Ian Herman and Andrew Phillips (the rover) have been quite successful outside of football.

Salacious corporeal material rather than suited corporate failings ends Sayers tenure

Had he clung to the presidency, Sayers would have faced pressure to explain exactly what had transpired and the provenance of this embarrassing photo.

Balanced and fair article imo.

Yep, we need a Dimon in the rough...

 

[Jimmae]

Notice "Compromised". The way that is emphasized suggests to me that that word is very loosely used in the normal 'hacked' context. As in someone he knew picked up his phone.

That's the technical term used when contacting a platform about getting your account back. Some accounts are breached via password guessing, most are done via stolen or phished credentials.

And all of that is assuming someone didn't just take your details from your home/office/device without your permission.

Anywho, given all the careful wording, I'd suggest the photo is authentic but it's unclear if there was an affair with a - presumably unnamed - third party.

Not necessarily an affair - I can totally imagine if I told my school friends that I may have a crush on someone they decide it’s a funny idea to send a DM a photo they download off the internet - and my friends aren’t the smartest and could easily post a public message instead of a private direct message - and they would then tell me about it and tell me I should probably delete the DM and then to my horror I see they actually posted it

He has said the phone was compromised and also that the woman tagged had nothing to do with it (implying no affair or even relationship) - but he doesn’t say the photo isn’t his so my above scenario isn’t completely true but it’s plausible

A messy situation and a complete distraction but now in the rear view mirror and we can focus on the season

Basically found not guilty. He moves on, we move on.

by the same mob who found Essendon not guilty of drug cheating and that port never broke concussion rules

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Maybe because the first time he realized the photo existed, it was already too late.

It's obviously not a selfie. That means someone else probably snapped it with his phone. The phone would need to be unlocked for that. Easily done with Face ID or fingerprint these days if someone is passed out or asleep. They therefore had opportunity to post it to social media.

If he's left himself open to blackmail, sextortion, revenge-pron, then I get that's still a scandal, but more a personal one.

it's like watching swifties defend her private jet overuse carbon footprint.....

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Tom Elliot nominates Frydenberg, Fitzpatrick or Kouta to step up and nominate for the role. Clubs needs someone not currently associated with the board….makes sense to me.

Was the only logical conclusion, regardless of whether he's guilty or involved in the post.
I have no preference for his replacement. I just want someone who is a smart business person and minimal chance of being involved in a scandal.

Thanks Luke, you did some good things in your time at the club, but your time had come.
All of the personal stuff that happened outside of the club is of no consequence to me, so that can be dealt with by those involved.

Frydenberg would be highly polarising, really don’t think that’s a road we should go down.

I don’t know how anyone could’ve watched Kouta’s Lord Mayoral campaign and thought they want him in charge of anything.

Fitzy I’d be ok with but I think it’s reasonably likely we end up with a current board member stepping up. If the board has been doing a good job under Sayers then why do we have to look externally?

 

[JustaBattler]

Good Presidents are Chairpersons and good chairpersons are typically someone who can draw capable board talent to join and help them build a collective experience and capability to appoint and monitor the best management possible- the people who actually run the business of the Club.

Football Club Board members aren't paid - and their motivations cover a spectrum - they can be bonifide members of a tribe and wish the tribe to succeed an prosper, at the other end they want to 'resume pad' and promote their own personal interests.

I think Sayers has been quite clearly the best chairperson the Club has had in decades - as he has been able to put together the necessary foundations of Club competency. Being able to attract capable management, attract strong sponsorship, membership and improved on field results is not an easy thing to do without a unified, cohesive and acceptable level of competency across a range of important day to day activities.

As for those who have criticised his alleged misdeeds as head of PWC - clearly you have no idea how business worked, is working still and will always work - and PWC is no more 'guilty' than any other accounting/legal/PR/strategy firm that lives off government outsourcing and that gravy train. Pointing finegrs at Sayers is either naivety or hyperbole.

I think the circumstances of this personally humiliating event leading to his resignation are just sad and I congratulate him for resigning in the best manner possible under difficult circumstances - he has done the right thing in the best possible manner for the Club - hopefully the next chairperson can continue the good work and build on the strong foundations they inherit.

(Fitzpatrick excluded, but he's never seemed interested)

 

[Stamos]

Anyway it sounds like Priestly will be the next Pres.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Whatever happened to the NAB guy?

Mmm....not sure I love a President who isn't across where the Board is at and the recent history. You bring in fresh faces when things need a reset but the Board and exec have done a great job recently. IMO last thing we need is some high profile newbie coming in and swinging their member around. Continuity and stability is crucial here.

But Tom Elliot is not a particularly serious person so what do you expect.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

History has shown we can abide a lot in our presidents...but the lens is mightier than the sword.

 

[branedotorg]

Whatever happened to the NAB guy?

Became CEO of Australia Post, now work for Tim Gurner. Moved to Latitude Financial in between and didn't cover himself in glory.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

didn't cover himself in glory.

Should fit right in

Sure, lets hear your scenario then.

Yeah...nah...

Blithely accepting the actions leading up to the PWC fiasco as 'the way things are done' sounds very Carlton of old. You can't have part time integrity.

Most of the things highlighted above were well in motion in LoGiudice's time.

I’d sound out Stephen Gough - ex-MCC CEO.
