opens up at his old club right after he commits to a senior coaching role. Doh!

 

[Mismatched]

Or Kelly to CEO, Glass as head of football?

I’ve been saying for a while that our Adam Kelly appointment smells like succession planning, would not surprise me if he’s current front runner.

 

[hey shorty]

I also don’t buy we don’t have our guy lined up

Usually does work that way, and not just at our club either.

We'd have known for a while Fages wanted to go.

 

[hey shorty]

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.

Unlikely to be too bad IMO. Membership numbers steady, sponsorship unchanged and we actually played footy here albeit under restrictions.

Plus that's got very little to do with Fagan, or any club CEO for that matter

I'd be surprised, finding a new head of footy right now would be difficult.

I would be surprised if it was Kelly.....

That said, I have no doubt this timing is planned and we have our candidate well in our sights

I was thinking this myself last night and what if Noble also fails as a coach....

The footy industry can have short term memory and its hard road back for a failed coach

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.

No, only the 4 financial powerhouses didn't borrow. Everyone else borrowed from the AFL, except us.

It would be a mistake to believe in a "messiah" (we only get one of those in our lifetime) but a club like Adelaide certainly needs a strong and visible leader who can shift the club from a playground for the Corporates to a club totally focussed on football.

Promotion from within, or going back to Trigg, Noble or any other insider/former insider would be a terrible idea.

It's a big job requiring energy, passion, judgement, communication skills, dedication. I doubt there are very many out there who are up to it.

Nope, Noble has had his name mentioned for every senior job that's come up. The rise of Brisbane gave him a chance and he's now doing what has always been his first choice.

Well we can rule Noble out immediately given he's a head coach, and probably Trigg too.... He might want a job but this one would see him under ENORMOUS scrutiny from Day 1 which he wouldn't want.

Grant Kelly will get his name thrown up I reckon.

Can’t see it happening - people who care about baseball aren’t going to follow some pissant club in a pissant league on the other side of the world.

Our core business is footy - that’s where the focus and resources need to be.

Only so much can be put into and return in to footy core business. Both programs have no impact on the footy program.

 

[1970crow]

Probably indifferent.

My prediction. They're kept around, but as PR insurance so they can make a show of selling off/dumping them to "focus on footy" if on field results stay at rock bottom too long. (Most likely in some way that publicly disrupts the Giants midseason and backfires badly)

I reckon esports is dying a quiet death behind the scenes. Smart gone, no club announcement on that, no announcement re his replacement. Just hoping we all forget we took money from the footy dept to sunk million$ into nothingness.

Rubbish, we weren't able to spend the full cap because we were running loss making side ventures.

I guess there was no timeframe for Fagan's departure. Maybe he'll hang around for this year, Kelly can move across to the CEO role next year and find a new head of footy then. Wasn't Neil Balme interested last time but had to pull out due to health issues? Maybe his health will have improved by later this year?

I'm not sure he'd be up for a full time role like that anymore

Personally I would love it if it was Craig. He is a great bloke and well credentialed within the industry.

Who are the 4 financial powerhouses?

Fairly certain the Bulldogs didn't borrow.

 

[phill5158]

Please can whoever it be change us back into a totally football focused club.

Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond and West Coast.

Grant Kelly plays a mean hand of poker.

Bye Andrew.
