Seriously SF, these people are obviously successful in the financial sector and have/do sit on boards. I am so glad that they are sitting on our board. Hell we needed some smarts. Business side sorted, but do they know footy ? Can a disgruntled player turn to those on the board and ask for advise on footy related issues ? Ask ones who have been there before, like in the days of sludge. Mate, you need the business heads as well as the old footy heads, the players can relate to these people. We need these people and that's why I've been so vocal for the inclusion of Greg Pierce in some form of administrive role. Yes the front office needs some adjustments.
I do think we need more balance, we've moved from one extreme (Barry Pierce, Steve Rogers etc) to the other. Not sure whether that's on the board or the executive team... really it just comes down to finding the right old players, don't want people who need the income or just want to gossip (no reference to any of the above). I am guessing (and this is a guess) that the tickets will change a bit for the election, hopefully a couple of well-credentialled greats might put their hand up too.Seriously SF, these people are obviously successful in the financial sector and have/do sit on boards.

Maybe someone you mentioned recently as well could fit in somewhere next year... John Lang.The lack of football nous on the Board is a fair point, but to be honest I would be happy with it being dominated by people who are financially skilled in our current state and on in to the future. I think if we did have a CEO, that's where the football knowledge ought to be starting to kick in. That said, my knowledge of business governance is pretty limited, so who knows!
One guy who I thought did a great job as CEO was Grant Mayer. He turned them around financially pretty substantially (including landing a pretty massive sponsorship from memory) and built a very strong playing and coaching group. And I would say Manly have got progressively weaker since his departure. Then again, he had the Penn/Delmage money behind him.
I dunno.
I've always thought Helen Clark would make a handy forward in League or Union...

Now we are getting somewhere SF. I suggested Greg Pierce because
1. He has chucked his hat in the ring
2. He appears to have the credentials
3. Sharks legend
4. Has the ability to engage the shire again to the sharks.
Johnny Lang, well all of the above.
