Please explain Mr Mayer !!!!!

[Geo]

Could not have Mayer told Robbie to pull his head in then… after all he's the boss ... if it is how you say Jerry that Robbie has the power then it's pretty weak leadership on Mayer's behalf

 

[Tigermama]

Mayer sais a lot, without saying anything…. A wolf in sheep clothing ( a Politician ) almost always deflects criticism and blame elsewhere. If the Smith report had nothing to do with Potters demise why then don't they send or email a copy of it, to each member? It would help ease the situation. Instead of all this secrecy lets have some honesty for a change.

 

[alexaki]

Every little bit of the crap the club copped this year came out the day Robbiegate broke out to the public.Not a day before not a day after.But you seem intent on starting two different threads on exactly the same subject(laying the boot into mayer who isnt to blame its robbie)within about 45 minutes of each other.Hmmm?Please explain Brewster.You sound rather clueless on the inner workings of this club.From a guy who just joined this forum just over a week ago.???

Note in the Peter Badel article about A Griffin coming to WT he quotes Mayer as saying, "severing ties with Potter, **who has endured a strained relationship with star hooker Robbie Farah,** was an agonising call." He is clearly laying the responsibility for this at the feet of Robbie Farah.

It will be interesting to see what Robbie's response will be. No hiding from this one.

I think we are all grown up to realise the line from both Farah and Potter that Farah and Potter played tennis and shared a coffee regularly was BS….

Recall Robbie seeking assurances from Humpty/Sheens a few years back that the club guarantee it will chase marquee players?
There is no doubt Farah was behind the push to oust Sheenius
There is no doubt Farah didn't and does not rate Potter
There can be no doubt Farah squealed to either directly or indirectly to the Board regarding Potter...

Mayer simply wants to put Farah in his place...Robbie's ego is only just smaller than his $900k paycheque....we all know this...and I for one applaud his tact in handling Farah...Robbie should just worry about playing football only...instead Robbie wants to run the whole joint...not on and if someone wants to put Farah in his place he has my support!

 

[Newtown]

Mayer said in the telecrap
Right now the fans and members are upset and don't fully understand how and why they got to this position !!! Horror- did they pull up stumps for the last five matches before Cronulla? To a humble supporter it certainly looked that way. If so, maybe this ongoing drama still has a long way to go and with very serious penalties to those who may be involved. Somebody in club management needs to fleece it all out irrespective of the ramifications..

Well mr Mayer
We wanna know !!!!

Don't you think that the players had something to do with it as well?

 

[Tigersmurf]

Potter had to go, and the reasoning behind it or pointing the bone at all parties involved in the reasoning behind it doesn't matter. The way the media played the situation out meant that Potter could not be maintained in that role.

Mayer's job is to be the politician, the used car salesman. He is the pointy end of the ship, he is responsible for bringing money into the club, monitoring expenditure, satisfying the NRL. All these responsibilities require a gamesmanship face irrespective of what is really going on behind the scenes.

Some on here want to hang the bloke for doing his job. He has many qualities that are beneficial to the club. Sure, decisions were made that he prbably would not make again, but he is trying to rectify these issues and strengthen the club.

Potter didn't deserve to go, but he couldn't stay either. That is business.

Again why wasn't this done at the time…Mayer WAS in charge then...

TS usually agree with a lot of what you say

But when you say Mayer's job is to be the politician , the used car salesman

Only the hopeless CEO's need to be seen in this light

Most of the other NRL CEO's aren't seen this way

If they are bringing Griffin , I hope the next step is to bring Paul White (they are best mates )

Then we will see what an actual good CEO can do

 

[Tigermama]

Let us see what benefits Mayer brings to the club in the next 12 months. The new board is not stupid, i am sure they will be keeping a close eye on him. Their reputations are on the line with this gig.

I get what you are saying happy, and I may not have worded my post very well.

My point was that being CEO can be a dirty job, and that you have to look at the entire picture and not just part of it before deciding whether Mayer is succeeding. Look at Penn with Watmough at Manly, or Noyce at the Sharks, they can be made to look very bad but that doesn't mean that overall they are doing a bad job.

Mayer has to make it look like the joint is under control and chugging along, no matter how bad things are. He does not keep a low profile, and that is probably why he cops a lot of criticism. I do think he has the best interests of the club at heart.

But I agree with you…lets see where we go from here....

well if his job is to make the joint look like its under control why did he do a marcel marceau because when the s*** hit the fan he was struck deaf and dumb ,the only time he said something was when farah had a go at him over the cut video he is all B/S

Perhaps he didn't want to stoke the fire that was raging out of control…He did come out and have an interview with EM from CH9.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Just emailed Mr Mayer
As suggested
I don't expect a response

Why should we have a man who runs our club
Who we have been supporting before Mayer even new how to tie his shoe laces
We have no say
Well we should have some say
Why should we support this man who runs our club were we spend our hard earned on who
Is not capable if delivering truth and integrity to the fans

Brewster, Brewster, Brewster…if you are new to the forum , you obviously haven't yet learnt the main rules here. So here are the rules as set down by Lord Jerry( the keeper of all knowledge about W/T ) .Firstly you know nothing about the club , no matter how many years you have been a supporter. Or how many games etc. you attend .
Jerry, by the way has been present at ALL and EVERY conversation
Concerning Mayer , Farah, Potter , The old and new Board as well as the bloke who runs the hot dog stand at L/O. How else do you think he knows so much more than anyone else on here..
Most of us are aware that probably no-one really knows what has been said or done , as I said "most of us "
Rule two : whenever in the presence of our esteemed leader and CEO you must bow down and pay homage to Grant and NEVER allow critism of him to go unpunished , and believe every lie, sorry I meant every word that he says.
Rule 3\. NEVER support The Antichrist( Farah ) who Jerry will tell you , is responsible for every sin that has occurred here since Keith Barnes was in the under 7s
The breaking of this rule really sends Jerry spinning in ever decreasing circles until the inevitable occurs.
So remembers these rules and you will escape the wrath of Lord Jerry.

He probably read the way the wind was blowing through the Board. Friends in high places. New Board and he can point the finger publicly.

 

[spearby]

alexaki he did want to stoke the fire he is the CEO not the bl**dy ball boy maybe he has to grow a pair weak as water

And there is no doubt that you have it in for Robbie Farah ….... how do you know all this stuff??? People read this and believe it - if it absolutely true well fair enough - but if it is clouded by your distaste for someone....... To be able to confidently backup this post you must have spent a lot of time hanging around and listening to Robbie Farah.

Alexaki , It's the CEOs responsibility to put the raging fire out immediately. He didn't do that. He was nowhere to be found. Not a pip from him. He's a strange one our Mr. mayer…

So its the fireman's fault and not the pyromaniac's? Maybe we should lock up all the firemen in the world and it would be a safer place.

Not saying it's his fault - as CEO it's part of his job to front up and settle things down ASP. No matter who started the c..p. That's what he gets paid to do.

And what about the person who started the crap?
