Neither of them are great at knowing what's happening though, remember when Ralph said Sparrow was a chance to go to Adelaide about 3 hours before his re-signing was announced?
He's going overseas soon I think. Eddie Mcguire was saying that he was probably going to take the empty seat on the board and be president once he's back.
So this is just temporary with Green?
Green will be very temporary. Think he might have been chosen just for appearances for fans, he's a lovely bloke but not the sharpest tool in the shed. I'll be pretty disappointed if he does in fact lead the board review himself.
I don't think that's been explicitly said yet but I would hope so.
Green gets sucked into twitter fights but I guess that is considered presidential these days.
Incoming 10 year extension for Goodwin, thanks a lot A11dAtP0w3R
Always have to find a negative.
Don't be mean to him on his birthday, mores.
I hope so too, if not it very much feels like US politics this. Putting up someone completely unqualified, but he's a name that the nuffies recognise so that's good enough to buy some votes/goodwill, just a puppet for others behind the scenes.
I just don't want more(s) of the same. I want a different direction.
What gets me is that if Smith does come in next year I would have thought Roffey would just wait it out until then. It feels like the board completely turned on her or there's some other reason she needs to go right now.
Scared of the independent review and a potential board challenge I'd say. Let's look like we are doing something now. Perty and others trying to save themselves.
Is that confirmed somewhere?
Suspect it’s just that she became very on the nose very publicly and very recently. They want the spotlight off themselves so a quick switcheroo might achieve that.
I would be incredibly shocked if he stays in permanently.
Green said board renewal would be the focus of his presidency and flagged the possibility that his leadership would be for the short term if a suitable candidate was found.
