Quintessential Essendon summed up with that appointment and fallout. The place is littered with “powerbrokers” who all seem to be the worst people in the world yet they just keep diving back into that pool again and again!
Said it all when they did their "review" but before the review even started the boards jobs were all guaranteed

Quite surprised they didn't appoint Hird again.
Would've been perfect.

The more pertinent issue with Thorburn's appointment as CEO is whether it was at arm's length given his involvement in the "external review".

Second to that would be his fitness for the role given the fallout from the banking Royal Commission which questioned his character and ethics.

Then we arrive at his involvement at the church and its compatibility with Essendon's core values...

This is comically bad. I don't even think we reached these heights with Angus at the helm.

His interview with SEN this morning was a disaster

Listening to it now. Already sounds like a used car salesman.

Already admitted to entertaining the CEO position whilst undertaking the review, then excused himself from the CEO review component of the wider process. Don't buy it.

Alot of buzz words thrown around.

Geez, reeks of "jobs for the boys". Just sounds completely out of touch.
 
Guy is a far right wing nut job surely they must have known. Likely they knew but didn't think it would create the brouhaha it did.
Guy is actually responsible for a lot of pro-LGBTQI initiatives at NAB, etc. No one has been able to find anything he's done or said against minority groups, ever. Only things for them. So I'm not sure "right wing nut job" is fair or reasonable.

Yes, I am religious myself. And like Essendon's short-lived CEO, I believe no one should be discriminated against because of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Including Essendon's ex-CEO.

Wasn’t discriminated against. He quit

That's correct.

His main problem is that for someone who achieved a CEO position at one of the majors he sounds like a dithering idiot.

Apparently on a personal level he's fine. Why you'd want him CEO of a footy club who knows .

Publicly confirmed he was told he couldn't be affiliated with a church if he wanted to keep working there. I think you'll find that that's still considered discrimination in every discrimination law ever.
