Locked in that he rejected North

So we have chased Ben Buckley and Cook who have both rejected us. 7 Months later and still no one of high quality, looks like no one wants the North job.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Brilliant work James.

Cool, now we can go back to thinking he's a total douche

Nice. Think some on hear would have learned a lesson about so-called sources after Caddy, N.Buckley etc.

Missed out again but at least were proactive in hunting a contracted quality administrator (assuming that North did actually do this - understandably haven't heard much from them).

Perhaps this thread might now be titled "******" or "**** ***" Brian ******* Cook?"

How embarrassing

Had a lot of respect for those Cat supporters but f*** em, finished reading through that topic and it's basically became a trollfest. Huge bunch of sooks and hypocrites (did they complain when he left the Eagles for them, doubt it).

For those who haven't been around this hell-hole long, Cats fans circa 2003-2006 were a freaking nightmare. Seems like normal transmission will resume as they go tumbling down the ladder. Caddy, McIntosh, Cook - there is plenty of reasons to go back to hating Geelong. I don't wanna hear anymore of this "Had a lot of respect for Geelong..." rubbish. F*** 'em.

 

[Horace]

Looking forward to our boy Brad Scott brandishing the Premiership Cup in the not too distant future and proclaiming "You were wrong Brian Cook".

 

[GuyIncognito]

Reckon we are a very good shout here.

How close was it? Or are your sources about as reliable as Uncle_Leo's?

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Lol minutes after I posted that too. Very interesting.

JB would want to find someone soon. How many times can we put all our eggs in one basket and end up with nothing?

 

[GuyIncognito]

How embarrassing

Did seem to go all out on this and have failed to land your fish. Is Ben Buckley still on your radar or has he rejected an offer too?

 

[Deleted member 98541]

merge with "bullets dodged in the off season" thread.

 

[MaddAdam]

Very, very close.

Basically same as Buckley situation, you guys had to panic and pay huge amounts more than you wanted to.

That angst should be aimed at the Kangaroo's board rather than at the supporters of the club you tried to poach their contracted CEO from for a rumoured $1m a year.

Look at the bright side Geelong would now have to pay him more, so he just got himself a pay rise, but I suppose the Victorian tax payer will be wearing that, as that's where Geelong get most of their funding.

Oh well, at least you can hang your hat on something but that's how it goes. Probably have been paying Cook unders for a decade now. And besides, we can afford it.

How embarrassing

Yep.
Would be nice if we could actually land someone, on or off the field, that we have been so publicly chasing.

Might as well have a crack at Collingwood's Pert or Carlton's Swann. There are sixteen other clubs and with the money you are throwing around it's worth a shot.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Can we just move on without a CEO and pocket the $1M a year?

No it shouldn't.

 

[Tas]

My concern is our inability to get anything done with it being drawn out in the public spotlight. The first thing Geelong should have heard about it was when he told them he was leaving. This leaky board business gave Geelong the chance to prepare a counter bid.

 

[Event Horizon]

Not great for our image once again. But I refuse to believe we have nobody else on the short list. Would be interesting to see if Cam Vale will now get the job. I'd say he probably will.
