Kiwi - the point is that didn't happen (re - Kennedy) - did it. We get what we are dealt, and on face value, we haven't been as innovative and strategic as we could have been.
DSM5 - I certainly wouldn't have gone for the role. I much prefer job security. I'd hate to have to bow to an owner who's ego gets in the way of right decision making.
Plus, it would be strictly business acumen why I'd want to be selected. It would be networking. Not as a mediator. You know, there are professionals that get paid around $150 bucks an hour that could probably do what Grampa Simpson has been asked to do over two years in two days.
Here's the thing. We NEEDED and active CEO this off season. Lowe was unable to fulfill that role due to ill, or poor health. I do feel bad for him. I hope the job doesn't send him to his grave early....but the writing is on the wall. Who really didn't see this happening?
The position has been filled though, and I'll live with it. I'm excited to see what fresh, new and brilliant plans and idea's Lowe has that will differentiate our brand from the others, that will be a mission statement as a "compelling reason to buy" Sea Eagles.
I wonder how much mediation is currently being done from a hospital bed. The one reason he has been brought here, and he can't fulfill that role to expectation. How can Lowe "unite the clans" (which in itself is ridiculous to begin with), when he probably needs someone to care after him personally himself.
Don't be naive guys. This is a very volatile time for individual clubs. Only the strong will survive. You see how often, and frequently discussion is held relating to relocation, budget and performance off the park. A board, some owners, and a CEO can get along as much as they like. They get to above mentioned wrong, well, I'll leave it to you to consider those ramifications.Â
