Andrew Fagan to resign as CEO -> new CEO search

[Bay62]

Also wonder if they'll try and get Peter Carey or Paul Di Iulio in since they asked them about the Chairman roles and both have CEO roles elsewhere.

Carey is chairman down the Bay, not CEO

 

[Bay62]

Trigg back

Has some unfinished business

Good lord. How do we get a mod suspended for life??

 

[Peter Doherty]

Serious amount of change at

Or anyone that would immediately hire a spouse, family member or close friend into a paid role at the club

Wasn't Daniel Jackson also one of these appointments? A friend of a friend.

 

[MRB37]

Now that would be a genuinely concerning appointment.

He got his post-playing in Business Administration and Management and has a Bachelor in Commence, so I guess would have the training to be a CEO one-day, but wouldn't imagine he'd jump straight into that role?

A wooden spoon year is a good time to take over a club

 

[MRB37]

Carey is chairman down the Bay, not CEO

I know, but he's spent time as CEO at the Youth Opportunities Association, so has experience in the role.

In unrelated news, Darren Glass re-signed from WC list manager position today...

1+1=....

Glass to list manager

Reid to CEO

 

[hey shorty]

It was the only time any of them were going to leave.

Craig Vozzo please, and he can bring Darren Glass with him

 

[MRB37]

Glass to list manager

Reid to CEO

Or Kelly to CEO, Glass as head of football?

 

[hey shorty]

Glass to list manager

Reid to CEO

God no.

The 2nd bit anyway

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Darren Birch would be a great get

Me thinks young Fages lost his protective security blanket when old Chappy boy left.

No doubt Olsen asked Fages to be more focussed on the football side of the business, something he is not comfortable with. Prefers to be a bean counter in the background.

For me, his legacy won’t be about how he handled Phil’s passing. He was spineless and absent as our club was dragged through the mud throughout 2018 and 2019, much like his good mate Chappy. Watching him do sweet FA as he stood by and let others take the blame for the implosion is how I will remember his time here.

This is not a resignation/transition, it’s a firing.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

No wonder we haven't heard from him for ages. Less and less over the last 12 months or longer. Has obviously been brewing for a while.

 

[Mego Red]

When he was appointed, I had so much optimism

He's mostly done a good job. Perhaps been out of his depth the last two years, or he didn't have another big push in him after 5 years.

It's certainly time.

Adelaide CEO Andrew Fagan has announced he will transition out of his role as the Club embarks upon a new strategic agenda.


so what is this new Strategic agenda ?

Winning.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder how enamoured our new guy will be with baseball, e-sports and whatever other side hustles we have going on

 

[MRB37]

He did what Chapman wanted, which was to make the club bigger $ wise, but it came at the cost of the core product. Need to get back to focus on the most important thing, so hopefully whoever they hire does have a football background, so we don't fall into the same mistakes.

A wooden spoon year is a good time to take over a club

That's actually very true. Best time to start is when there's already a bit of momentum that you can harness and amplify, and get things rapidly improving.

 

[Murray2503]

Hallelujah. Riccuito, Reid and Hass next and the cleanse of incompetents will be complete.

 

[King Elvis]

Here is my one hard rule we should use when interviewing - If you use the word 'learnings' then you are immediately thrown out.
That should weed out 90% of the tools who think they are smarter than they actually are.

“optics”

 

[Mego Red]

Yeah. The main thing I believe is he offered to go a year ago. He's been only just present since then.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will his wife still do the Crows tv show?

Or were their two roles linked in some way?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The transition out started 12 months ago... but the club kept it to themselves. .

Walker is one of the biggest victims of this (aside from the organisation as a whole - the main victim), his reputation and standing in the game has been absolutely destroyed due to being one of the only ones who had the balls to constantly front up when we were at our lowest position.

Chapman and Fagan were both absolutely pathetic whenever the going got tough.
