Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Andrew Ireland came to us from Brisbane and was successful at both clubs
What was his background in football admin prior to that ?
Tom Harley doesn't need experience. He has my phone number.
From what I have seen, Tom Harley has the right temperament to make decisions and run an organisation of this size.
Tom appears to know what to say in the moment and who to ask for advice: Andrew Ireland (Ludwig if Andrew is unavailable). I would imagine that Brian Cook is also a mentor for Harley.
The one key area I would like Tom as the new CEO to improve is the communication with Swans supporters particularly using social media. Andrew Ireland at the beginning of this last season said how important social media was and yet our website sucks, player information is sadly so out of date, updates on inuries is lacking transparency, information of both the AFL and NEAFL is not timely, more reactive. The NEAFL side information is an afterthought and in fact is far far better and informative on this site. Lets hope Tom has this as one of his priorities on his bucket list. Im sure all supporters would appreciate it and you never know it might drive more members/ supporters!!
