He did work in admin at the Yankees! He has a background in sport!

assistant to the travelling secretary, actually. (ha ha)

did you know the secretary to the assistant to the travelling secretary earns more money that the assistant to the travelling secretary himself?

George Costanza could bring the Penski file with him.

From what I've heard he got extremely lucky with being the head during a period which had an exceptional coach and player group - in short, any CEO would've been successful during that period. The sun and the moon essentially collided on his watch.

Dumb luck really.

Absolutely hopeless people manager with appalling judgement. Got found out badly in his second stint. All was exposed.

Edit - iPad typos.

Maybe

For the life of me I still cant see why Scwhab was sacked. Neeld is the dud. His pre game speech was pitiful and the allowance of him to spew that rubbish on live tv was a disgrace.

Tend to agree Alf but please be warned you're treading dangerous waters here Son. Edited by thaipantsman

Will take your word for it RB, in saying that you got to have some smarts it don't just fall into out lap.

Ps good god wasn't that the apex of rugby? Lomu was flying, the Wallabies with larkham, Els, Gregan, The 100kg plus wingers, the Fijian flyers in Super 12's, the Lions here, the World Cup here... It was brilliant and we are a long way from it now.

No way let Gary Lyon choose the CEO. He chose the coach and look where we are.

Jim Stynes want Schwab when Bailey was sacked and Gary tallked him out of it.

Brian Cook would be a good choice as CEO. He played for Melbourne Under 19's.

Presently he is overseas some should catch up with him and have a chat with him.

He may be up for a challenge

Festivus or the rest of us!

They could do the selection using the feats of strength then the airing of the grievences!

The winner would truly be the right man or woman!

so you have seen one grab of a speech to players in Neelds time at Melbourne and decided he is a dud.

have you ever met the guy or spoken to any players to verify your assumption?

This guy worries me.

I reckon he was sacked by the AFL for naively firing up the tanking debate while AD was away.

He failed to see the ramifications of following up McLean's comments. Government gambling authorities still haven't announced the result of their match fixing probes. At least 8 Clubs are involved, and many millions of dollars earned by AFL Clubs from Poker machines are in jeopardy.

I want a CEO with a better understanding of how sport works than a guy who makes errors like that. (especially since so far, we're the only victims of his ineptitude).

Not the right choice for the club. background in football operation matters so likely to want to be involved in the footy department which is not what we want.

Also limited experience in the business side of football, we need someone who has strong business experience in marketing and sponsorships.

I cant see him fitting the bill.

The last 2 weeks have been the worst in my 31 years as a MFC member.

The next CEO of the MFC we MUST get right.

The future of the club we love is very much at stake and we MUST NOT get this WRONG.

Adrian Anderson would be perfect IMO.

Who do you think it will/should be?

LETS GET THIS RIGHT DEES.

WHY?????

Can't see supporters copping Anderson. He's the one who went for us and nobody else.

Not a lot of love for my left field suggestion of Tim Holding, understandable though, especially if you vote Liberal. I lived in his electorat and he's been a really good operator there. And no one's even commented on Tony Dodemaide who I reckon would be a good candidate.

All in all though I reckon Eugen Arocca seems to make the most sense.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
