New CEO

[lsz]

For a brief period he was almost my fav player ahead of the mule.

Lets hope he gets the additional resourcing required to make the role a success

Must admit I found it interesting that we all knew about this a week ago , yet it’s only been announced today.

 

[StuBoot]

Won't someone please think of the greyhounds!

HE did, took them from the scrapheap/adoption agency to the Million Dollar Chase.

Yep, my member's email landed at 2.28pm this arvo.

Guys I had communication fromm the club, in response to my enquiry, saying that it appears the leak came from Greyhounds NSW and they had not been made aware of it before Slothfield grabbed the "exclusive"

Correct mate, Greyhound NSW did have communication out on this just prior to Rothfield’s interview with Penn on Sunday.

Wise old man once say...

I wish Tony all the best, but are we running a book on how last he will last?

Manly CEO's don't seem to last long.

Me thinks someone from the club must've read the Des-Penn-Buzz thread here and sensed our displeasure at not being told...

And in hindsight, the discretion showed by Tony given his stake in the Greyhound Industry is quite professional. I 100% rescind my comments about the club not notifying people.

So what do we expect in Mestrov's first week.
Manaise to be cleared and playing.
New 3rd party sponsors
New stadium construction to commence at season end
Media manager to include all supporters
Miracle recovery for Tom Turbo
And the key elements of the Wizard of Oz, a brain for a forward, a heart for a forward. Fill in your own ideas for which forwards. And courage for ???
Maybe even snare Haas and Munster to bolster the Blacktown squad.

Hope he has got the artists impression guy on speed dial.

I’d be happy with an email to members saying “ I’ve got a **** load of work to do and it ain’t going to be easy so have patience “

That would be a good start

I don't know about all of that, but I do believe he has all the tools and experience, (like @Mitch wisely stated) to do a very bloody good job. This appointment has the potential to set us absolutely in the right direction.

Spot on mate - You never want to pre-emptively talk a bloke up too much before he even arrives, but he has all the credentials and experience to become one of the better CEOs in the game.

My issue is not with the talent they put into CEO but the lack of support strucutres

Look at the membership & marketing teams who (from what i can gather) appear to be a fair but smaller than the bigger clubs. I hate to think about what other non football related operational support is lacking

How hard can it be ?

About 80% of total revenue is given to you by the NRL.

The NRL do all the marketing and advertising of games.

Sub contractor agencies handle ticket sales.

Concession licences handle the pies and sausage rolls.

The council do all ground maintenance ..

What does a CEO do ... sponsors, yeah ok. ... public relations and spin doctoring ok, play solitaire all day ok.
