I hope this new guy adds a more pro-active, "get the job done" type vibe to the role.
Mayer didn't bring in any players either. In fact it was partly due to his incompetence at trying to land a big fish to replace BK that gave Glenn Stewart a crack and that worked out pretty well for us. And believe me we chased every name backrower in the comp and he came up duck eggs.
These days the CEO is only part of a team in the player negotiation stakes, coaches and footy managers are the real decision makers.
The coach can make recomendations which are usually taken on board but the CEO/CFO will say yes or no. Tis this way with all large businesses.

Footy is different. CEO runs the overall business of which player signings are only a small part and you have your SME's in those fields. I guarantee you 90% of the work done in getting players to sign for your club will be done mainly by guys like your footy managers, player recruitment officers and depending on the players age, the coaches.
