Andrew Fagan to resign as CEO -> new CEO search

[Pugsley]

It's should be a proper process, so however long we feel it needs to be to find the right bloke.

It'll be done in April at the latest IMO.

Just not on the 1st of April.

Bloke?

Would be great if we got Vozzo.

Not ideal for WC at the start of their season. Especially if its COVID affected and dealing with their premier.

 

[hey shorty]

C7 mentioned last night that Fagan has left the building.

Suggests we are pretty close to finding his replacement. They suggested the COO from Hawthorn was the favourite.

No handover, not even a named replacement?

this was not an amicable split

 

[hey shorty]

Been at Hawthorn for 17 years in a variety of roles, sounds like a well rounded candidate from a very well run organisation.

Would like to know how involved in football matters he wants to be.

5 days and he puts next to his job title ???

 

[hey shorty]

Yeah I've never really understood the absolute need to do it.

You're not a real Harvard graduate.

my objection is how prominently he’s featuring it.

might as well tout your Hollywood experience from that universal studios tour you took last summer

 

[hey shorty]

Agreed.

I mean on face value he's got a lot we want. Worked at Hawthorn who were a bit of a basket case when he arrived, to where they are now as a financial power.

Of course I'm not suggesting he was the driving force, but it's important to have guys from successful environments in important positions.

The "need" is driven by an inferiority complex.

Also, I'm put off by thinking of Sgt. Bilko (Phil Silvers) when I look at the name.

 

[hey shorty]

I'd like to know just how important he was in the financial transformation.

I mean winning games of footy is your best way of increasing revenue IMO.

i had the same Bilko thought and assumed it was just me!

 

[Sanders]

I think we need someone who understands footy, not a bland, purely admin type

and certainly not someone who thinks a 5 day course he took 8 years ago is the pinnacle

we must be able to do better than that

 

[hey shorty]

If he's indeed a bland admin type then yeah he's best served elsewhere. Luckily C7 don't tend to get much right.

 

[WeeBlake]

you’d have to be an absolute dill these days to call yourself a manager instead of a leader

 

[Slippery Pete]

If you don’t understand Adelaide culturally (both the city and the club) you will fail at this job.

In his defence, LinkedIn does stupid things like that, depending what order you put in your experience and what boxes you have ticked.

It could have been an accident that he just thought looked good, or hasn't even noticed.

Certainly, and that narrows it down a hell of a lot.

Has done a mountain of work with the new KCC site at Hawthorn and would be well placed to help us on that front with our search for a new home.

Didn’t notice after 8 years?

besides mentioning at all is pretty tool-ish. A 5 day course, what next that hour long lunch and learn session on diversity that HR made everyone do Tuesday before last?

if that was something we rated really highly we could have stuck with Fagan. He’s done that before
