Pert gets this Summer to sort out this mess. I will judge him next year

And how are you judging PJ and Roos right now who left him with this s@$t sandwich. And PJ left him with a $2mill revenue hole by pulling out of pokies and not replacing the revenue. But I suppose you think that’s Pert’s fault as well

Not quite sure PJ left him with anything. 

From my understanding he had nothing to do with the decision about Pert.

I don’t blame Pert at all...

this is far more Football Department problems at this Point. But as CEO he now has to go flat out to get it sorted

He didn't. Had he though we'd  probably  have Mahoney.

Damned  either way perhaps 

Current football department issues aren't Pert's fault.

The club's response in the coming months are for what he should be judged.

 

New Balanced signed on for three more years; he's had a good week.

I would thought the credit there lies with the Marketing Dept TPF.

Irrelevant. Marketing Dept  gets paid big bucks and does the sell.

you clearly don't understand how corporate negotiations work

the marketing dept certainly does not sign off major partnerships

Pert comes under heat from now on...

It's not irrelevant. They report to the CEO. They're paid the big bucks to do a job, which is held to account by the CEO. The higher the pay grade, the fewer the number of people above you.

CEO is held to account by the board. The board by members/stakeholders.

This is how organizations work. If the marketing department doesn't deliver, the CEO asks why, and the board asks why of the CEO. The board isn't going to the marketing team to see why a sponsor wasn't signed.

Actually I do a family member was Marketing Manager at a successful AFL Club for 20 years. He was responsible for attracting what is the longest running sponsorship in the league. His job, his initiative brought the sponsor in, he was rewarded and still is acknowledged for it. Not the long forgotten CEO of the time.

one instance from over 20 years ago; that's gotta be sydney with qbe, i presume?

i worked at a club where a sponsor was brought in by the media department

these are the exceptions, not the rule

the likes of media and marketing depts have little to do with corporate negotiations as rule

She's been known to misspell words. I'd put her on a front loaded contract.

Well she did miss that sitter!

Surely we are due for a crisis meeting. Surely after last night.

Listened to Pert on the Inside Melbourne podcast and he come across as pragmatic and assured. Despite the disaster that 2019 has been our club has managed the fall out well and looks to have a clear plan for turning things around in the off season.this goes for Goody as well who is clearly under alot of pressure but working hard to turn things around. I certainly think we are capable of turning 2020 into a successful year if the players/coaches/admin all do their bit and supporters get along to games.

Unfortunate choice of phrase.

My biggest issue with Pert is that he keeps Chaplin in the job.

And if we lost New Balance?  Where would your blame lie..?

Marketing and sponsorship is a significant element of Pert’s role.

Wouldn't that be Mahoney's responsibility as GM of football?
