New CEO

[The Night Shift]

So we are going to have a new CEO....
How long this will take?
I'm not up to speed on the suitable candidates, Anyone have any ideas who may get a look in on this position??
Does anyone have a person in mind they would like to see take the position?

Schwab doesn'd officially finish up tll 30th Oct (that's after trade week people ), so you'd think they'll take their time to find the best candidate and not rush any decision. I'd expect that Wesfarmers bloke to have a fair say in who gets the nod.

 

[Freo Shark]

We'll explore externally extensively. But looking internally there's probably 2 or 3 potential candidates, namely

Chief Operating Officer: Gary Walton
GM - Football Operations: Robert Shaw
GM - Commercial Operations: Steve Rosich

We need a CEO with extensive financial experience and football experience. A background in marketing and sponsorship. Obviously someone who can keep the druggies up the road honest in this town. If hes a Perth boy and has the network thats a bonus too.

Brian Cook

One of Australia's most respected sporting administrators, Geelong chief executive Brian Cook took up the post in March 1999.

During his tenure, Cook has over hauled the club's business operations and has overseen a dramatic transformation in the club's finances, leading the club back to financial well being, leading to the 2007 AFL premiership.

Under Cook's management the club has reduced its interest bearing debt from $7 million and has been responsible for a raft of new corporate partners. He recommended Mark Thompson as senior coach at the end of 1999 and has seen Thompson blossom into one of the league's brightest young coaches while over hauling the playing list.

Cook has brought a wealth of football knowledge to the Cats, having built the West Coast Eagles into Australia's pre-eminent sporting club during the 1990’s. He also brings experience from inside the white lines, having played with Hawthorn and Melbourne in the 1970's and with Subiaco and East Perth.

Cook played four games with Melbourne in 1977 after crossing from Hawthorn where he played 45 games in the reserves. He also played in the VFA with Box Hill and Caulfield. Cook moved west to pursue a Master of Education at the University of Western Australia and continued his playing career with Subiaco and East Perth. He guided East Perth to the WAFL reserves premiership as coach and was senior coach at Ainslie in the ACTFL in 1986.

After retiring as a player, Cook moved to Canberra and took up the post of National Sports Research Coordinator with the Australian Sports Commission before returning to Western Australia where he helped shape over a decade of football dominance.

Cook spent two years as the general manager of the Western Australian Football Development Trust and a further two years as CEO of the Western Australian Football Commission before taking over the reigns of the West Coast Eagles in 1990. Under Cook's stewardship the Eagles were transformed into a club that was envied both on and off the field throughout the AFL.

During his nine years as chief executive, the Eagles quadrupled their membership and increased revenue three fold. Under his leadership West Coast won 143 of 219 games, including the 1992 and 1994 AFL grand finals. The 1992 Eagles were the first non-Victorian club to claim the AFL premiership.

Any takers here?

This one could be available,
Freo and West Coast could really end up going to war.

I don't want anybody who has had anything to do with West Coast running our club.
