    I’m pretty sure Lawrie is the CEO of Sydney Olympic these days

    It would be hard to find someone with considerable football experience as well as the considerable business management / ceo experience needed to run a large organisation. Unless you have CO-CEOs, then you can have a transfer of knowledge as well. I have seen organisations run like that.

    Lawrie put a lot of his own money into the jets, which many people seem to have forgotten when the owner decided to no show on his responsibilities.

    Oh my.....this is one of those take the bait moments surely?. Maybe Big Dog or Super Hubert? Whomever it is a Degree in a Business related discipline. Maybe a Masters to warrant a $300k pay packet. Some sport admin experience preferred. Lots of applications if they take the blinkers off. I would suggest complete disconnection with the local area is a good start. No agendas or bias. Its broken. Fix it.

    I could live with this. Far too many calling the shots who have a vested interest in a certain club.

    And lets add in the jets youth. We have another "private academy" crew putting in their mates trying to own the show. There's one thick donut strutting around trying to help run the place who could die from heart failure any minute. ffs role models n all.

    At least they are doing something that has been a dead horse for seasons - and the academy is a not for profit now, while I don't really like paying the money it is at least STAYING IN THE ACADEMY, which it wasn't doing before which is why the girls went under and the boys weren't far behind.

    nice try though.

    Didnt the last bloke try and fix the broken system and got rolled by the people who were in his firing line?

    You dont need a fancy certificate hanging on your wall to understand self interest is undefeated.

    I actually dig your sugestion and optimism, but those others aint giving up their power by choice so good luck to whoever tries to poke that bear again.

    NO. the last bloke - Eland didn't try and fix it. He broke it,
    Some NNSW TD's tried to make changes and fix it but he blocked them, hence they left.
    The new directors need to do a thorough search for a replacement. Not keep on the football merry go round of ceo's.
    A new candidate with new ideas, start fresh

    Anyone see the Linkedin post from Peter Filopoulos, from Football Australia and former CEO Football Victoria, and his tips on getting a career in football admin management...might help someone here get the top job for NNSW

    Tip 1 was get a MBA in sports management, 2nd step was volunteer at your local club

    MBA seems a big investment to get a volunteer role �� but there you go, there's the pathway...

    What makes it even more ironic, he doesn't have an MBA in sports management...he's got an accountancy qualification (Bachelor of Business - major in accountancy)

    But you know, he has been CEO of Perth Glory, Football Vic, South Melbourne FC and a bunch of board positions for other sports...so who am I to 2nd guess his suggested order of things 😂
