Prior was a dickhead as a player and appears to still be a dickhead off-field.
Sacked as AFLW coach but gets to keep a job at the club.

Strange call. Can’t remember him being involved in any on ground incidents in a career ruined by knee injuries… still one of the more talent juniors drafted out of wa.. coached east Perth colts to a flag which is an achievement most can’t manage and the players loved him..
Must have been the bad habits he got at freo that’s got him in the mess he is in.

My memories of him at Essendon obviously differ greatly to yours.

I don't understand why the club allows failed staff members to hang around like farts in an elevator.
I note that Gossage mentioned the Eagles should be reaching out to ex Bombers CEO Xavier Campbell for the CEO role.
Might be reading to much into Goss's comments (always fraught with danger), but if Goss is mentioning it, I suspect his already been approached, and that Don Pyke is no longer an option.
CEO of bombers for 8 years (2014-2022)
Positive - His CEO of a beer company
Negative - The Beer company only make mid strength
Thoughts on Xavier?

Yeah nahhhhhhhh
What did Essendon achieve during his time that suggests he's the one to lead us out of the malaise we've found ourselves in?

Some potential candidates for CEO:
Peter Capes - Subi CEO
Peter Bell
Travis Auld
Graham Wright
Brendon Gale
Kylie Watson Wheeler (President of WB and VP at Disney)
Craig Vozzo
David Noble - now CEO of Shell racing. Yes not a great coach but hear he’s a great administrator.
Simon Lloyd - GM at Geelong
Any others?

Current CEO is claiming he’s the only viable contender

Mr Tebsin, who comes from some place far away, has emerged as a strong contender.

Simon Lloyd was raised a while ago in a previous thread and he’d be a very good candidate
Charlie Gardiner at Sydney would also be worth talking to
Both Executive/General Football Managers at their respective clubs who happen to be the two best run clubs in the league
A left field suggestion would be Christina Matthews at the WACA
• WA cricket is in pretty rude health under her leadership
• Has shown she isn’t afraid to step on toes in her dealings with the old guard of WA cricket
• Is well accustomed to dealing with an East Coast-centric administration who have little or no regard for WA
• Successfully managed WA cricket through the covid crisis despite significant challenges. The same can’t be said for West Coast’s leadership over the same period
• Would have strong connections through the WA business community and government
The downside is she’s 64 which is only a couple of years younger than Nisbett so she might not be willing to take on a a new role or be in it for the long term if she does
That said, like a chlorine bomb in a dirty pool, a short 3 year shock treatment to get things back on track could be the jolt the club needs

Love this idea. I get the sense there are a lot of staff members at the club that have grown very comfortable in their role over a number of years.

Absolutely spot on. I mean it's pretty obvious just from the outside but have also had it that said to me from just under the handful of people ive known that have worked in and around the club, most no longer there.

I don't mind the Pyke prospect, but in my mind the ideal candidate is pretty obvious. No prior club allegiance, not afraid to step on anyone's toes, intimately knows the ins-and-outs of list management and rebuilding via the draft, gets people onside and forms great relationships, knows the value of consistency in messaging, and is a wonderful teacher and communicator.
