The President Eddie McGuire Debate v2.0

[Hiss]

Our last five years have been clear enough evidence that change and a new fresh leadership team is desperately needed. We have become stale and underachieving. Anyone who can’t see that is either naively biased and suffers from misguided loyalty syndrome. Very common in Australian politics and business. Our Club is bigger than one or more egos and personal power ambitions. Team first ! Team before self! Whatever happened to those concepts? Like Ted Parker had Laurie Holden speak to him, I think Bucks should have a word to Ed and ask him to step aside. Personally I think Ed has been a good President and of course he has my support and vote, but the Football is a business and we need a new vision.

What about the drovers dog!
Apologies to Bill Hayden.

Didn't Sydney go 0-6 last year and still made the preliminary final, so I don't think it's so simple to say Buckley should go after 6 games if we can't win more than one game in that time. Better to see where we are at the half way mark and then assess.

I'm sick to death of Kim jong ed and all his bullshit; his lies and failure to be accountable to others; acting as though he is above and beyond anyone and everyone else. He's nothing but a self serving egoist and megalomaniac; a narcissist with a delusional sense of grandeur, hell bent on clinging to power for as long as possible. Jobs for mates and sycophants only. The king of spin. We need to finally wake up to this clown and take back our great club. Enough is enough.

Everything post 2011 has been a disaster and it's all happened on his watch. He won't let go until Buckley proves himself as a coach but we all know that ain't gonna happen any time soon. This guy cannot accept when he is wrong. The review was a charade. Crowds are down because people have had enough. They're turning their backs on the club and not coming back. The Holden centre is sterile and soulless. We need new blood and a fresh perspective. We're a corporate brand. Don't give me that working class side by side mantra bullshit. We're a joke. The laughing stock of the league. Why can everyone in the footballing community see the truth except us.

If there's anyway we as a community can somehow work to orchestrate a change of president and coach then I'm all for it. We must be able to do something.

Sydney have Buddy, Kennedy, Hannerbry, McVeigh, Heeney, Grundy, and more.

We don't.

We are well on track for our next premiership which is due in ... wait for it ... 2030.

On the way, we may make finals in the twenties and maybe even make a GF in 2022 and 2023.

This is our plan, don't you see?

Twenty years is much too long. Eddie was good for the club in his first decade but now he seems to think he IS the club.

I want a President who does not work in the media and is not a former politician. I would also prefer a President who valued ordinary supporters from the suburbs as much as he/she values supporters from the Big End of Town.

A former player who has succeeded in business would be acceptable but not if that business is football related as it creates potential conflicts of interest (so not Craig Kelly)

[ronrat]

We could do with 2 very strong Vice Presidents. One to look after football and other side distractions like media, Netball, academies etc and another purely to look after the membership and the commercial side. If Ed stays trot him out to head the sponsors lunch and maked the odd comment and to represent us on the commission.

I am genuinely interested to know the reason why some Nicksters still think Ed is right for the job (so far 12 have voted he stays in).

I’m not asking because I want to have a go at your opinion. I just genuinely want to know how Ed staying in power will help the Club. I am sure there are some valid points.

[What'sinaname]

Eddie wouldn't be president if it wasn't for his damned kids. He was set to step down after the Carlton loss last year but stayed on as his kids couldn't take off their filthy Collingwood jumpers.

Damn them all!!!
