Review of the football department

[The Warlord]

Is one happening? Has it been confirmed?

Thread to add in details as they emerge and are proven.

At this stage there's a tweet by Tom Browne that was, I believe, deleted.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

That bloke on ch7 who always looks like he's constipated was looking very stern the other night when he reported it on the telly. So, either it's true, or he was making it up.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Yeah Tom Browne mentioned it on Talking Footy last night.

Think we should be asking questions why he removed the tweet. Did whoever leak it to him want things to be more ordered/weren't ready?



Sorry for the cynicism, but gee I doubt they'll be independent.

Where’s the It’s Happening gif??

Might be the announcement isn't happening yet.

Also doubt it'll be independent if they're just pretending to seem like something is happening.

Has all the hallmarks of a classic review set up to achieve a pre-determined outcome.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I expect Joyce's preferred candidate hasn't been informed yet.

Removed due to crimes against the English language.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Removed due to crimes against the English language.

Even with that in mind - where is the media release from the club? Transparency? I think as paying members we deserve that at absolute minimum.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I’m fine to wait until hey have a proper announcement - scope, timing, who is doing the review, who they report to, all the relevant details.

 

[The acurate one]

Next!!

It’ll be James Turd

Agree. Let's wait for the proper announcement with all the relevant details - then tear shreds off the club for continuing to stick their heads in the sand.

His Talking Footy piece said the board meeting was next week, where it would presumably be approved. Not sure if true.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Countdown to Joyce sacked

 

[Val Keating]

Just thinking of names.
Does Leigh Matthews still have in in him?

 

[Val Keating]

Still prefer someone from outside the footy bubble though. How much would it cost to get someone over from the one of the elite US sports systems to conduct the audit? Too much?

 

[The acurate one]

Countdown to Joyce sacked

Yeah cannot see him surviving, someone of note will have to pay and I'm ok with him going.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Countdown to Joyce sacked

Everyone blaming Joyce is missing the point. It's much more systemic than *one culprit*.

If everyone has this thinking, they can pull a massive fast one on everyone.

BFNAAK.

Got a relationship with Scott

 

[Billy Not Really]

BFNAAK.

Too much conflict of interest already.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Seems to me that what the club needs to find is somebody who:

a) Has impeccable and up-to-date knowledge about the football industry
b) Understands the importance of 'soft skills' in conducting a thorough, department-wide review
c) Possesses experience in change management and consultancy
d) Is guaranteed to place the the blame squarely at the feet of Brads Scotts

The only question is where to find such a person. Is there a section on gumtree for this kind of thing? If not, there should be.

 

[Val Keating]

BFNAAK.

Didn’t know that.

Got a relationship with Scott

That’s ok. He’s pretty ruthless. Probably would’nt want it anyway.

 

[Val Keating]

Yeah cannot see him surviving, someone of note will have to pay and I'm ok with him going.

Next minute, Will Minson
