Has told people at the club that it’s his last year in the role.

Why would he even bother to stick around for 2025 then?

If you have a set exit date on your role, you’ve checked out. I held the same view with Brian Cook.

Shits me when people do this.

Awesome! Only five years too long in the job.

 

[teknodeejay]

He should have gone end of last year allowing the club to find a replacement for this

Now he’s dead weight

These types become an annoyance in their “exit phase” in corporate worlds and I can’t see why that would change when he’s been overdue to go in his role at the club

 

[beowulf]

Very interested to see who we've got lined up for the job. Could make a difference.

Without asking you your own job history, I can quite happily say that I've never dropped off at any job I've had because I'd handed in my resignation. There's such a thing as professionalism and wanting to remain in good standing with your employers, because you want a job and/or a good reference in future.

It also clears the deck for Wright to do what he might need to do in the football department without preconceptions. Dunno why you'd view it as a bad thing; if there's a decent candidate during the year, we can just part ways and go in early. There's no real downside.

Get it in writing …

Sooner the better. Should have been first out the door in Sayer's review

 

[RPCB]

Should be fun when we replace Brad Lloyd… with Cain Liddle.

It also gives Wright the opportunity to contract someone to evaluate and sound out people from other clubs football departments knowing that come the end of the year, we will have a candidate in mind and would have potentially interviewed them during the course of the year.

Yep. Do we want a managed transition to a preferred candidate or a messy sacking and media cycle?

Someone at the club needs to tell him this is his last year at the club.

[BlueBlood15]

How he survived the 2021 review still boggles my mind.

Finding: most aspects of the football department had issues.

Outcome: retain the person ultimately responsible for all aspects of the football department.

His departure is at least 4 wasted years overdue.

I don't think I've ever come across anyone that has resigned and their performance has maintained or grown before they depart. However, I'll rephrase my opinion to be based around employment at an AFL club.

How many of your jobs were in a high performance industry? Where the success of your role is purely determined by the actions of elite athletes striving to be the best in the country/world at what they do? Where nothing but excellence and perfection is demanded whilst there's 24/7 media coverage around you?

There's such a thing as professionalism and wanting to remain in good standing with your employers, because you want a job and/or a good reference in future.

If Carlton Football Club is to win, to be the best club in the most popular & competitive sport in Australia, our key figures need to be all in. Genuinely passionate and driven to achieve, not there to maintain their personal brand & be 'professional' (aka doing the bare minimum).

Downside is, (if true) our head of football has known for some time this is his last year, and I have zero faith his care factor and drive would be at its peak - when we desperately need it to be.

People think football clubs are just businesses these days - they're not. They're full of emotion, history and in the end, are completely dictated by 22 people running around chasing a ball. They have 17 competitors whom almost all operate off the same budget, you can't have key roles (head of football) not all in, during our most important year in a long time.

I think this is rather cynical.

None, but this has the opposite effect than you'd think it would.

Increased scrutiny compells higher performance. Or resentment, but when you take a significant high scrutiny post you know what you're getting.

This feels like a personal gripe about the word 'professional' than anything else.

Sorry, do we know that?

... this is silly.

This was mentioned before Christmas wasn't it? Around the time of Wright arriving?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Re above ^^

Lloyd wont be at club at end of 2025. Both parties agree time for change in that role.
Timing with wright being managed

 

[katmanblue]

Sooner the better. Should have been first out the door in Sayer's review

He had the photos....maybe the Sayers photo was released when he was told it'll be his last year...
