Phantar said:Cambo - maybe Perry thought we didn't need to wait through a finals campaign, with the Club continually shooting itself in the foot. Just read Paul Kent's piece or Mike Colman's from the last few days. It's pretty clear that Zorba has been making enemies for a long time now. That makes it harder to garner positive publicity. That feeds into the 'everyone hates Manly' crap. That feeds into making it harder to attract sponsors. That makes it harder to attract funds to upgrade Brookvale. And all that makes it harder to survive long term. That's what people like Joe Cross, Perry, Cummings, Mayer et al have all been trying to do. We don't need former club greats trying to undermine the current board or the new CEO over what direction he thinks we need to move in. Everyone was sticking it to Graham Lowe as essentially a 'do nothing' administrator. Now we have an administrator that clearly does want to move the 'brand' forward. Have you read recent reports that indicate that St George-Illawarra have a projected five year capitalisation of around $183 million? They are the leading NRL club. We're currently nowhere near that, but we would want to be, if we want our Club to survive. Collingwood are up at around $344 million.Cambo said:I don't care who it was. The timing is s**t c.o.o is there to do a job and will live or die by his calls. Zorbs might of needed to go from his current role but surely it should been done in November after we had won the comp.
We don't need senior club officials hectoring politicians over Brookvale Oval funding and who have a say in where the money goes, when they weren't even in power - or at any other time. What sought of clueless dunderhead does that? I know, Peter Peters.
Some people need to start smelling the roses.
DSM5 said:The Dogs culture fell away after Coffs Harbour and the cap rorting. Not the same as us at all. We need to get on the front foot in a professional way to confront the pressing issues, most notably Brookvale. Peters had no clue.
Simmo said:Those unhappy about the timing of all this can thank Zorba for that too.
Perry was going to move him on in the off season, but Zorba demanded clarity on his long term future now.
Then Zorba came out with his "good sort" comment, removing any chance that it could be left until after the season.
Daniel said:Jethro, perry pretty much said as much in his media interview
Your point is?Fluffy said:and posting about it only keeps it in the headlines
What we need is 3 or 4 people who can create spread sheets graphs and are good with pulisher.DSM5 said:Look, no-one has a job for life. That era has well and truly gone. Zorba hung around, and got well paid, for the last forty years. He's been made redundant and a payout, while other people his age just get the watch. He did very well out of his association with the club. I'm of the opinion that we need a more professional approach to media, our debts, our playing ground and our promotions, A different person will hopefully bring an invigorated approach..
