doozy of a report

1 hour ago, whatwhat say what said:

doozy of a report

and a snarky comment at the end.

The AFR is a [censored] rag, same as all the rest of them

Also, very bad form for a group of dees supporters to be undermining the new CEO before he has even started. No idea how they think that helps the club in any way.

Here you go: http://archive.today/bDopj

What a load of tosh.

Here we go again

Pretty mean spirited article, Guera has a very good track record in all his roles, he is made of the right stuff and we are getting him when we need him the most, he is well accomplished in the business world and will sharpen our focus going forward, only four days to go. So don’t want anything to divert with these shenanigans.

Read like the entire article was a regurgitation of a report written by some group of supporters intent on destabalising the club, with an added level of spite from the author to go with it.

lol the AFR

Any paper that supports the gas cartel can get in the bin

Let's just forget the article and who or whatever the once mighty dees are supposed to be. Don't assume...

There's really not a lot in there. He's presided over an organisation that has made a loss post COVID (it has effected a lot of businesses bottom lines), his pay has gone up ( I presume the board ok'd this) and he's employed some family members (wouldn't be first or last).

Personally I would have liked to see someone with a football background and/or someone who knows how to build a commercial operation successfully.

He's in the chair now so I guess we see what he can bring.

Apparently Guerra officially starts tomorrow, Monday 8th of September.

Geez he was having none of it was he?

I love that he confirmed Steven King won the job and Buckley didn’t.

he's a very polished media performer

didn't put a foot wrong in that interview

very early days but looks like we have a proper CEO

He did well. I hope someone can tell him that he can just say ‘ultimately the board decisions will be borne out with the outcomes’ because this ‘you can’t make decisions like this (firing coach, new CEO, new coach) without a unified board’…

You can Paul, and plenty of entities have done that but anyway…

The conversation around CP5 and Oliver being in King’s 25 players was an interesting one - definitely a hedge but also intimating that we are ready to work with what we have rather than push out ‘25 cents on the dollar’ and slide further down the ladder. I applaud it.

3aw have put the full interview up. I'll have a listen. But this guy deals with businesses so I'd hope he'd be a good speaker.

Hopefully the interview shuts up McClure & others who are still going on about us missing out on Buckley.

Caroline literally got out of him that King won the role and not some timing based dissection that was implied in reports.

No mention of King being the best presenting coach he’s ever seen in 40 years? 🙄😂

Guerra has been in the role for a week, and in that time we appointed a coach with 0 leaks, and he’s told the negative buffoons in the media to put a sock in it.

10 stars for the first week in the role for mine.
