Stuart Fox new MFC CEO?

[deedog2]

Hey guys,

There is a rumour doing the rounds that Stuart Fox's appointment to the Melbourne Football Club's CEO position is imminent. If this does come to fruition would this be a good pick up for our club? What can you tell us about the man?

Cheers.

Would be a very very sound get. According to Cookey and Frank was going to be our next CEO when Cookey moved on.

Will step into the roll well and considering the friendship he has with our board i would assume he will get a lot of advice of them when needed.

A while back I would have been disappointed to lose him, but now he is free to go...in fact I hope he goes.

He has done some good things for this club, but he is simply a pig-headed person who cannot accept criticism and treats fans with contempt if they don't agree with his views.

He labelled Geelong fans who complained about our new logo, "whinging school girls".

This is a post of his from Cats Claw (under the alias 'Trekking Fox' when people were complaining about the 2008 Members Cap)

Must say, I'm with you Purring. It's like when the new logos came out. Pack of whining schoolgirls you are! You should be more worried that your team is performing as it should on the field.....no complaints there. Pretty petty stuff.

If it's about the marketing / branding of the club, then GFC have got it right. This is the philosophy of the club moving forward...."Footy Full On". It has been said by coach, captain etc that the premisership of 2007 has been celebrated long and hard but the club has moved on from there. So the cap is a symbol of the new GFC branding and philosophy. Get a premiership cap if you want to be reminded of it.

As for 2008, it's Footy Full On!

For mine he has the stance of 'It's my club and I'll do what I damn well want'. It's a dangerous attitude when you refuse to listen to what your Members want.

He did do some good work at Geelong. He was a major player in getting our redevelopment done and the new Club Cats facility at Point Cook, but I am worried about his lack of regard for fans opinions and the way he responded when they dare to disagree with something the club has done.

Your wish wasn't granted.
Paul McNamee got the job.
He's staying.
As far as I'm concerned, he continues being productive in the role he's at the club for (which he has been) then I see no reason to get rid of him...

From that quote he sounds like a pompous ass, but I suppose it may be out of context.

Sorry to disappoint ......but I can say with unequivocal authority that "Trekking Fox" is not , nor ever has been our Stuart Fox.

And ... from my experiences Stuart does a pretty good job in his role at GFC

Surely you don't actually believe Trekking Fox is Stuart Fox.Why would an official post on CC and use their own surname ?

P.S I believe The General wasn't really a General.He only reached the rank of Corporal

OK, maybe I have been a touch harsh on Stuart then if Trekking isn't actually Stuart.

However, I think it's clear from his/her posts that it is some sort of club official and for that to come from any club official, be it CEO or Receptionist is very poor.

Lucky I'm not an official

I was wondering why there were no listings under Jubjub in the white pages.
