Its both astonishing and predictable that you can type this with a straight face. There are basic, internationally recognised and accepted principles of good corporate governance. Transparency, accountability, diversity, integrity. These are measurable. Good organisations measure them all time, as does the AFL nominally, but they use their own measuring tape and ignore them when they are inconvenient.
Diversity? The top brass are all rich white men, and mates, siblings even, who went to the same private school. And now they are all too scared to lose GM, because nobody else is good enough to solve all the problems he and his cronies have created? Its a farce whichever way you look at it, except if you're the AFL of course.
they are clinging to GM because a shakeup, big or small, will come when he leaves. Understandably, they are *smile* scared of that, both for being even partially exposed as poor to mediocre, and also copping some scrutiny, and even possibly losing their cushy well paid gigs.
The word appears on someone's job title at AFL HQ. It is not required as a function of the job. See 2 above.
