Opinion Stephen Silvagni

[Blue__Balls]

Doesn't seem the sort to make an idle threat, in my uninformed opinion.

Not necessarily saying it's idle - he may have the full intention of following through depending on what eventuates, but there may be a bit of design to it.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Nice fence sitters view of the world. "Don"t get me wrong SOS is good. I rate him highly.....but let's roll with the punches". Also as far as positive evidence goes, all indications are in the right direction. It is 2 years too early to really tell which makes it pretty convenient for bureaucrats to get rid of him. Melbourne never recovered when Norm Smith and Barrassi left. You keep high performing favourite sons

Fence sitting is great, especially when you're an outsider with less than 10% of the relevant information. I find those who swing fully one way or the other in these scenarios to be rather amusing.

Get rid of Liddle and Perhaps Lloyd. Absolute disgrace. MLG needs to step up.

Or step down.

 

[cisco82]

Damn , SoS leaving could be very dangerous.
Especially if he ends up at say the Dockers , he could come for our WA talent and pick us apart.

Love him to stay but seems to be goneski..

 

[juzza316]

haha I love SOS like a god, but there are some real SOS coloured glasses in here....

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Or step down.

Or step off.

 

[HBF]

The Prez ain’t happy believe you me

Surely MLG just had to show Liddle what he was hired for, and this has to be his first priority.
As I said earlier, leave SOS to do what he does best and Liddle can do what he does best.

 

[tencentpiece]

Liddle is a genuine clown, focus on your own job not list management decisions.

 

[smashbox gill]

Liddle has done excellent improving our membership and everything else, but we are coming regardless any CEO just needs to half competent to be successful.

List management and on field is still a work in progress. SOS is more important

Give Liddle Barry Mitchells old office in the outer.

Liddle isn't the clown if he's been given free reign.....well he is, but nevertheless..

Tell me how the President hasn't stepped in and laid down the law?
How can the President not do this and garner respect for him doing so by one and all, instead of allowing it to fester and what...not be happy? Crazy

 

[smashbox gill]

Yeah I don’t understand how if the president was getting involved, that sos was still overruled with the Deluca selection?

Well - Caro, Jon Ralph and Tom Browne must be rubbing their hands with glee based on the melts going on here and at the club.

Good old Carlton factions again.

What next ? - an extraordinary meeting at the Town Hall.

Article in the Herald Sun suggests that Liddle had Ellis and Papley tour IKON park without consulting list management.

 

[Pafloyul]

I hate there been so much shit posted here recently that so many rolls of it needed.

Not doubting that, it's just that I'd rather not be left with the image...

 

[tattooedJESUS]

Club slowly starts to get it together... oh wait better fall apart again!

 

[GT619]

All this stinks

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Problem needs to be fixed. So, hypothetical, SOS departs, we hire "x", the best list manager in the world and Liddle tours the park with player "y" without the list managers knowledge and around we go again.

I don't see anything wrong with Liddle or Lloyd going to the list manager and saying they have ties to such and such, what's your thoughts, but to take someone through and give them the sense of "we will make you an offer" as was done to Ellis, is just wrong on so many levels.

To be honest, I find it hard to believe that claim - that Ellis and Papley were toured around Princes park literally without SOS having any knowledge.

It just doesn't add up.

What's he doing about it?

 

[El Topo]

Interesting united message from the ITKs - even if the Board are all on the same page, it may be too Liddle too late.

Nothing to do with SOS coloured glasses. If the CEO has made list management decisions then questions need to asked. That is not his job. The president needs to step up.

Nice pun.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Can someone summarise the allegations against Liddle? What list management decisions were alledgedly interfered with?
