I'm waiting for Hugo 'The Boss' to give us his opinion on this.
He knows what's been going on and can give us the inside story I'm sure.
OK Rednuts, here we go, I can’t believe this imposter actually lasted 12 months!!!
I laughed when I read he’s going at the end of the week, the club has finally realised this guy had no idea and didn’t want to put up with him until season’s end.
Campbell was the wrong person for the job. Sure he had an impressive business background in the US, but the fact is he has been out of Australia for nearly 20 years and has not got a clue about football and the culture of football clubs. . He had no presence in the media and was not a club spokesman as a good CEO should be. The reason – he had no idea!!! At the end of the day he was a smooth talking Yank, who promised the world and delivered jack. He was too worried about making Punt Rd Oval into a rock concert venue then looking at the real picture, what a joke!!!
His decision (and it was his decision) to get rid of the marketing department is one of the main reasons the club has dire financial problems now . I was very, very critical of the club on this site when this occurred. Marketing depts of football clubs is the area that generates the most revenue and rather then increasing staff numbers (like other clubs have) to hopefully be in a position to attract more sponsors, Campbell got rid of this area and outsourced it. BIG MISTAKE and we’re paying for it now.
I could go on about other issues but won’t, the best thing for the club is that he is now gone.
Once again Corn Chips must be held accountable for taking this imposter on. The club has a multi million dollar debt, has had 3 Directors resign during the season, has now lost a CEO, has a very average list of players on the field, has a coach who’s been there for 5 years with poor results, yet people are still supporting this bloke, He’s the main problem, get rid of this clown NOW, please!! Don’t talk to me about stability, we are anything but stable (as has been seen by the multiple resignations). Putting the right people in the jobs in the first place will give us stability.
More heads will roll in the near future so stay tuned. Bring it on!!!.
