[whatwhat say what 22,732]

best of luck for your future endeavours.

shame it hasn't worked out the way we all wanted.

[dazzledavey36 54,834]

Don told him its best to resign..

[Nasher 33,613]

Thank you Cameron. You have made the correct decision for the club.

One down.

[dazzledavey36 54,834]

Finally Don gets to work by sacking cam!

[mjt 640]

The board should have to pay out his 6 months severance pay as well, stupid decision, why should the club suffer financially for there bad decisions.

[Josh 1,420]

We won't win with a third world midfield and no ruckman. And BTW Garry Lyon no longer has the right to. All himself a demon

[Sir Why You Little 37,021]

Who will take over?

Critical....

[Jack7 528]

And take Chris Connolly with you!

Gary has a short list of potential CEO's.

Ha! put this down on another thread an hour ago..

"Besides RR, i dont think its anyones agenda to out Schwab.

As i mentioned in another thread, he's basically signing his own termination letter with his absense - esp, over the last couple weeks.

But here and now, as you say, I believe we need a Big Gun to lead us out of the wilderness.
Schwab is a derringer, at best.

I would be hitting up someone proven to pull everything back together - like an Adrian Anderson for eg..

He's done some good things Schwab, of course made some mistakes too.

But we just need better at the moment."

[dazzledavey36 54,834]

Schwab has back both trenners and grimes to get us out of this hole

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

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.

How ironic.

[Return to Glory 8,434]

Did the right thing by the club. Well done Cameron Schwab.

[Richo31 20]

Schwabby, make sure you shut the door on your way out.

[Range Rover 1,935]

McLardy goes next. Backed this joker in for a full three years.

"The board has complete faith in his ability to deliver the key elements of our future club plans...an announcement on his tenure can be expected in the next couple of weeks.''

Don just mentioned Cam being unfairly maligned by certain parts of the media - Caro will be gleeful

[Return to Glory 8,434]

Schwabby, make sure you shut the door on your way out.

That's how we treated James McDonald. No, he walks out head held high.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,741]

I suspect Cameron Schwab is a decent person and I wish him well whatever he does next. His departure was probably necessary to defuse tension.

I mean no disrespect to Richmond's CEO, Benny Gale, but gee it would be nice to see Caroline Wilson's apoplexy if Richmond appointed Schwab as their CEO.

[beelzebub 23,335]

Thankyou..and Thankyou Schwabby.

Good luck with your future.

The thing that sickens me is the thought of Keros rapture.

And we move on.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

Cam speaking very well. Being very magnanimous towards Don and the Board.

[Richo31 20]

That's how we treated James McDonald. No, he walks out head held high.

Yeah, he showed Junior the door with Bailey cowering in the corner. Shame, shame, shame.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,631]

Geez Caro is there.

[Sir Why You Little 37,021]

Cameron leaves with respect. It was time to go.

Mclardy will be next.....2 weeks or less?

[dazzledavey36 54,834]

McLardy said the club is strong off the field, but they will be judged on the field.

When asked about being a scapegoat..

Cam: "Am i scapegoat? I know ultimately my role was to build the club, but we need to win games of footy. We've lost by over 200 points the last two games, that is bad situation. I was up for the fight,"

Schwab: "My preference was to stay in the role. I still felt energetic, but it is within the rights of the president and the board to make the call they have."

[Jack7 528]

Scapegoat.

McLardy asked for the AFL's help yesterday.

CEO sacked today.

Hmmm,this is Vlad's call.

DM just said we have a "divided supporter base" - Lots of reasons surrounding CS and the last 4 years - DM blathering, CS cuts in to say that him leaving will clear the air... DM is WAAAAYYYYYYY out of his depth in this conference - CS is defending the board and his sacking 'cos DM is incapable of handling the presser --- how terrible... CS trying to protect DM... just shocking leadership.

asked about CS reappointment for 3 years - more mumble and drivel

sounds like DM and the board want to clear the 186 air etc etc etc but he can't say that in public... it's a real can of wriggling worms

what about yesterday's letter - there will be no sudden changes !!!

again DM on about "divided supporter base the CS polarises"...
