Who Wants To Be A CEO?

On face value, interesting. Sounds like he’s a great guy, but I’m worried where the club is commercially as well as onfield, so unconvinced but let’s see.

Also I like this years draft a lot, but I’d be lying if I didn’t have some concern with the list manager requiring an external
Consultant to support him? A little strange?

we didn’t need this line to know you’d have reservations

Agreed. Still no word of a new co-major partner.

Or did we go external and discover no one wants to join our dumpster fire so we hired a bloody passionate Bombers man with huge organisational leadership experience.

I like the moves made my list management over the last 12-18 months but I find it weird. It also aligns with the word that I got the that Vozzo was pulling the strings.

Thats the thing about ceos, they’ve got enough hubris to think they’re the guy to change things.

It’s not that uncommon for a CEO to be an executive director.

Appointments like this make me long for the saga days to return

He won’t be the first CEO we have had that has been an Executive Director!

Not sure there’s any point. A guy who is or was the director of Middle East Operations at any kind of consultancy firm, particularly in construction, wouldn’t have any secrets.

Particularly if their clients include the “governments” of Qatar and UAE, and the Saudi royal family.

Probably nothing to see there.

I would have thought someone coming from the business world helps us commercially. So it’s a small tick at this stage.

You have Welsh and Richards as the footy heads on the Board and we have worked out a way that Vozzo can continue mentoring Rosa. I actually think Vozzo will continue to add some very insightful assistance around salary cap management given its complexity and its importance.

Let’s hope he can lock in the Saudi PIF as a sponsor or maybe a Middle Eastern airline

AFL spent a kajillion dollars on a global search and appointed Andrew fkn Dillon.

Hopefully we at least saved the kajillion dollars.

Only reason I can’t think of is no quality candidates wanted to apply to be CEO of our basket case of a club so they had to hire some one internal
