Which doesn't necessarily mean CEO position. I would hope that means as High Performance or Director of Football.
I think the CEO position needs to be filled by someone with relevant experience. McKinna has zero grounding in football club administration.
Go get Liolio or bring back Murphy. Shame Johnny T wouldn't be interested in leaving the Wanderers, although he might end up as HAL CEO.

If he can get us running as well as the mariners did on a shit budget and get us to be as competitive as the mariners were in the first 8? or so seasons then i would gladly have him at our club. Wasnt lawrie the guy who also discovered tommy rogic and matty ryan or was the arnold?
I'll play devil's advocate for a sec.
Those Liverpool fans on here may take stock and think back to Martin Broughton, a proclaimed Chelsea fan who was charged by Royal Bank of Scotland and agreed by Hicks and Gillette to assist in selling the club.
Many Liverpool fans were skeptical of his appointment because at the time Chelsea and Liverpool had a very bitter rivalry. They thought this was a chance for someone to bring the club down. Instead, Broughton pulled the wool over the eyes of Hicks and Gillette and left them with nothing. He will always be fondly remembered by Liverpool fans after this. His chosen team was then a negligible point.
What I am saying is that despite his previous allegiances, McKinna still has professional integrity. To go about screwing the club over would reflect badly on him as well and could damage future positions in and out of the game.
A successful club financially helps all those involved.

Not saying in any way he would even contemplate screwing over the club.
Am just wary of appointing someone with little or no club administration experience to a position that will be crucial in reviving our fortunes for the coming months & years.

haha remember that bloke that did the number on tinks? old kenny edwards? get him back on board
According to James Gardiner and Ray Gatt (on twitter) the other week he could be either CEO or Technical Director.
Is he still Lord Mayor of Gosford? Surely he wouldn't be able to do both roles, we need a CEO or Technical Director who is 100% committed to the role and to the Newcastle Jets, not as a "job on the side" FFS!

Because Wilkinson is garbage and McKinna only ever dealt with poor people who have no voice in this world.
Bloke wouldn't last 5 minutes up here with millionaires like Hawk asking the big questions.
Anyone with any scent of gypo in their history should be blackballed from this club immediately and until we start standing up for these things we'll forever be asking for games on 'family day' and selling mid strength beer.
Would rather the club fold and remember the good times when not being a broke ass povo gypo scumbag meant something.
Their council website still lists him as mayor http://www.gosford.nsw.gov.au/about-...or-information - unless he is stepping down?

Just the other week the Fox team were highlighting how much Vadocz has been the unsung hero for Perth since he came here in January.
His presence in midfield has allowed Castro more freedom which resulted in that golden run they had when Keogh was scoring for fun and Castro and Harold were also chipping in. Certainly worth enquiring about.
