Icke highly sought after

SIX months ago, Steven Icke helped deliver the recruiting coup of the decade. Now, with Chris Judd safely ensconsed at Carlton, Icke suddenly is the subject of what might be football's next major change of clubs.

Carlton's general manager of football operations is being touted as the next chief executive of Melbourne, one of two clubs he represented as a player.

Melbourne chairman Paul Gardner said last night the club had spoken with Icke and planned to do so again.

"He says he's up to his neck with the Blues, but we intend to talk to him again," Gardner told the Herald Sun.

Icke proved elusive yesterday, but, in one brief conversation, said: "If the opportunity came up, I guess you'd be crazy not to look at it.

"I'm enjoying what I'm doing; there's no reason to leave Carlton.

"There's still a lot of work to be done here."

The fact Melbourne are after our Football Manager means we're on the right track and we're a well run club.

Maybe we can pinch the brilliant Miller or Pelchen to fill the position if Icke takes the Melbourne job.

After all, their fair negotiations and brilliant presentations in trade week secured their respective clubs the signatures of Judd and Thornton.

And maybe at the end of the year we can go chasing Terry Wallet too after Ratts delivers a respectible 10-12 season.

He'd be a fool to leave Carlton before the job is finished... sure we've had a good 12 months off the playing field but the fruits of his labour are not yet complete.

I hope he stays to fulfill his destiny and be part of a Carlton premiership, for I aint seeing that happening at Melbourne in the near future.

I like how he said 'there is no reason to leave Carlton'

Remembering he only said 'he'd be silly not to look at it' meaning no disrespect to my great mate Connolly but i'll look and trash it at the same time.

The man is driving up his price, which Pratt will happily pay i'm sure.

Why would you leave a Job with security at Carlton - for a rabble.

And would he say anything else before he had signed a contract with the Dee's if he was to go ?

A successful stint as CEO anywhere would put a huge tick on Icke's resume and raise his earning capacity and open doors for the rest of his working life, but that is only if he is successful in the position.

Sure Pratt might better the offer financially but it will be a big decision for Icke.

If Swann wants to keep him he'll ring Dick. Dick will offer more cash and he will stay.
He will only go if Swann lets him go.

Sorry .. but I couldn't resist the temptation to get my own back - it felt good to call sonmeone else a rabble for a change

Hopefully he'll stay at Princes Park, however, being a Cheif Executive at an AFL club would be pretty desirable, no matter who it is.

I'll do it for 150K but I want an MCC membership thrown in.
