MFC CEO MIA

It's disappointing that more than a month after announcing Guerra as Melbourne FC's new CEO, he still hasn't officially started in the role. In today's professional sporting environment, and given where our club currently stands, this delay seems unprofessional and shows little consideration for both our membership base and staff.

Can anyone provide insight into what's causing this delay? The lack of communication around the timeline reflects poorly on the club's management during what should be an important transition period.

    No it doesn't. This was all covered with the appointment announcements. He starts in September.

    Delete thread.

    On every media and club report at the time we were told he wasn't starting until September. We'll all be at the snow so I've left a note on his desk telling him to sort out Caulfield or we'll be ramming a stock right up his ginger when we return from the snow. Gee it's a nice desk, Schwabby was there trying to claim it but I gave him back his whiteboard and sent him on his way.

    But what a stuff up. Fancy hiring a new CEO during the season, having taken 6 months to hire a new one, and the new guy can't start for another 6 months.

    So should we have settled for the next best option to start right away or wait 6 months for the best option?

    We should have gone with our first option.

    If he cant start for a coupe of months, in this critical time, to me that means he isnt the right person for the job.

    Even if that was the case, no doubt we have agreed to some ridiculous contract clause where we need to pay full ticket for 3 years, even without working a day. Circa Terry Wallace and Sydney Swans when Roos took over.

    We should appoint Luke Jackson as Player CEO with $500k of his salary outside of the salary and soft caps and the remainder as player.

    What sort of world do you live in?

    These highly important roles within businesses have months long termination clauses that employers/employees have to abide by. I’d be more concerned if he was already currently employed and they simply said ‘no worries, you can have him’.

    Rubbish. He has a Chamber of Commerce Government job. No doubt there are succession plans. He could definitely leave. He needs to get his priorities right and you need to pull your head in. FYI I live in reality where ones head is not stuck up ones behind.

    Not just a ‘government job’ friend, he is head of VECCI who are hosting the World Chambers Congress in September, hence why he can’t just step away and he’d be burning some big bridges if he did - the opposite of what you’d want someone in his position to be doing.

    That will come and go and noone will remember it. All deals to be cut are cut prior and its ceremonial cake cutting. He should be behind his desk at the MFC.

    In what world, does a person in a position as CEO, regularly start after a month?

    Bizarre.

    “Yeah, I’ll just hand in my four weeks notice. See you in a month, boys!”

    People who hold these positions all have long notice periods, 6-12 months in most cases so there is nothing unusual with the delay

    No. What is ridiculous is that we dont have a CEO on thre ground when all this MFC Home base is falling apart. To make it worse he has to be at the Chamber of Commerce for a "Gathering" in 3 months time after appointment.

    What if in the unfortunate event he passed away. Would the World Chambers Congress in September not go ahead?

    He should be behind the desk.

    He is. At his current place of employment; like standard practise and convention with regard for the normal context of these contracts.

    Its a gov job! He could of left if he wanted to. He is not the CEO of BHP or even a private company. He is certainly replacable. Next drone up! It's ridiculous. He is ticking his own career box at expense of the club.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
