I'm fine with the CEO being non football.
It's the board and only the board that worries me. Pascoe has done enough background stuff at the club, he is fine.
Lee H. worries me a bit, his upgrade on Nofo was a kind gesture but showed an absolute lack of football intelligence. We cannot win if we are not competitive. Lee could have offered Nofo a role say "club ambassador" post retirement. Instead he offered an older winger a 500k a year contract for a long time period. Completely NUTS.
A stable board + back of house is what we want. We want to try things like Madge's coaching to ensure it would work or not work. For at least 2 if not 3 years Madge was fighting with half a squad. Heck I think 2022 the board's only misstep was appointing Gardiner over Shane Flanagan. No idea why Cayless did not harden up our squad, IMHO he seemed to be the right person to work with the forward pack (if I had concerns with defensively improving our backs).
Parra's board is a nightmare, likewise Manly. They are still performing better then we are.
