SCHWAB GONE - chuck a party!!!! Just need McLardy to move aside now.....

[markc 975]

Gone .....

[PartyTimeJohnny 537]

.@MelbourneFC press conference called for 4pm at the @MCG today. @3awSportsToday believes chief executive Cameron Schwab has been sacked.

[Steno 200]

Oh we must surely win this weekend now...... All the players are going to commit to each other and the club... Watts is going to get 25 kicks, Pederson is not going to duck, it is all going to change...

I wonder if we will still make a profit each year going forward though... or sign that sponsor that many think Schwab couldn't...

[Jaded No More 68,966]

Now lets see if he really was the cause of all our problems or just another scapegoat.

We are shooting them one by one until we find the problem. Lets hope we finally hit the jackpot.

Also slightly disappointed no live beard action.

[dazzledavey36 55,001]

Wow massive news if true. there will be a lot of players happy now..

[daisycutter 29,622]

settle down folks

schwabby to reveal his sleeve

[rpfc 28,540]

Well, he has made it easy for us to move on from what happened a few years ago.

He should never have been given an extension but that isn't his fault.

For him to resign is the best outcome from our clubs perspective as Boards can be challenged but executives are expensive to remove.

He is a Demon despite his shortcomings and I hope we don't make the mistake that we seem to always make and that is make an enemy of a Demon who had the best interests of the club at heart.

He moves on.

We must move on too.

Thanks for your contribution to the MFC Cameron, all the best for the future.

[Little Richard 6,265]

Wouldn't mind him staying on in some kind of Financial Advising capacity, if the financial success was actually his doing.

Good to see a change in administration though.

MELBOURNE CEO Cameron Schwab has quit.

His resignation comes in the wake of the Demons' dismal start to the season, highlighted by Saturday's 148-point loss to Essendon.

[P-man 13,366]

Wow.

[rpfc 28,540]

Wow massive news if true. there will be a lot of players happy now..

Yeah, one is retired, one plays for Geelong, one plays for Brisbane...

Cameron did this because it helps the club. I think it shows a great deal about the man who is blamed for all that is wrong at the club but as we will see in the next few months - is not the cause root of all evil.

[Little Richard 6,265]

I wonder if any of this was Range Rovers doing?

Interesting to see Saturday's performance......

That's right rpfc - keep sticking it in.

Does anyone else think that Adrian Anderson is a good chance to be appointed CEO? Any new CEO would have to get the AFL seal of approval.

[Josh 1,420]

If sacking the CEO makes us win this weekend fair dinkim I'll eat my hat while baring my ass on bourke st.

[rpfc 28,540]

That was not my intetntion. You should read the entire post.

The players have had a handy scapegoat fall on his sword today.

I hope their emotions are as vexed as mine are.

[Vipercrunch 2,827]

I just poated this in another thread about CS.

How much influence, both positive or negative does any club CEO have on the outcomes on the field other than properly resourcing and partially recruiting the football department? I need this explained to me by people who know the inner workings of football clubs.

Someone please explain.

If we when then we should sack the players as well!

[DeeSpencer 25,723]

He's brought props. Haha

Last every whiteboard wednesday coming up here

Nup. It was Cameron Schwab's doing.

Happy to take the abuse though (Stuie, Satyricon etc) to stand up for what's right.

[frankie_d 1,471]

sounds like McLardy pushed him
