All things Peter Jackson

[Tulip]

This is an absolutly terrific appointment. Was always kind of jealous of his passion at Collingwood, meanwhile we had turbulence and infighting year after year. He takes over from PJ with our membership at record highs(yet still well down on where it could be), a team on the cusp of finals, financially dependent and a stable back room. At 53, he could potentially be our CEO for a decade, and if he is, I can absolutely foresee success on and off the field for this club the likes of which we have only dreamt of.

Oh and dont take too much to heart what Collingwood supporters say about his failings, we are quick to forget essendon supporters said similar about Jackson.

Bombers fans were happy to see the back of PJ, described him as a 'bean counter'. I've loved having a CEO who gives nothing away and focusses on his job. Lets hope Pert, like PJ, is a good operator who needed a change of scenery. No shock Jackson is leaving earlier than last time, after the way Bombers fans turned on him. Can't outstay your welcome if you want to be remembered fondly.

I've just loved that we have now got beans to count.

Reckon its an amazing recruitment. Firstly what the **** would pies fans no about their CEO.
Secondly him and Ed turned them into a financial powerhouse. Built the Holden centre and ended up with monster membership numbers.

Also being mates with Paul Roos probably helped

Collingwood fans blame him for Bucks being trash. Never mind their coach, recruitment or continued blame of football managers...

That's not true.

He wasn't well liked because it was rumoured he leaked internal information to the media on a regular basis, he treated supporters like shit and he was the cause for Geoff Walsh leaving initially.

Welcome to Melbourne Gary Pert

As this will be Jackson's last home game, hope the club give him a good send off.

Should be a motorcade around the boundary line, twice!

Isn't he going to be around next year?

With Pert coming in who is a seasoned operator I don't think PJ will continue with us in 2019 like he originally said.

Sucks. He has been brilliant.
