Ex-Channel 9 boss Jeff Browne is inching closer to a take over as Collingwood president.

Browne has been in direct negotiations with current Pies boss Mark Korda, who is under increasing pressure to navigate a graceful exit from the Holden Centre.

The club’s bitter boardroom stoush could come to a head at a board meeting on Tuesday night.

Who is on Brown’s ticket to join the board

Ok, can somebody explain to me why we have to have a negotiated transfer of power from Mark Korda to Jeff Browne as president? And why certain present members of the board are transferring to Jeff Browne's ticket? Why can't there be a spill of positions at the December AGM where the members vote on a new board and from the newly elected board members, they vote on who their president will be?

Internal negotiations are easier to negotiate for one's self-preservation and personal tenure. It appears that accountability to the Members has been lost along the way. This move defies the original intent of the Board spill.

Members can't be trusted. Could end up with a completely dysfunctional board comprising disparate single issue individuals devoid of the necessary skills. No collaboration. Set the club back years.

Was always going to get ugly.

Malthouse: Why Collingwood can rebound quickly under Craig McRae

Scott Pendlebury has been a great Collingwood captain, but he has another priority in 2022, says Mick Malthouse. And he has an ideal candidate to take over as skipper.

I won’t have a board I’ll just have a president and keep it simple I’ll then just have like a chief executive that is it.
Love to have a female president.
