Doesn’t sound that way though. Unless media are just dribbling on...which they can do specially when there is not much else to report on.

The Ellis stuff is a massive wake up call to he is not as great as we apparently thought.

Sos contract ended this year anyway. Maybe there was no tension as suggested

Liddle inviting Ellis to tour the club behind sos’s back is unforgivable. Very unprofessional. I’m shocked that liddle would do something like that as I really had the impression he was very very professional in the way he went about it. I was very impressed by what he has been able to deliver in the short time he has been at the club.
Exactly how I felt. He had not really done anything to raise my eyebrows until I realised there was stuff around our apparent interest in Ellis that did not add up to me around trade weeks. I can only hope Liddle has fully owned his mistake and won't make such mistakes again ( I can forgive if he regrets it in house) but my confidence in him is not the same. But I am finally thankful the club has made an official comment on SOS leaving his role even if it leaves out the tension created over Ellis saga. It is better than nothing that had for a good 3 days of stupid media crap but nothing from our own club. PR staff have written it to be based on SOS removing himself from anything to do with his own sons contracts. Most will buy the whole thing which I can understand if plenty do.
There are significant problems at our football club.
SOS going will ease a few - but we will get worse results because of it.
The way this has been handled is appalling amateurish.

Doesn’t matter. Currently, there is no one better then SOS. People don’t truly understand what he has achieved with the hand he held.
That statement doesn't paint a pretty picture... We can't seem to get anything right.
The statement is symbolic of where the club is at.
What makes people upset is that on field we are on the cusp of something special yet off field - or coach, footy manager, CEO, president, board members can’t get past their own egos.
Thought we might be beyond the Carlton of old but we are setting a new bar of division right now.

Bambi has been shot by the current administration, making it easier for a Presidential change.
I shouldn't really say that I'd be surprised....but I would be surprised should MLG now continue.
He should go and maybe even has to go. It just makes sense.
The members, the power-brokers and everyone in between won't be appeased to see only SOS's head having been lopped off.
Liddle and co can't go, but a presidential change would breathe some new life into this rotting corpse.

Amateurish on all fronts at the moment. That statement is a joke!
It seemed like off field we were hitting aces. The last few months are not painting a pretty picture.

I agree that a presidential change is nigh. MLG has orchestrated what this club has never done.
We need a super strong candidate who can reign in Liddle, it's not just about fresh blood. The candidate must be elite.

The Butler misalignment between Agresta and SOS now makes a bit more sense.
As does the back and forth regarding Ellis - the perception from his manager that we were hot and cold on him.
We clearly had a list manager who wasn't aligned with the other recruiters and football managers/coach. Have to question why Liddle got involved on Ellis without telling SOS? Was he acting for Lloyd/Bolton/Teague, or did he go rogue?
The handling of this still points to mismanagement by MLG, and he should vacate his post in the near future.

i am shocked that MLG didn't intervene. It was an easy decision - SOS or Liddle. Whether or not Liddle can be sacked contractually he could have still been moved aside such that he was not in a position to challenge SOS. Back to gym memberships or secretarial pool is fine by me.
I haven't followed the whole saga so this might not be entirely correct. However, my understanding is that MLG recruited SOS from a safe job at GWS to save Carlton. SOS reported directly to the board through MLG specifically so that their agreed 5-year plan could not be interfered with by others.
Liddle corrupted that agreement and sought to restructure the power structures so that SOS had to report to him. SOS refused to accept this accountability to Liddle and thereby was forced to resign.
Surely in these circumstances it was incumbent on MLG to stand up and reinforce the original agreement. SOS is entitled to be pissed off at being lured from a long term GWS job to be screwed over by his mate and a wannabe exec.
Why wouldn't they?

Is Liddle even a Carlton supporter?
This club will never learn. That statement is so insulting it makes me wonder what they were thinking. How stupid do you think we are? We all know it's not about his sons. I hope the CEO is answering to someone about this, this scalp is on him.
For someone that was leaving anyway in the nearish future it’s actually an indictment because as head of anything you should have a succession plan, seamless transition is the name of the game in any good business.
