Re: Tigers split on new president
Hmm!!
Politics and a divided Board again threaten to ruin the RFC.
When March announced his stepping down, one should have clearly thought that a succession plan would have already been worked out.
Now we threaten to eat ourselves from within again.
Will this club ever learn?
Hmmm!!!!

Re: Tigers split on new president
They are lining up to President now. Pre Gary it was the short straw.
Storm in a teacup and will be settled behind closed doors.
Two successful people wanting to be President of a club they know is going to be successful.

Re: Tigers split on new president
Waaaaiiiiit just a minute.....Malcolm Speed?
The guy that was at the helm of the NBL just before it disintegrated despite before he got there it was growing nicely and was in good shape. How could he muck up a sport with such a high junior participation rate?
Oh well. I guess that might have just been bad timing and luck. Not his fault perhaps. It must have already been in decline when he got rid of 3 teams. Getting rid of those teams tore the fabric of the league apart and it hasn't recovered yet.
But hang on....the same guy who was the CEO at the ACC at a time that preceded the Australian cricket team heading into the wilderness after years as the best team in the world by a long way? Strange timing that.
Then the CEO of the ICC from 2001? ....Well, I guess international cricket hasn't lost it's way at all over the last decade (!!!!!!). Although being on paid leave until his contract ran out in 2008 out isn't exactly a glowing endorsement of someone who is rumoured to have had a falling out with the ICC president.
Maybe I'm reading the tealeaves completely wrong, but I'm not overly confident with having this barrister as our president. I'm happy to go with March's man.

Re: Tigers split on new president
Both applicants seem to also have other significant roles elsewhere. I want whoever gets the job to be the best & to ensure they devote sufficient time to OUR Presidency. I don't give 2 hoots if they drop their other roles in favour of devoting the max to us.

Re: Tigers split on new president
Eddie McGuire has managed to find time to take Collingwood from the brink of bankrupcy to what it is today while still having significant roles elsewhere. It's a voluntary position.

Re: Tigers split on new president
Fair enough. I'll buy that.
However he has come under critisism for his stints at both basketball and cricket boards and the way he went about some things and his inability/refusal to recognise key aspects that needed to be addressed differently that ultimately failed..
I don't know about his current role with Golf Australia.
I guess it's just a 'vibe' I'm getting

Re: Tigers split on new president
He's listed as the Executive Director.
Their member sports are the footy codes (AFL, NRL, FFA, ARU), cricket, tennis and netball.
Think this may be why the AFL is supporting him. He's already in the tent with them.

Have noticed that Speed seems to be the main spokesperson for the "Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports".Mac said:

Re: Tigers split on new president
Speed may have failed to get the BICC under control, but Eddie couldn't get the Channel Nine execs in Sydney to give him the time of day.
If Speed can deliver the type of presidency Eddie delivered to Collingwood, I'd be very happy.
