News Carlton parts ways with Cain Liddle - Post #400

[cookie monster]

The membership stuff was clever from a PR point of view, particularly in an environment where no one was actually going to the footy anyway. Cost nothing, got more people engaged with the club.

Yeah but it relied on football success to manifest real long term benefit

Good riddance snake

No argument there. And the footy operations side is what seems to have lost him his job ultimately.

 

[Arr0w]

Wasn't right for a CEO role, more pure marketing.

This is a great day. Cain Liddle was talented but destructive. One of those guys who thought he was an expert in all areas and would not stay in his lane
I am so relieved

 

[La Dispute]

Helped build the club off field and made some decent strides with memberships, marketing, fan engagement etc which was his wheelhouse, but was promoted beyond his capacity and made some bad decisions ousting SOS and appointing Teague mid-season without a proper process.

Will not be missed.

 

[Doug Deep]

How do we know this?

I read it on the internet.

 

[jd2010]

Damn! Who is going to give me a free membership next year with this guy gone?

 

[Kades_Dad]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Lloyd next

If Cook won't take the role. Forget Cerra and offer Simon Garlick

from Freo a deal he can't refuse. He has the all the makings.

Bout time, good riddance.

I didn’t like his appointment back when it was announced and I like it a hell of a lot less now. Good riddance. Was great for membership but was terrible for everything else. Welcome Mr Cook.

 

[BlueTongue]

Honestly think he had the best intentions
But he was a new age CEO that just didn't have it in him to make hard calls or call out poor performance.

His excuse mongering and Molly coddling bred a culture of mediocrity across the club.

Destroyed the value of our memberships too.

Wish him the best, however he was just another poor appointment in a string of poor appointments from a terrible club board

Tried to turn us into Richmond reserves, stuck his nose into recruitment, and watered down our memberships. That’s his legacy.

Cain is definitely going to hit his 2022 Membership KPI now... sacking him has more of a chance to increase or maintain current numbers then it would've by retaining him.

Cain is a solid marketing executive but you need to have more as a CEO. You need to manage the relationship and expectations between the board and the football department. You need to employ good people underneath you to run the football department. You need to call out poor performance. Unfortunately Cain failed on a number of these metrics and the decision to relieve him of his duties was overdue.

'Back me or sack me': Carlton parts ways with CEO Liddle

Blues staff have been told that Cain Liddle is moving on

Sounds like Liddle had the 'Back, Sack and Crack' done !!

 

[TrueQldBlue]

I hope we can eventually bring SOS back.

Mods, can we start a "Bring Back SOS" page please with a voting system. Yes / Yes Please.

Surely we have Cook lined up the take the spot right?

This. It was a house of cards that would have fallen next year. Fortunately for Liddle, he won't be blamed for any downfall next year now and can claim it fell because he was sacked.

Having said that, if we have big appointments still to be made, the fall might not come at all. In that case, Liddle can claim his method was sustainable.

He lost me over his rubbish explanation for the SOS sacking, and his undermining of recruiters by implementing a recruiting panel that he sat on.

I can't say I am disappointed by this news.

As much as I love SOS, I'm going to let the club do their thing and not support fan initiated pressure that may alter the course we are on.

Did well in a commercial and membership sense, but struggled in a holistic sense with his approach to the football department. Best suited to the CCO roles of which I'm sure he'll get plenty of offers.

Would have cost the club merchandise/ post they didn't need to spend money on...
