Cameron Schwab use as a sacrifice to keep Tom Scully

[rpfc 28,261]

The management of the Tom Scully situation is destroying this club.

Cam Schwab should be fired.

1. Borrowed 100K through the club (hmm, that's ethical)

2. Promised $1m to Scully ([censored] off every other player on our list and way above the odds)

3. Hired Todd Viney while our senior coach was on holiday - can't keep himself out of the FD.

I agree that CS has been a meddlesome [censored] when it comes to footy affairs and that loan was odd to say the least...

However, point 2 is BS - what Cameron very clumsily said was that we had the space to pay $1m but that we wouldn't break our wage structure because it would endanger the future. CS says here that "We assume that this group is going to be the group which is the Melbourne footy club team for the next decade or so, We've got to make sure we look after all of them."

The hiring of FD people (point 3) is in the domain of the CEO. It would have been best if Bailey was in Melbourne at the time, but I don't even think Viney was in Melbourne when he agreed to come...

What a completely miserable disaster.

Half the threads on DL right could be summed up in such a way.

McClure said on 360 that Scully should not play out the rest of the season. I tend to agree with him.
