[Mr_Moogle]

Was it Mutineer who said Saunders was the "shining light" of our fitness department. lol.

God help us now if he was......

Yes it was, and he's not been the problem, his jobs been fixing what Haas has ****ed up.

This is concerning given Hass still has his job. I don't expect that will remain the case though.

So apparently this is not a replacement for Harper, but a consolidated role due to the Football Operation Coordinator and the Football Operations Assistant retiring.

 

[DJ75]

I'd love to know just how many staff we actually have. Feels a bit like the AFL organisation - far too many snouts in the trough making themselves look busy.

Worth remembering we did sack a fair few.

Balme was never going to be reporting to Kelly. I thought Smart was our operations manager.

Can we get rid of this moron as well, please.

 

[hey shorty]

The timing would be just right.

 

[King Elvis]

Thank fu** Saunders is gone, another part of the Burton bullshit getting the clear out.

Saunders and Kangatech have been as damaging to this club as collective minds so glad to see us put it behind us.

I agree with you on most things mate, but you’re way off the mark here.

So wait. We previously had all of:

Director of Football
Head of Football
GM Football Operations
Football Operation Coordinator
Football Operations Assistant

That's a fair few upper managers involved with a department that was utter s**t for the last 3 years

My experience is that having too many managers compared to employees correlates quite strongly with being s**t. Weather that is a cause of the shitness or just another symptom I'm not sure, I suspect a little of both.

In my limited experience it's easy for companies to get bloated with middle management, especially when things are going poorly.

No wonder we had to have a bargain basement coaching department.

They're just shifting Smart into a non football role, where he can look after an esports division with 0 realistic expectation of it ever being profitable.

It’s what happens when you have poor existing upper/middle management. You end up promoting people into new positions to cover those currently not coping in the role.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Bit harsh. I try my best.

 

[footy4ever]

Someone mentioned the other day that Balme to Adelaide wasn't happening.

What a shock.

 

[CrowBloke]

Actually, Smarty is a smartie, literally; extremely intelligent and has an MBA.
I'm not saying he's done a great job, in fact I just don't know, but "moron", he ain't.

Only poor senior managers do this. That's where the problem is, they are the ones setting the org structure and recruiting

 

[hey shorty]

What a shock.

Sounds like he agreed to terms but had a serious medical issue.

You don't need to be that smart to have a MBA, just be dedicated to the study.

Does an MBA have a module on switching to your burner account when trying to flirt with girls half your age on twitter?

 

[hey shorty]

footy4ever don't believe it ??

Balme? I thought you were stooging around implying we were looking at him as a player.
