Yeah would be good if he could hang around. There's some s**t to deal with.The club would have gone broke if it wasn’t for him. They were pretty much there when he came in. If it wasn’t for cooky asking ford to provide 2 years sponsorship up front, and for bendigo bank to help out/provide concessions in regard to our debts, then it probably would have been all over. Then he had to rebuild the finances from there.
Should build a statue out the front of KP of him.
But yeah, he has said he still hasn’t decided what he will do next year though. Sounds like even if he does step aside, he will still provide guidance to whomever his successor is.

Out of pokies now, new stand, the whole Corona thing now probably means a sizeable debt and who knows how we'll go with home games next year and beyond considering we all go bonkers over one single covid case.
The new guy or girl will have a bit on their plate.
The club making overtures to keep him, presumably in a consultancy role, is the positive. Doubt he'll take-up any role with another AFL club. A former great Cat businessman with whom he was very close was very good to him and would turn over in his grave if the great man defected.Sorry. After ACTUALLY reading the article, he's still gonna hopefully hang around and get paid.
So we're probably not losing him.
But stepping aside as the CEO.

Might be wrong there however

I get being ambitious, but surely this is a bridge way too far? I’d actually expect memberships to take a sharp drop this year. Due to covid restrictions. And might be a struggle to bring them back further down the track.100,000 members: ambitious target for Cats as new president takes over

Possibly is, but I remember Brendan Gale making similar statements several years ago that everyone scoffed at.... Seem to turn out pretty well for them. Hope we can do the same success as they have had.I get being ambitious, but surely this is a bridge way too far? I’d actually expect memberships to take a sharp drop this year.

I thought that. Considering our ground will only hold around 40k, that's a lot of non game attending members.I get being ambitious, but surely this is a bridge way too far?

Ambition i get... bridge completely too far and a little tone deaf in these times.I get being ambitious, but surely this is a bridge way too far?

He one of the best 'sports' jobs in Australia. And he has been the CEO of an AFL team. Funnily enough Cook was tipped to be the MCC CEO because he was the best. Fox pipped him well and truly.Stuart Fox was the person originally groomed to take over - would we want him now and would he be interested?
I actually like this attitude.Ambition i get... bridge completely too far and a little tone deaf in these times.

Fair enough. I remember the last time we set lofty goals was around when Bomber started.I actually like this attitude.
One issue I have with Geelong is the language they use is often so shy. I remember Buckley telling Collingwood last year in one of their behind the scenes videos, "We're going to beat the Eagles in this elimination final," and I laughed but they actually did it. In comparison I have noticed both Scotty and Selwood using timid language around finals for years now. I mean, I could never see Geelong putting a video up where Scotty says, "Right, boys, we're going to beat Richmond this final." But that is what the Pies did. It's all kumbaya from Scotty and Sels and the club. I'd love the club to drop the inoffensive politician-like talk and use some edgy, ambitious language. Geelong is almost too classy for its own good. I want a bit more mongrel both on field and off.
It reminds me of what Conor McGregor did at the height of his powers. Here is a short video on Conor McGregor where he talks about the need to be vocal about your dreams. Also, I saw someone mention Brendan Gale and his famous comments about premierships and membership. Look at the Tigers now. Gale had to come out and defend his comments, but the joke was on all of us sadly.
If you cannot do something as simple as say what you want out loud, how can you expect it to come true? It's something I am putting to use in my own life now - speaking out loud my goals. I do see why people don't like this sort of thing, but hopefully I have articulated why I like it.
