The Next CEO?

[Bacon8]

Given the desire to remove Trigg by this board, I'm curious to hear some suggestions from people to who they believe would be a good CEO for the AFC.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would love to get Brian Cooke.

Would be good, but he is more likely to either stay at Geelong or retire

Nige obviously has a foot in the door, whether that is good or not I dont know, has no-nonsence approach but not sure of his business acumen. We should also approach Keith Thomas, as for others, no idea

Very difficult question as prospective CEOs rarely have a massive media profile and thus the average punter has little idea who's out there, I do know however that there was a few candidates lining up for Triggys job 12 months ago and Triggys probably lucky he had the SANFL and Chapman onside. I have certainly been led to believe that he certainly didn't have the full support of the board, only those that mattered.

Are you aware of who these candidates were? Would you have thought they could do a good job? (Obviously without saying who they are).

I think it's easy to have pop shots from the stands saying to dismiss him, but now the time has passed that to do it now would require a target lined up. And if people can't offer suggestions, then how do they know they'd be better at the job?

I wonder if Ray Gunston would be interested after his stint at Essendon is done? Just for the irony of Jack's mum moving to Adelaide.

 

[craig crowing]

No names but a tough businessman with no connection to Crows is needed .
Could steal Keith Thomas from Port if want a current footy CEO.

I wouldn't be an advocate of poaching KT.

Port fans are trouble enough when they think we've copied their guernsey.

Yep, apparently Port invented the 'Big V' guernsey. They live in la la land down there.

 

[jackster83]

ClayMonk should put his hand up.

 

[Coopers]

Ziggy Zikowski?

 

[CONCRETE CAL]

My dream ambition is to become a CEO of a football club, bit unrelated and you blokes probably don't care but currently studying business and economics to become apart of an AFL club business sector. Look out for the name Callum Burman in the next 10-20 years.

This is awkward. I always read you name as Concrete GAL.



Good luck chasing your dream

Stickied. If you're a good poster we'll all vote for you in 20 years time when we become a member vote club.

Also, Wayne Jackson - idea from Geoffa32 many moons ago

 

[Sekaj]

I would suggest someone with a solid background in teaching PE.

Does AIOF teach PE?

 

[DJ75]

Trigg's football background* came from being Master in Charge of Football at St. Peter's College.
So probably whoever does that job now.






*yes I know about his playing days as well

 

[CONCRETE CAL]

What the club needs is a CEO who has the members the players and the club at heart and that is clean and honest about their work. Financially adelaide is a strong one in history. Adelaide Oval was a start of a new era but I cant help but think that Trigg hasnt paid enough attention to the members. Maybe we need someone of a younger age that is all for the fans and that is a wizard with economics.

So what you have no idea saying is you have no solution, you just like bagging him.

I thought about him, but hasn't he retired to his farm?

 

[knobby]

What are peoples thoughts on Chris Davies (too SANFL ??)

what i am saying is that it does not matter who takes over because a blind, deaf, dumb mute man in a monkey suit could do a better job.

Carl Spackler.

Not sure about the clean part though.

 

[hugecannon]

Don't mind this, he definitely is moving up the ladder quickly.

How about Brian Cunningham?
