Schwab re-signs for three years

[old dee 23,872]

I bet he sung in a choir and needs a good pre season in the gym. And to think we could have had Jack Darling

Exactly RR glad to see you have seen the light.

[old dee 23,872]

but can he hold down a KPF role?

I doubt it DC not tall enough but the small forward role is still open.

[old dee 23,872]

Jesse Hogan will make Darling clean his boots.

Talks cheap

Don't read much do you...

Locking away a current major jumper sponsor for next year hardly eradicates the blunders of the past year (namely deliberately going into a season without a major jumper sponsor on account of negotiations for the magical Chinese mega-deal and in turn getting into a situation where the club had neither major jumper sponsors).

Given the product the guy is trying to sell, he's done an amazing job to get any money from anyone!

Fair crack mate.

[old dee 23,872]

The down side is we can look forward to another 3 years of media scorn

Of course winning games would shut them up.

I think you missed the "deliberately" part, the deal with Energy Watch was the biggest in club history and the Chinese deal was said to be bigger than that. He admitted he was overlooking "lesser deals" to try and get the Chinese deal done.

And with how quickly the Webjet and Opel deals were locked in after having no sponsors whatsoever, it's hard to argue there wasn't sponsorship interest.

Comes across as ego to me, trying to catch the biggest fish in spite of the club's best interests (and supporters being able to purchase a guernsey relevant to the next season without delay).

Lol... Yeah how dare Schwabb try and get the most money he could for the club, who does he think he is?

There was never a Chinese sponsorship within kooee of being signed. Schwab readily admitted this at a news conference when the energywatch debacle happened. It was a ballsy play and CS would have been lauded a champion if he landed a big fish, but sadly to no avail.

His dept is off field...and its ticking over ok me tinks

I simply don't know BB

On this one I have to defer to the board.

In two years time they will either look like a bunch of rocket scientists or dip sticks.

But that will not be the responsibility of CS alone.

The die is cast in a number of area's and we have no choice to run with it.

It is always thus with the MFC but interesting times lie ahead.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Is this where I am supposed to pretend I know if he is doing a good job or not? I have no idea and I imagine a lot of supporters don't know. So good on you CS I think?

[Deers 202]

I'm not going to turn in my sleep over a CEO.

If Schwab is a good sort or not is up to the Board. I really don't know either way. But he was a dead man walking 13 months ago. He must have done something right since.

I said the same above cfh.

From the outside who knows.

He has made a few errors( who doesn't ) but seems to have recovered quite well.

The current board and CS are now locked together.

Everything or nothing for both of them.

I just want a flag so we can hold a press conference and Scwhab is there with Watts,Morton,Neeld and any other whipping boy and they all step up to the microphone, clear their throats and begin and end the press conference with F you herald sun and F you Brock Mclean and F you Energy watch and F you Wojo (still haven't forgotten) and so on.

[beelzebub 23,383]

Im prepared to defer a real opinion on where we sit to those that put up the big bikkies.

Whilst Webjet has yet to announce anything Opel has. They only came on board for a year ( with an option ) They exercised thir otion. To me thats a ringing endorsement of th eclub and those in charge. I understand CS is a major player in all of this so kudos to him I say ( and the rest of those involved )

Sometimes I think were a bloody feral mob who are very quick to rain on anyone who veers slightly off a path. Seldom is there any fanfare for a job well done.

All jokes and desks aside I can only assume C Sis doing a better than ok job as the club seems to be on a much better footing than before he came on board. Yes Jimma rallied the masses but the club continues to operate responsibly and profitably.

The board think so too and I can only think they know a lot more than most of us.

A number of clubs are struggling for sponsors for 2013 in the current economic climate. The fact that Opel have stuck with us is an endorsement for CS.

A caroline wilson hate campaign, rumours and innuendo don't undo that.

[Biffen 12,947]

Looks like we are going to need to get the man a new Desk.

I'm thinking Oak-a la Henry Blake.

[Brian Wilson 331]

We are solvent. For MFC, that's a massive achievement. Given this year, that's a near miracle.

[Hannibal 5,814]

Some of you crackpots love a poorly performed pick one yet denigrate a CEO who has the club's finances in it's best shape since we split with the MCC in 1981.

Give yourselves a pat on the back.

[Harcourt 146]

The CEO is the very very least of our problems.

Not sure it needed to be 3 years but I don't pretend to know how these things work.
