Delisted Former CEO Xavier Campbell - Resigned - 24/8

[Unfazed]

EFC has well and truly lost the plot. Whether it’s the XC email, whether it was directed by Brasher or whether a player couldn’t approach XC to discuss without contacting The Age or their managers. No angle is good.

It says the players contacted the AFLPA. I'm betting that's how The Age were tipped off.

Xavier Campbell: "We didn't get the communication right and we own that. Our intention was to create 'holding position' for the next fortnight.....",
"I'm disappointed the we didn't consult properly and that is our fault..."

He seems to be blaming others for this blunder. Who is he referring to when he states 'we' and 'our'? This to me stinks of a senior manager, trying to cover their own incompetance by blaming people below (or even above) his pay scale.

I get what you're saying but i think if I was a player I'd rather be given the chance to discuss the issue rather than get an email telling me I'd just been docked nearly ten percent of my salary.

Yes obviously

Royal 'we'.

How's the form of sending that email at 8pm on a Friday...

Onto his 2nd bottle of red by then.

After a few reds maybe?

 

[Dave]

Time to go, Xavier. What a shitshow.

 

[yodellinhank]

Have more respect for the guy if he just opened it and didn't backtrack. Whilst pissing the entire playing group off is probably an unpopular strategy, at least it is a strategy.

Show this clown the door ffs. He’s a symptom of everything that’s gone south off field the last 4-5 years. He’s incompetent in his role & if we’re fair dinkum about putting the broom through the joint, this has to be the tipping point surely.

Non binary.

Guys, the important thing to remember is that XC promotes synergy and directs workflow or something

He’ll take a job with the AFL before he’s shown the door.

I guess they were too late to send it during the Melbourne Cup

 

[ghostdog]

Unbelievable. Also, how has this made it to the Age so quickly?

I suspect multiple player managers.

 

[The Prosecutor]

They were waiting to hit send during Trump's concession speech. Guess they realised that wasn't happening any time soon.

More purposeful innovation from Campbell. Is it close enough to this year's review that Brasher can just sweep it under?

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Pure incompetence. The pay cut may be a necessity, the lack of communication via the players and association is in excusable.

Hopefully management is also taking a pay cut, one in ALL in.

I have a feeling that this could have some legs.

 

[andleanback]

It’s time to go XC, absolute laughing stock we are

 

[citizen-erased]

Hopefully he knows what he's doing there

It would appear not

Can we go 5 minutes without embarrassing ourselves

 

[Phone]

ahahahahaha that's terrible. Since the football manager is gone I don't see how anyone gets the pin for this except for Campbell. Truly dire stuff.

as for who leaked it. players, their managers, aflpa sources, etc etc. doesn't matter really. it's such a bat**** insane idea that I doubt anyone kept it to themselves when they found out

Yeah, he was only facilitating operational efficiencies so as to improve the operational framework and drive continued business innovation. And yet people get upset.
