Amongst all of this, Lee comes off like a try hard.
He's got the most unapproachable demeanour in those settings (Chairman's lounge) and when he talks, he thinks he Churchill.
Has zero charisma and doesn't know how to taper his speech to his audience. Unlike uncle Nick, I very much doubt...
Don't know what the extent was of the 3rd party deals, but I did hear the club had gone to Harry in the past to help (Impression I got was that he did).
Aside from that though, don't know that Harry had ever been a super-fan like uncle Nick at the chooks
Up until the covid years, Harry was the only guy to have a seat reserved for him outside the chairman's lounge at the 8th wonder.
At that point, there was no official deal with Merriton. He was still putting in what I was told 'Couple hundred thousand' a year.
On occasions he'd write a cheque...
its a five year plan - we just keep hitting the reset button......
Kudos to Lee/Pascoe for pulling the pin on this failure. BUT lets also remove those that put this plan into place..... Oh wait that was Lee/Pascoe.....

They are two very independent guys. Don't assume they're best of buddies.
Robbie loves the club, and while that can come across as 'Jobs for the boys'. I personally have no issues with it.

He would be the ideal marketing manager or COO / CFO.
Robbie is not talking about CEO, he's looking at a head of football role (Like Buckets at Parra)
Got no doubt he can do the job.
Read something online quoting Mario as saying that Scott has known the biys since they were 8/9.
They wanted assurances that Scott was going to be there long term and Benjis support crew would be increased.
I'd caulk this up as a clear win for Scott.
I actually see it the other way. The fact the bros haven't signed elsewhere is because thier management have given us a list of concerns (Call them demands) and are waiting on assurances from us.
As per my post above, we've got zero leverage in negotiations ATM and need to appease player...
For where we are right now - we need a circuit breaker as the status quo is not working.
That's why I believe the board went after Fulton.
Our recruitment strategy needs to be two fold.
Initially we need to;
- Recruit players for the club
- Accommodate player managers (Even if it means...
