Swans announce new chairman

[Blood Bath]

We have announced a new chairman for next year following Richard Colless' resignation at the end of 2013.

The Sydney Swans Board wishes to announce that current director Andrew Pridham will assume the Chairmanship of the Club when outgoing Chairman Richard Colless steps down at the conclusion of his current term at the Annual General Meeting in February 2014.

Colless announced at the May board meeting that he would not seek re-election beyond his current term. ​

Pridham, 46, has served on the Swans Board for the past 12 years.

We warmly welcome aboard Pridham and wish him well at his new role at the Swans, although he has some big shoes to fill indeed.

I love how we calmly groom people internally and then promote them when required without a shred of fuss.

I get this serene calmness knowing that if this guy got the nod he will be up to the job.

If Colless is OK with him, so am I.

As said above, Mr Pridham has enormous shoes to fill.

The head of investment banking at the New York-based Moelis & Co and the former executive chairman of investment banking at JPMorgan, Andrew Pridham, (although he is better known as the buyer of a dodgy Brett Whiteley piece) has bought a prime piece of Palm Beach real estate opposite Kiddies Corner.

Pridham's block is a subdivision of a larger block that traded in 2008 for $12 million. In October Pridham forked out $4.5 million for the block, upon which Title Deeds assumes he plans to build a weekender for his three kids and his partner, Caroline.

Despite its unfotunate name,Kiddies Corner, is actually named for it being a safe surfing location for young & novice surfer-types....apparently
