It's not costing us anything because no one is stumping up any monies for it and we don't have the funds.
KT can resign as CEO of Port Adelaide Football Club and go and become the CEO of the Power Community Limited corporation and go and raise the funds needed to build it if he thinks its that important.
KT would be very good in this field. He is passionate about the community/indigenous programs and has the expertise/idea/spin to start the journey and the execution to secure far greater grants to make this department viable.
The China is all too optimistic, we have been hearing since 2016 we have are on the cusp of some big heavyweights that would make Renault the local coffee shop then going from another big fish to another. A lot of changes in the Corporate dept and emphasis on China I think has been to overwhelming for Keith which has impacted the day to day operations and staff engagement.
I’d like to see the old KT back who was a straight shooter, was hands-on at the Club on top of all departments, involved in Footy and integrated with the members.
It is promising to hear he has been getting over to the Community Club a bit more often but he looks like he aged a decade in 3 years.
I think the moment in 2014 when the Kerwin Rae type guy told him the Kodak biz story at a development session. It scared the bejesus out of him. He become A man on a mission and wanted to break the status quo. Although our the new and current was performing well we had to be different and in came new recruiting on and off field, buy the best sales exec even if from interstate, bring in more staff, staff from big companies, big budgets, bigger expenditure, China, China, China.
I guess it was part of being brave and bold when in reality we are just a like old Club from Alberton.
On other -
I think he knows all his mistakes and has put up responsibility.
That was very brave of him to take ownership and he does have experience getting us out of this situation.
He could still be the man, he just needs to be a bit more honest and speak from the heart not worry about how he is being perceived. Open up all current problems and financials, it is best that it comes from Keith before the media as the fans although not happy will have the respect we didn’t sweep or spin it. Our people are the strongest asset and will back each other to the hilt including the Club when times are tough, they won’t back each other and the Club when we get spin and not the true facts of our financials each year.
If the players have been notified last week about rolling over and how would it go down amongst a couple of player in a similar position I surely hope the Club are utilitising our Board Financial gurus to be auditing this on a monthly basis. 2016 wasn’t disastrous as it is now with similar crowds/members so what has made it get to this point.
I’d love/or someone else to go through that expense list with a fine tooth comb as the Club doesn’t have that skill set.
Could Kochies program his new show at Alberto. And organise 70 staff down to watch Kochies Couples TV show where he promises to Save $10,000 in 20 days.
All proceeds go to Ken for next years pay.
Jokes aside, if the Club did come out with the last 2 years financials detailed not summary) let us know how bad we are going and a strategy for the next two years that was set high but not ridiculous. If we had the odd shortfall but you were engaging fans and members, the fans will be backing out Club leaders to the hilt.
For so long we have become just Members Mushrooms and fed bullshit.
The more the club cuts itself off from the Club the revenue stops. Soon it will be admin staff not being paid money and you can’t keep running on 90 day accounts.
Good luck Keith’, make the right calls!
Hope KT reads -
Get yourself back into the loving your job again, forget about the big pipe dreams and be the leader you can be, you will control the situation and not it controlling you.
P.S Someone has a crack at you in the Boardroom next, get up and stand up tall, look them in the eye, think of your worst dayand swallow it then let out what is on your mind.
