News Chapman to step down

[hey shorty]

While I don't rate Chapman and think he is a huge part of the problem, and you cant trust anything that comes out of his mouth, personally I think Roo is the one that has to go. He has overseen all the big football appointments and decisions within the football department.

I get that Chapman is Chairman but I think his influence over anything football is fairly minimal.

I get that he is a club great on field but escapes way too much scrutiny.

Not any more he doesn't

 

[rocket18]

Don't get excited folks, no end date on the horizon.

The useless prick is here for awhile yet.

Just listened to the Chapman interview and the thing that stood out to me was he/ they thought that the team played "ok" on the weekend.
If they think that performance was ok in any way then they are completely out of touch

Having a CEO who has no involvement with the football side of things is up there in terms of our major issues. Would make it impossible to be able to conduct any type of performance management or issue resolution with his subordinates.

 

[Smoooothy]

this is just despicable clickbait... he's not going anywhere

 

[GrommoT]

I'm an ex-banker and recently retired so I can do it.

I'd have beer and pizza nights for all those on Big Footy with the players etc.

You could be on to something, I hadn't thought of it that way. The Football Department is mostly likely run by Roo and Burton with Pyke following and bassically no one challenging from outside.

What is Jamisons role on the Board?

He runs the Crows Foundation, and a couple of other things. Has been great in all my contacts with him.

 

[asdfasd]

Chapman announces he is stepping down.. at some unspecified point in the future which could be years away.

 

[King Elvis]

Correct - he made it very clear that he would not be there now if it wasn’t for the untimely death of Bob, and that he was the successor.

So he’ll stay now until he can hand pick a replacement?

FFS, Chapman isn’t that good that we’re lucky he stayed on - when the planned replaced passed away, we should’ve started looking for the next option.

******* joke the way these pricks think the Club is their personal plaything.

 

[ThePrideOf]

A board challenge is required!

The board sucks!

Old out of touch boys club!

The board is a reflection of the crows through and through!

There are no innovators, there are no forward thinkers.

Just stinkers!

Happy to be part of a confederate board!

From what I heard this morning on 5AA of the snippets of his interview there were a couple key points.
He won't be there in 2020.
He picked a successor that he thought was perfect fit the role but the board (?) is not going with that person, and he's quite disappointed.

Yeah. I'm sure I heard him say he will not there in 2020. We can only hope.

I had thought he wanted Bob Foord to take over, but then he passed away in late '17.

Pretty sure he was talking about his successor now.

 

[Deaneus!]

Cripps, would you trust him to pick his successor?

Looks like the board didn’t even trust him.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Still waiting for his version of the truth of the Tippett saga

 

[Vader]

Maybe they have searched the world and found the perfect one in their own club. Burton.

Would be a perfect example of the Peter Principle.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Don't know enough about Bob to know whether he would've been better. Sadly we will never know.

Is there lead in the water down there?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Having a CEO who has no involvement with the football side of things is up there in terms of our major issues. Would make it impossible to be able to conduct any type of performance management or issue resolution with his subordinates.

It means that he would rely almost completely on Ricciuto and (shudder) Burton for any football stuff.

We don't have a very wordly crew down there.

Who knows the industry inside out and has had various roles at a few clubs? And has seen some success along the way?

I’m in. I could do it. I remember money...my life pre teenagers.

As I said to you earlier, go and poach Craig Vozzo.

It's how Sanders did it before him.
