Really and you call yourself football supporters.
Ok let me explain this to you all very slowly
Eddie goes on "vacation" which in fact was just neddie taking some time away to write the report from the review
So Eddie gets back goes into Pert's office and says "look Gary as much as I like you I like others much more so the review will say all this mess is all your fault basically" so you can resign or when I release the review you will be sacked"
Pert takes the honourable way out resigns.
Eddie says it's a sad day in Collingwood history blah blah.
The media are in a frenzy for a couple with speculation on who will be the new CEO. Mean while Buckley is given breathing room to achieve results or at least try. Come round 21 we can't make finals so Buckley being a loyal Collingwood man and true to his word offers his resignation as head coach.
Eddie comes out and says its shame and Nathan shouldn't be lost to th club and he will be kept around in some capacity.
Mean while Neville nobody is appointed senior coach
Days later Eddie announces the search for a new CEO is over and introduces Collingwoods new CEO none other than Nathan Buckley.
The role of CEO will be revamped as the review recommended to included all coaching, training, tactical decisions, game planning and match day moves of the senior football team. The new head coach Neville is held accountable for any football issues involving the senior side.
If after a couple years the senior side still isn't doing well Neville is let go and another Barry brought in under Nathan's guidance.
It's a perfect scenario. Buckley still coaches but someone else gets the blame it's a win win
Sooner or later we will win a flag at which time Eddie will dedicate to Buckely and his tireless efforts over many millenniums |
This is funny!  |

I would be quite happy to have him (Buckley) as a CEO, or an AFL type commissioner, or the VFL coach or head of the woodsmen coterie, or marketing manager or anything...
The problem with becoming an AFL commissioner, and no one doubts his ability and integrity, is that the job could consume him.
So instead of being our eyes and ears in the inner sanctum, the one who could call to account all those baffling umpiring, recruiting and tribunal decisions...
He could turn native, and like Bill Haydn as Governor General, become one of them. |

In his last life at the club we were winning premierships.
In his present life at the club we are going from bad to worse. Who could blame him for being downhearted? |
Well,the CEO's salary will probably make him feel a lot less downhearted.I know it would for me. |
And the loyal fans get to fund this 'snouts in the trough, jobs for the boys' shemozzle with their memberships fees and royalties from merchandise, sweet deal eh?

A pretty stock standard corporate move really, the Footy Show part is just a nod to the masses

He applied, but was unsuccessful, for the MCC CEO job.
Recent departures from the AFL may have opened up some other opportunities. |
any reason? why wasnt he happy at Collingwood? |
After a pay rise I suspect. |
If he wants a larger wage for being shit at his job, as a reward for ineptitude and lack of accountability, might we suggest entering federal politics? |
And I for one welcome our Pert overlord......

Great servant of the club, and wonderful to watch as a player for both ourselves and Fitzroy.
But seasoned businessmen to fill these chairs please; not former footballers.
Or heralded academics and cult-followed ska musicians could also execute the role with little fanfare in my opinion, with little bloodshed in the boardroom.
No names of course - you're the academic - you work it out!  |
So its agreed; RudeBoy for Pres, 20 year fixed term

Interesting to note the man conducting the review has been placed as interim CEO - I would be thinking we should all read something into that. In some businesses, that would be called conflict of interest - but whether it's a good conflict or bad conflict is not certain...

MARCH 14 2014 - Collingwood CEO Gary Pert predicts Pie flag within 3 years.
Good riddance with dumb comments like that and still thinks Bucks is a great leader. Well, he might be a leader but not a coach to take us forward. Let's hope more heads roll as this club deserves better.
p.s. Apologies if already noted in previous pages.

The best part of this is that the guy who was going to run against Ed earlier this year is conducting an "independent review" while he fills in as CEO.
This is actually a whole lot better than "The Club" in a lot of ways.
There's lot of people here who seem to be working out that this what their 900 bucks a year is paying for.
But you'll keep paying!
