Official Club Stuff BREAKING: Luke Sayers steps down effective immediately (Jan 22nd)!

[JustaBattler]

Yeah...nah...

Blithely accepting the actions leading up to the PWC fiasco as 'the way things are done' sounds very Carlton of old. You can't have part time integrity.

Most of the things highlighted above were well in motion in LoGiudice's time.

Understanding or knowing isn't "acceptance" ...

Dont know what 'old Carlton' was - made a lot of money shorting Elliott though

as for 'integrity' ...this isnt a philosophical debate forum so I won't go into the discussion.

I'm old enough now to nknow that everyone can do silly things ...and most people do.

I think Luke made a lot of good choices for the club.

But I would prefer a president who was less in the spotlight, even before the recent incident

Betts, right? Eddie Betts...? Tell me that's what you meant...

We need a 'spew' emoji...

Good Presidents are Chairpersons and good chairpersons are typically someone who can draw capable board talent to join and help them build a collective experience and capability to appoint and monitor the best management possible- the people who actually run the business of the Club.

Football Club Board members aren't paid - and their motivations cover a spectrum - they can be bonifide members of a tribe and wish the tribe to succeed an prosper, at the other end they want to 'resume pad' and promote their own personal interests.

I think Sayers has been quite clearly the best chairperson the Club has had in decades - as he has been able to put together the necessary foundations of Club competency. Being able to attract capable management, attract strong sponsorship, membership and improved on field results is not an easy thing to do without a unified, cohesive and acceptable level of competency across a range of important day to day activities.

As for those who have criticised his alleged misdeeds as head of PWC - clearly you have no idea how business worked, is working still and will always work - and PWC is no more 'guilty' than any other accounting/legal/PR/strategy firm that lives off government outsourcing and that gravy train. Pointing finegrs at Sayers is either naivety or hyperbole.

I think the circumstances of this personally humiliating event leading to his resignation are just sad and I congratulate him for resigning in the best manner possible under difficult circumstances - he has done the right thing in the best possible manner for the Club - hopefully the next chairperson can continue the good work and build on the strong foundations they inherit.

Living off government outsourcing gravy train has not been the complaint, as far as I've read on here. More the lying about using confidential information to undercut Australian taxpayers - when they had signed off that they wouldn't.

It’s plausible that the image is genuine and leaked by someone somewhat unhappy by one’s certain behaviour. How many people would have access to one’s phone and account details? Hmmm

Anyway it sounds like Priestly will be the next Pres.

Yep. Jake Niall writes in today's Age "The Carlton he bequeaths, most likely to his vice president Rob Priestly is an improvement on the version that he inherited. Not many Carlton leaders of the past two decades can make that claim.".

Hey Josh …

What about juddy?

 

[Aphrodite]

What about juddy?

 

[Tjblues]

Knowing Josh it was probably him generating the media speculation to boost his own ego as he did for the AFL gig

 

[Lukeblueboy]

ok

 

[Gointocarlton]

What about juddy?

Juddy would spend all the time promoting Juddy Inc and not do a sausage for the club just like he did when he was on the board. No thanks.

 

[blueboy25]

Thank god for that.

 

[jj1978]

What about juddy?

Bec yes, Chris no.

What's the bullshit I'm hearing about Mathieson wanting a big change at the club. We finally got rid of the old boys club at the club and now that rent-a-quote piece of shit wants to bring it all back. How about he gets back into his coffin and just stay there.

 

[Dramoth]

Bec yes, Chris no.

Is she bringing down the IKEA plate set with her?

 

[jj1978]

Is she bringing down the IKEA plate set with her?

She’s quite cluey and articulate (yes I have conversed with her in the past) and if she’s passionate about something she’s all in. Also we’d have the best looking president in the business who will never be able to send a d-pick.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Juddy would spend all the time promoting Juddy Inc and not do a sausage for the club just like he did when he was on the board. No thanks.

All the board would get a gig at juddcella though[emoji23]
