Schwab's shock resignation

Featured Replies

 

You spelt his name wrong, DC.

And I had read that article before reading your headline - and I still believed you - such is the rollercoaster of the MFC...

Oh, and don't do that!

only 17 days late :wacko:

 

According to Caroline Wilson in The Age this morning McLardy wants our Schwab to stick around after his 31st October contract cut off. Don't know what to think about that.

I pressed "like this", because it's the closest thing to "dislike this" that there is.

:blink:

 

Interesting to see the Webjet FoJ deal was worth "almost $1m".

I can see you're going to have a field day on that topic. Maybe field-year.

With the reported $500k we received already from EW perhaps we have a $1m for 2012 plus options for $3m over the following two years?


Has anyone at the club ever confirmed Caroline Wilson's ongoing assertion that Camerson Schwab was to be ousted just before Bailey was instead. She's written about it and talked about it many times and I honestly believe she believes it to be true. But is it? But has anyone else ever confirmed it to be the case?

Well HT, the amount of sh!t I had to put up with on that particular topic, and the number of personal remarks I received, I think I'm within my right to have a dig here and there. Heck, even Schwab had a go at people with the same opinion as me - did he not say that he was glad some of us weren't negotiating on behalf of the Club?

Have wondered the same thing. CW has always been ready to go hard at Cameron ever since KB was sacked.

Would be lovely RPFC, and I would hope that the Club seriously considers that if it were the case. Wouldn't get any complaints from me.

Is it something that we think the Club should publicly address? Just a question to raise, I am not sure of where I stand regarding her constant reporting of such an event. It really is getting tiresome. The annoying part is that you can't leave comments on her articles to challenge it.

The only way to address it is for Cameron to do an A1 job as CEO. If Mclardy wants him to stay on then we can only hope it is for the right reasons.

If a 2nd sponsor is named soon then CW's words can be treated with a hint of disdain.

Agree - it seems to be her mission but I seem to recall others including Sheehan seem to have accepted it.

I found the Age article curious. Is there a posibility that McLardy is applying the "Kiss of Death" to Schwab?

How the hell do you get that out the article??

Because as the cliches goes - 'having the full support of the board' is usually followed by the sack...

But I will remind Jackie that usually the board isn't discussing re-signing said person as McLardy intimated with those quotes.

Well, it's also usually when a CEO or manager is under great media pressure and supporter base is calling for his sacking.

No media sh%tstorm to be seen here. Not currently anyway.

And like you said, this isn't a statement of support, this is a suggestion of a contract extension.

I have quite a few mates who follow Fremantle and they are scolding of their criticism of Cameron Schwab

Still yet to tell me why in concrete examples

I have had a similar experience with Freo supporters I know. I have to say it's made me very sceptical of him.

Just remember though, the ones who do the unpopular jobs, cop the flak for their difficult job...

Not saying what sort of job he's doing, probably a good job, but we should not stop looking out for the elite.

Haha evidently based on no fact whatsoever, other than other some Freo supporters having a vague dislike for him...

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
