And you have zero clue about how big business and contracts actually work.

Yep, absolutely 0.

I mean, besides systematically analyzing their business models, cashflow projections, management strengths, marketing strengths, cashflow cycles (and the various deficiencies), analyzing individual contracts etc for the past 27 years, to determine if they are a viable business including major client group entities (think Coles etc).

Since leaving that sector, going on to become a senior industry specialist, to assess how people in my old role analyzed these facets, to determine if they did an adequate job.

I mean, besides that, none. Onya Rocky.

If it walks like a wanker, talks like a wanker, and posts like a wanker.....it's generally a wanker.

Yet you don't understand why a guy who hasn't commenced his Manly employment wouldn't be the guy making the public statements?

In what is possibly the most divisive week in the history of the club, @Ryan has found yet one more way to drive a wedge between Manly fans.

It's a rare talent you possess, and I think we all know why.
Well done.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Honestly ( sorry Ryan) it was never the responsibility of the incoming CEO ( who hadn’t started work yet ).

It was someone’s responsibility, but shouldn’t have been left to DCE / DES.

Tony Meztrov had zero to do with the decision and would not have been across any facet of the issue.

Blaming him is ridiculous.

Scott Penn should have fronted the media via Zoom.

Blame him not Mestrov.

Thanks for your LinkedIn bio

Thanks for your LinkedIn bio

Someone suggested I don't have experience in those matters, what do you want me to reply with ? The Wiggles on stage set line-up?

If I was Mestrov ... the second I heard of the Bruhaha ... I would have turned my phone off ... closed the curtains .... and hidden under the bed ...

Drive a wedge between Manly fans? Dude. Cheer up and get a life. If me saying Mestrov or the interim CEO should have made the announcement instead of our coach and captain being thrown to the wolves has created a wedge between you and anyone, then mate...lighten up.

A good article (best practices) around starting a role as CEO. Mestrov would have been right across this. He should have at a minimum asked the interim CEO to step forward like I've suggested numerous times here.

Nobody feels the pressure more acutely than a chief executive starting a new role. As you progress your career, the more responsibility you have you seemingly have less time to assimilate into each new role. In meeting with a CEO of an iconic Australian company last week to acknowledge their first

Or he asked Penn and Penn told him Des was going to look after it.

Time for you to give it a rest

And that's wrong too. Des when asked why he's speaking instead of them said they'd have to ask management (yet later said he volunteered).

Either way, having Des and DCE answer marketing questions is beyond a joke, and yes Penn has a lot to answer for.

Buffoonery.

Like all good Manly CEO's Mestrov hit Oxford street all night trying to stop people being gay so this doesn't happen to the club again.

Your first post on this made no mention of the interim CEO stepping in to address the media (which would’ve actually made sense), instead you decided to have a swipe at someone that hasn’t even started at the club yet.

Hopefully we go back to winning again because for some reason I don’t seem to see you on here much when that happens.

I dare say the response is based on this post and those following

"Also, to all who disagreed here, I take comfort in the fact that you obviously have absolutely zero business acumen, experience or more importantly, public relations when it comes to advertising & managing your brand." - your post

Sometimes you are insightful, sometimes frustrating, sometimes confronting - and then sometimes you really fall in to the gaslighting sphere. You manipulate a persons response to cast doubt

I hope you are ok

You specifically said strike one against Mestrov for not stepping up in your first post in this thread.

You are a merchant of doom. And have been for as long I can remember.

And the last thing anyone needs right now is yet more negativity.

Whatever again. You complain about every second poster & their opinions , so it's really a who cares what you think.

I look forward to you disappearing again (it will mean we are going well), until the next loss, or club crisis, of course.
