Harrison Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Does Scott Munn actually have any power? Does he have a big say in who is appointed? I think the criticism of him is misplaced because I seriously doubt he’s wielding any sort of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityHeart Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 If he doesnt have power, then that is a CFG mistake and they have to understand that position is arguably more important that the coach and must best possible person for the job. He must understand a-league success and be able to drive a winning culture. If he does have power - and obviously he has to some extent, it seems eerily similar to what he had at Heart - very little has changed in the key metrics in spite of the CFG influence. We still have a poor culture, no fight to win - seemingly nobody is ever responsible for poor results resulting in 3 total coaches under the decade long reign of the CEO and continual poor performance and no traction at all with the supporter base at large. Can not see any metric in which you would give him a pass, let alone doing a good job. The club needs change. Either way - he has to be replaced.

rass Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 For mine, it has to start with the people that touch the football operations. So Joyce and Petrillo MUST go. Not sure about Munn, but there's been so many examples of gun CEOs- e.g Brian Cook at AFL level coming in and turning the football fortunes around, so it's obviously very important. What makes it worse for this guy is he is the only constant of years of under performance, so I think he too needs to be looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 FMD, they dress it up don't they? Scott has been CEO of the Club for the past 10 years, providing skilful leadership and having overseen significant change, most notably following the acquisition of then Melbourne Heart by CFG in 2014. He has driven substantial growth across the sporting and commercial arms of the Club, with ever improving results on the field, including the men’s first ever silverware in 2016 and back-to-back Championships for the women’s team. Scott has also been a steadfast champion of the Club’s fan and community engagement, and oversaw the construction of the City Football Academy facility, and the foundation of the women’s team, during his tenure.

IMO Scott Munn is probably seen as a good CEO for the start-up phase of a new venture, and possibly not so good for a more mature organisation. I think he'll always get a great deal of credit for choosing the partnership with Latrobe and the subsequent development of CFA, and the "City in the Community" program. But time he moved on.

bt50 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 My turn to be a cynic for a change, but IMO there's a pretty good chance this is far more a PR move due to the intense heat on Scott at the moment amongst City fans, whether I think its warranted or not. Keeping the fans happy if you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityHeart Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Im hoping this brad rowse is the interim CEO. They need to bring in a new club leader from outside the cesspit. I can only imagine they are using Munn as a relatively cheap option to setup their china stuff, being 3rd division and all and will eventually cut him lose when they get serious. Probably had no choice but to take it, as was feeling the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Big concern is that this replacement has been with the club since the heart days and has been Munn's right hand all this time - can't really call that a shake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssySG Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Agree with the sentiments above. Unfortunately quite underwhelmed with Munn's successor. Feel like City have a real culture problem of bottling all good momentum we have, and the only thing that can change that is a fresh set of eyes and strong leadership - not another CFG yes-man. However, I will give Brad a chance to hopefully prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Brad Rouse' CV: Brad is Director, Commercial & Operations for Melbourne City Football Club. As one of the founding executive team, Brad was integral in transforming the Club from a start-up business to a viable, profitable, enviable sporting entity. The highlight after four years of operation was the Club's acquisition by the global City Football Group (EPL's Manchester City and New York City FC in the MLS).Previously Brad Rowse was the General Manager of Bastion Brands, a specialist branding consultancy, helping to drive change in business through the acclaimed BE Branding philosophy. Brad engaged with organisations to rethink their strategic approach to branding. This process involved creating a belief about why they exist for customers, instils a desire for customers to belong and changes customer behaviour from considered and rational to emotive and loyal. Brad helped organisations reconnect with their customers by challenging executives and teams to question their approach to consumer connection, team culture and brand differentiation. Brad has also worked in senior marketing and commercial roles within the AFL. Prior to his role as Commercial Director at Melbourne Football Club, Brad spent 5 years managing and driving Geelong Football Club’s marketing and brand strategies, culminating in a complete organisational re-brand in 2007.With a highly developed commercial acumen and entrepreneurial flair Brad's achievements include negotiating some of the largest sponsorship deals in the country and creating a raft of new, innovative, industry-leading business initiatives. Prior to his stint at the Cats, Brad worked for 10 years developing and managing resort operations for Hyatt International in South East Asia. He has also held sales management roles in both the tourism and IT sectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically its a just take the supporters/members for a ride with shit football/style, management but as long as its profitable thats all that matters because the owners are raking it in while you just pay to make them richer irrespective of of your hard earned dollars go into watching shit.

Excuse me there mate, show me again, where do I say that I find this is a problem? I believe what I wrote is spot on how our club stands in this league. If they wanted to build a squad at expense with top notch marquees and guest players they would have done that already. They did not because sustainability has priority.
