Club membership numbers are a ruse, all around. They are like the war on ‘megapixels’ in cameras. This has no direct relation to whether Campbell is a successful CEO or not, and shouldn’t be used as a valid argument either way - for many reasons.
except they combine that with our crowd attendances they can point to us being one of the the BIG clubs and that will get provide better exposure for the sponsor’s product
It is more of a factor when you are Essendon, Richmond, Collingwood, even Carlsum. Less so when you are Bulldogs and Aints or Suns. It is a factor, may not be the biggest one but it still has it;s place.
We are one of ‘the big clubs’ - based on published profit margins. How many ‘members’ a club has doesn’t have that much to do with it. There are (as pointed out) too many variables on with membership numbers. Let alone ‘supporter’ numbers. But a dollar is a dollar.
I kind of agree. Save the anger for stuff like salary cap breaches etc that Xman etc are actually in the business of looking after, not the playing style etc.
Thinking whilst driving home - this guy really should see no option but to resign immediately.
He has to take the responsibility of ballsing up the biggest decision an AFL club board will make. Make not mistake. Board members should see that and have a long hard think about their positions as well.
He has to concede that is on him and must move on. Credibility and all that.
