RR's Weekly Poll (c) - Round 2: Should McLardy, Schwab and Co resign or be removed?

[stuie 7,374]

You are Kidding aren't you....The Board and CEO are ultimately responsible for any company...

The MFC and it's supporters must expect better than the last 7 years....Watch todays game Stuie.

How far behind it are we??

7 years to climb.....

Yes we are behind ON THE FIELD. None of the board members are responsible for coaching or playing, and the main guy responsible for picking the coach isn't even a board member.

Directionless anger is just plain dumb.

[rjay 25,091]

If this board had been in charge since 64 I may agree, but these calls are plain dumb.

Schwab is not responsible for our gameplan (or lack thereof), McLardy is not responsible for our lack of effort, they're not even responsible for who we trade/draft! I know we're all angry, but let's not just swing blindly at anyone we can think of, let's be the opposite of our team and actually focus our attention where it should be, the players and the coach.

Ultimately the CEO is responsible for the performance of the club, use all the names you want 'stuie' but this time Schwab must go. The last year and a half have been wasted by the board not having the balls to make the move after the Geelong game.

Gone....and this week.

[stuie 7,374]

Norm Smith was sacked by a board Stuie.

So the curse began at board level.

Maybe we should find them all, re-elect them, then get RR and WYL to tell them off and sack them?

The CEO is responsible for the performance of the club OFF FIELD, the coach is responsible for the performance of the club ON FIELD.

FCS, how do you guys not get this? We're doing as well as can be expected off field given how much we suck on field, so put 2 and 2 together.

[Sir Why You Little 37,131]

Directionless anger is just plain dumb.

You obviously have no idea what a board or a CEO do within organizations Stuie.

They ARE ultimately responsible....

[stuie 7,374]

Haha turn it up WYL.

CEO = Off field

Coach = On field

If you don't get that then there's no hope for you I'm afraid.

Off field flows to on field Stuie. It's a very basic truism that even you should grasp.

[stuie 7,374]

Haha that is the dumbest comment you've made mate.

We're successful off the field, so clearly you are 100% wrong.

We made an (albeit small) profit last year, what was our onfield percentage?

You have 0 logic.

Also, I like the way RR has worded the poll again to suit his agenda... I hope he realizes that the second two options say the same thing so the votes are accumulative.

We are not successful off field. We are weak surrender monkeys.

You reckon supporters will dig into their pockets to fund another bail out? I don't.

Coach still answers to the CEO Stuie ultimately.

Vlad is the CEO of the AFL He is ultimately in charge.

Please understand this basic fact.

It comes across like the culture problems and rot that became very public in 186 goes further than the footy department.

How many coaches and players would you like to see get turned over before you start considering maybe the problems are higher up?

And you think changing CEO's will magically turnaround the quality of our players and coach? How ridiculous.

WYL. Come on mate. That is a pointless post. The CEO doesn't develop a gameplan and hand it to the coach.

So what you're saying is, the coach answers to the CEO, our CEO answers to Demitirou, so we should sack Vlad then hey? That will fix us!

[stuie 7,374]

We are not successful off field. We are weak surrender monkeys.

Off field we made a profit last year.

On field we won 4 games.

Try and borrow some logic from somewhere.

[Sir Why You Little 37,131]

Believe what you like Stuie. Our CEO signs off ALL the cheques paid within the club.

He is ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for the employees of the club.

All of them on & off the field.

Neeld is the coach so he is in charge of the FD with Neil Craig, but the CEO is above these people.

That's why he is called the CHIEF.

WYL, you can't be that dumb, surely?

As I said, if you want to follow that logic then firing Demitirou would be the solution...

Get a clue.

Forget the $2 bob profit or whatever it was. A minor concern. More pressing is the butter soft culture which permeates down from the top. The one which meekly accepted the media hounds painting us as the tanking club. The one which didn't have the cojones to march into court when integrity dictated we had to.

Don't bother replying as it's clear that the relative complexity of these notions is lost on you.

Ugh... you are so utterly clueless.

This is about football, not politics. Don't try and overcomplicate a relatively simple thing.

We are playing badly and being coached badly. The business side of the club does not effect this.

Me get a clue?

Vlad can revoke our licence you know. He won't, but can.

For the last time...Club employees are all answerable to the CEO.

When things are not working the CEO is answerable to the shareholders. (us).

It's the coach and players that are failing. Point blame where it lays not where you want it to be.

Absolute rats.

Football and politics are intertwined you dolt. Always have been and always will be.

And while we're on the business side of things, how many memberships do you reckon the club cost itself yesterday? How do you reckon the sponsors felt? You reckon that $2 bob profit can't be turned into a million dollar deficit in a matter of months. We're aleady $500 large in the hole owing to our capitulation to Demetriou and Co.

Get with the program.

For you they are intertwined, but in reality they are not.

With the players and coach we have the result would have been the same yesterday not matter who happened to be sitting in the CEO chair.

It's called "football" after all, not "politiball".

However, pathetic onfield efforts will surely destroy "the business side" and, the club itself.
