They haven't even started the process. Haven't called in HR consultants, done job descriptions etc. The majority of the board wont do anything until the season starts up again and has a stability wait and see, don't rock the boat mantra.
I've been on record, that in a normal world you do a world wide search, get big recruiters like Egon Zender on board to do the search, not just SA specialists Hender Consulting. But forget an international candidate, the borders will be closed for 6 more months to international travellers who aren't Oz citizens/residents and aren't exempt workers. The best Oz candidate isn't going to leave a secure position when nobody knows when the full time salary can be offered again. Just promote Matthew Richardson. He hasn't been 2IC for 3 years to stay there 10 more years. Give him a 3 year contract. If Richo doesn't get the job, he probably walks so more corporate amnesia at the club, and we have seen the last decade or so the problems that generates. Give Chris Davies a greater role, football + extra admin stuff.
Spot onWe don't need a lame duck CEO to hang around. We need someone prepared to take tough decisions and implement them thru to the end.
Kevin Scarce is free.Spot on
Who would be the best CEO successor to Casual- George Fiacchi, Roger Delaney or Bruce Abernethy?
All business guys and love the Magpies. Or do we need to think differently?

Maybe the best approach given the current situation would be to have Richo as acting CEO until a proper recruitment process can be run. Richo should be able to apply of course.I'd be happy with Matthew Richardson considering the lack of international candidates.
The cynic in me has a sneaking suspicion KT has offered to stay on due to a lack of offers for his services elsewhere, but be that as it may I can't see the point in keeping a `lame duck' ceo (thankyou REH) any longer than his original departure date.
I agree with those who have suggested giving Richo a try in an acting capacity to see if he is up to it.

Because we're forced to compete with the teams that make 10s of millions of dollars of profit after they pay for everything.KT did not step in to a basket case. The Adelaide oval deal was already brokered, the plans for a sustainable future were in place, the one club movement was in full swing. Our membership numbers are pretty bloody good. I'd like to know why we are in so much debt when we generate a fair amount of income each year. Coupled with the Hinkley extension, i think he's done a less than average job.
...and forced to compete with clubs that aren't being bled dry to prop up a state league. The Crow and Port bankroll the SANFL.Because we're forced to compete with the teams that make 10s of millions of dollars of profit after they pay for everything.
We barely scratch a profit without fudging numbers.
Having one of the worst stadium deals in the country for a start, like needing to draw in 35k to break even...KT did not step in to a basket case.

I disagree - our reputation at the time (whatever anyone supporting the club or otherwise thinks) was that it was a basketcase, and reputation matters.KT did not step in to a basket case.

The bold bit isn't accurate, if you mean the deal the club received from Adelaide Oval. KT came onboard officially either the Monday before or the Monday after the AO game against Melbourne on 4th September 2011.KT did not step in to a basket case.

Rann announced that the SACA and SANFL would explore an AO proposal in December 2009 to neutralize it as an election issue for the March 2010 election. The 2 parties had to agree to basic term and conditions by August 2010, which they did. So AO was given the big go ahead in August 2010 when an agreement was signed.
The basic financial modelling was done by August 2010, but all parties kept on negotiating it and a deal with the 2 AFL clubs wasn't finalized until a few days before the first game in late March 2014.
The second bold bit has two answers. Firstly we would have a better idea if the club didn't piss its pants and produced fuller financial results for members like the Vic clubs do. Port like to argue it is more like a Vic club than the manufactured non Vic clubs, but the surrent leadership doesn't give its members full disclosure like Vic clubs.
Secondly the club generates a lot of revenue with virtually no net margin. Probably $12 million with maybe $750k profit in 2019. $3m community programs from government and corporate grants which are fully expended. Our 2 venues generate $7m in revenue and only make about $300k profit because unlike Qld where max pokie bet is $100 and Vic pokies is $20 or $50 whereas SA is only coins. Then there is China. The game costs about $5m to put on and its break even. So as its a JV with the AFL, $2.5m of revenue and expenses go thru our books. Supposedly we made a $400k profit out of China in 2019 but it was from around the game.
Take out that $12mil from our revenue total and we are in line with the smaller Vic clubs, a bit more but not a lot more. But those smaller clubs get between $3mil and $6mil more than us from the AFL and that has no cash expenses associated with that extra AFL distribution.
If it was simple, it would have been done by now.Is there a simple way to argue the case for more money from game day, less to others and more to us, this whole issue has surely been exposed from recent events.
Have been thinking if Port said stuff Adelaide oval and played several games at Alberton. Members fees adjusted for same. Would Port loose any money doing this. All monies would go to Port, fees for the game and all catering. In other words only sign up for 9 games at Adelaide Oval when spectators are allowed back ... just a thought ..If it was simple, it would have been done by now.
