Who is picking the next coach?

[Waltham33 475]

Peter Jackson is not an interim CEO, he will be here well beyond 2014

Our funding depends on it - he said that today

someone is starting a Poll on Demonland to decide .................

I'd be expecting it to look something like.

Spargo (acting president, you'd expect will be one of the remaining members of the board)

Greg Healy (another board memebr, but the only one with a football background)

Jackson (obviously)

Harley or Ling (recetnly retied AFL captain from a succesful club)

Matthews (coaching great who from what you hear has no desire to coach again so you'd think wouldn't come into consideration)

Reckon they'll still need a panel as this will be an extensive search and we'll iadvertise and interview some potential rookie coaches but also invite the likes of Eade, Roos, Williams, Ratten and Ayres in for chat without the need for them to apply.

PJ will leave no stone unturned.

ive heard on the grapevine CC has suggested he picks the new coach and gary will ok the decision. it will then go to a committee consisiting of glyon and chris connolly to be ratified and it will be signed off pavlich and sandilands from freo

I don't think it will be so formal, if Roos wants it he will get it...if not it will be Eade. You wouldn't expect either of these guys to go through the powerpoint presentation.

I think we need to sort the board out before we can appoint the new coach. Look at it from a perspective candidate’s point of view, I think you would want the board and structure in place before you took the role on. The FD is a big enough mess without throwing the boardroom on top. Plus I am not comfortable with the current rabble of a board being allowed anywhere near this appointment.

I would like to see the board situation resolved ASAP so that we can then move the rest of the club forward. Anything else is really two steps forward two steps back.

Not wrong rjay. I wasn't very clear, but when I said that they'll invite the likes of Roos, Williams, Eade, Ratten in for a chat it will probably be just that, a chat to get their thoughts. I wouldn't expect any of those names to be put through a presentation.

Any rookie coaches that they interview though I'd expect to be death by power point.
