Official Club Stuff CFC President thread - BREAKING: Luke Sayers steps down effective immediately

[carlton_99]

Please not Frydenberg

Frydenberg has "ruled himself out" per the Age.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

If Fitzy doesn't want in, I'd be betting on Priestly.

The 90210 guy??

I’ll see myself out.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Robbie Williams? At least Eddie could call him an ape.

 

[KJP7]

Interesting take from Kane about Cook taking on the role for a period of time and allowing Wright a chance to step into his shoes early.

Ian Prendergast was also touted at some point to come onto the board if I recall? Although may not have the clout we'd be after.

 

[BlueGum]

They all lie, cheat, steal and do even worse to their own people. They are all the same. PWC got 'caught' and outted probably because someone in there offended someone somewher or didnt slip them an appropriate thank you.

PS I am not defending or condoning just commenting - base don my own experience(s).

The very skillset that got us into shitsville and kept us there. Egos, shortcuts and short term thinking and decision making. Sayers was there for a lot of it. The only credit he and the board gets from me is the appointment of Cook to short circuit that merry go round. They knew it wasn't working but needed experienced counsel on how to fix it, issue by issue.

Wright had a lot to rectify at Collingwood, so I expect he'll be prepared for the hard work of running the footy club. I still can't believe I'm supporting a Collingwood dude as CEO. It went so well last time.

If Frydenberg gets the gong, I'll be taking a break from the club for a while. And did someone else nominate Chris Judd? Yeah, nah.

Judd would be a great choice.

Very very smart man. Football acumen impeccable.

We could do a lot worse.

I think this ignores just how bad we were as a club, and the monumental amount of work that has gone into turning us around over the last decade. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but we've been headed in the right direction. 2015 was when we started to change course. 10 years ago!
LoGiudice's board (of which Sayers was a part) did a massive amount of work stabilising the club, but made big mistakes with the Liddle and Teague appointments. When Sayers took over he righted those two mistakes.

I didn’t nominate him, but I put judds name out there as a possibility yesterday(just thinking out loud off the cusp type suggestion)

Think yours truly floated this earlier re: Cook for Prez. I’ll listen in to see if Kane-O is lifting any other material..

Didn't particularly impress me when he was a club director.

There's not many things that would make me consider handing my membership in but this may just well be one of them

 

[The Bighouse]

Great Carlton person. Love him. But recently diagnosed with dementia.

Yeah, that was the part of “if up to it” was alluding to.
Was that the story in the HS?

 

[BigFrizz36]

Ahmed Fahour was previously mentioned in dispatches. Smart operator. Might be a good board addition. Make Priestly president and add Fahour as one of the V.P's??

 

[RPCB]

Josh Frydenberg shouldn't need to rule himself out twice. He did it yesterday.

Same. Sick of the political affiliations.

We don't have much to go on though. We know that Judd didn't want someone with training wheels on for coach, and then we went with Teague and he had to walk it back. Turned out he was right though.

What else do you know about Judd as a director?

Can't really give too much away...would get me into trouble with someone. Let's just say...he's much better at giving the appearance he's a very, very smart guy than actually being so. Not saying he's incompetent or would be a disaster...but sometimes things aren't always as they seem.

Sorry to be so vague.

Apologies...didn't realise he had. Cheers.

So this has come from someone you know? I reckon that nobody could be President if we took on board everybody's opinion. You'll always find someone who has a personal grievance or poor opinion of a person. In Judd's case, the opinions of the rest of the board will be closer than anything else we can find.

Yes.

And yes...that person could indeed be President.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I don't like the idea of someone who could be president, talking about other club identities in such a way. Now you'll have me doubting whoever gets the role. I don't want anyone doing it for ego or status.

The guy I know would never run for the job...and anything he has shared with me has been completely off the record.

This all sounds a bit silly reading it back...probably should delete.

Oh, when you said he could be president, with a wink emoji, it seemed like you were saying he was right in the running.

 

[esoteric]

Judd's record as a director was underwhelming. Enough said.

I'm not advocating for Judd. It's just these blanket statements with zero detail that have me thirsting for information.

Are these whispers?

I know the media served it up to him over his 'training wheels' comment, but I can't help but feel he was thrown under the bus on that one.
