Wests Tigers Statement...Mayer Resigns

[tig_prmz]

Mayer was maligned, and I concede there were things he certainly could have done better, but he's certainly not the incompetent tyrant that some paint him out to be.

yep well said. unfortunately, people only remember how last year went down but we've changed the coach, the staff, the board- there is no point in changing the CEO as well. he's been good for us from the start- admin team has been more professional, more sponsors, all the stadium deals look better and imo his communication with the fans has largely been great.

i dont think the time was right for this to happen- esp considering we don't have a ready replacement.

The time for this to happen was last year when more people than Potter needed to be held accountable. One more big player to go.

I think the only fair way to assess the job Mayer did is to compare what he inherited to what he left. I don't think anyone in their right mind could say the club hasn't improved significantly in his time.

The question about wether he was a good bloke or not is irrelevant, plenty of dodgy blokes (and women) run very successful businesses.

We also won't know if its a good thing he left till the new CEO starts to get into the job. For all we know it could be the worst thing that ever happened, it could also be the best.

I think people simply like to presume too much. The club has issued a statement and Mayer has been quoted also yet many still want to speculate on his resignation largely without any further facts than what the club has already highlighted. He has left on his own accord but if someone can prove otherwise then please share.

I think the vitriol spewed out about Mayer is puzzling to say the least ,obviously most here new Mayer personally as the persevered traits of the man were well known ?. I follow this club as close as anyone and what I saw was someone that was moving to the future , the Campbelltown call out was what should of been said ,the signing up to ANZstadium another positive ,the new equipment sponsor another , not being railroaded by Liechardt council another,trying to move forward the Weststigers brand away form the past another , the improvement this year of the membership dept another these are just what I know.
His apparent dealings with the Teddy contract and of corse the Captain dummy spitter affair was IMO blown out of proportion with Teddy the fact that the salary cap is shot is an example, I always find when these movements happen quickly there is a motive behind the action. I do not give a rats if he was sacked or just decided to seek greener pastures ,good luck ,but let's not get carried away with how wonderful the chair and the board are these people are very very limited to there footy knowledge and this is not a good thing . Time now for some new blood for a CEO with fresh ideas and vision …but Mayer has done some good for the club .

Inclined to agree

Too right Willow, sometimes it's like a soap opera in here, people making huge assumptions and telling tall tales.

It's just like people speculating on player salaries, what a waste of time.
