Opinion Stephen Silvagni

[gandaal]

What qualifications in List Management does Liddle possess that make him think it's ok to recruit players behind the List Managers back?

Bizzare and concerning decision making.

 

[HaydossJ]

This is a ******* mess. After everything this club has gone through in the last 20 years, has nobody learned ******* anything?

 

[Blues Clues]

Ridiculous and outrageous. Members should revolt.

 

[Gingerbread man]

The Carlton way is to “make someone an offer they can’t refuse.” I’m sure it’s almost impossible, but I’d love nothing more than to pry Wells from Geelong. I love SOS and what he’s achieved, but in my opinion Wells is the #1 recruiter/list manager in the game. It would be massive if we were to get him. No one would have thought that Russell would leave Hawthorn a few years ago - let’s use that same proactive approach with Wells.

What has Wells done lately, his identification of 18yo talent in the last 10 years is poor at best.

That’s pretty scathing.
Liddle will be up against it to survive long term.

 

[ESKIE]

All this crap is so disappointing

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Well it's pretty frustrating that once again a club legend leaves the club in acrimony.

Don't know if (rightly or wrongly) that Liddle can ever regain the trust of the supporters.

Loguidace needs to show some real leadership as President in the coming weeks, otherwise his tenure could be under threat too.

What the ****, Liddle.

I'm deleting you from LinkedIn, you don't deserve the honour...

Thought SOS was doing a good job. Set us up for long term success.

The fact that we came home with a wet sail in the back half of 2019 shows that the list build was on the right track.

 

[Nori]

I think the board may have made a huge mistake by siding with Liddle over SOS.

Any membership gains Liddle had hoped to make by bringing in Eddie will be offset by what they will loose with SOS departing in acrimonious circumstances.

To my way of thinking Liddle is now well and truly on notice.

 

[Eiffel 65]

What the fu**, Liddle.

The question I'd like answered is why Liddle was getting so heavily involved in list management decisions?

 

[GT619]

Wonder what home truths sos said at the meeting

 

[Mr_Plow]

The question I'd like answered is why Liddle was getting so heavily involved in list management decisions?

It's absolutely unacceptable and outside the scope of his role.

Although, I did read a day or two ago that SOS was perhaps more annoyed at the Betts recruitment, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Says absolutely nothing, beyond SOS attending a board meeting.

 

[smashbox gill]

I’m bloody upset that SOS is leaving. We move 2 steps forward only to move a couple steps back due to old habits by leadership.

How can anyone give sos anything but a B+ at the lowest for his work. I’d give him an A+. He has turned the list over in 4 years to have the most potential young list in the comp

 

[Michael Jezz]

Greatest own goal since Harris and Jezza were forced to leave. You can replace bureaucrats(liddle). You can't replace mavericks and entrepreneurs. SoS was 2 steps ahead of any other list manager in the AFL. There is no conflict of interest between a list manager and his sons. One of them clearly has earnt his place and the other is 1 or 2 seasons away from facing the major delisting decision. The father and his sons would have hardly any interaction on a daily basis

 

[Kruezing]

I heard he was leaving next year anyway ...

 

[Bluechip66]

"Liddle was already under pressure after his key commercial appointment failed and lasted less than eight weeks in the job."

Who is this in relation to?

Ian Prendergast

 

[SurreyBlue]

Flowering disgrace. Time for this president, board and management to relinquish its duties. Nothing else to be said.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Ian Prendergast

No its not. Prendergast has been appointed in the last few weeks in a more senior position

 

[Michael Jezz]

I don't think Liddle will last 2 years. It wouldn't surprise me if Sayers is challenged and willingly steps aside for a higher profile president who co opts SoS on the board if SoS goes back to real estate. SoS will now be outside the tent pissing in (....with the Godfather theme playing in the background)

It’s not about Betts. Plenty trying to muddy the water.....

If u read the article that is what was stated

 

[jezzajay]

Article is pure click bait.
Not suggesting SOS isn’t leaving or he and Liddle aren’t at odds, just that it adds nothing I haven’t read elsewhere.
Disappointing situation nonetheless.
