For those interested. Perry was pretty positive of the club and of 2V http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/manly-sea-eagles/manly-sea-eagles-sacked-manager-david-perry-tipped-to-be-replaced-by-south-sydney-financial-guru-20141027-11cjja.html
He seems a very classy person. And also smart. Almost certainly there will be an understanding that to earn his pay-out from the Penns he needs to be politically correct. I'm waiting until 2016 for his warts'n'all book on his time with the club! In fact, Dave, if you are looking for a ghost writer I'm your man.
Yeah, obviously he's been given a payout and would be dumb to endanger that, but I think both he and the Penns have handled his departure very well. No fuss, nice words all around and what appears to be an able replacement already installed. Maybe this will be the end of any bloodletting. As Who said, all done with a lot of class.
Cronulla could do worse than approach Perry for their vacant CEO position. If a club needs a financial shake-up and drawing in money, Perry appears to be good fit for them at the moment.
Perry didn't really reveal much in that interview, though like others here I think it has to do more with protecting his own than anything. Not many NRL clubs out there would want to hire an administrator who doesn't mind spilling his guts about the inner workings of his former club to the media and Perry is clearly looking to fill a similar position at another club. The smartest thing was to simply say that he was leaving on good terms.
