There was an awkward moment, indeed, at a staff meeting on Thursday, when Sayers and board member and recruitment executive David Campbell provided a briefing on the unfolding situation at the club.
The question was posed by a staff member about the position of the CEO. In response to the question, Sayers said he did not rule out further changes, a stance that applies not only to the CEO position, but to football boss Brad Lloyd. Liddle then chimed in and noted that there was a new leadership at board level and that Sayers was doing what one would expect.
Unsaid was the brutal reality that the winds of change may sweep him out. Liddle knew the risks at the time. Cook is finishing up as CEO at Geelong after 22 years, and while he has a part-time consulting gig with the Cats on offer, Sayers, in effect, has offered him an opportunity to repair the one-time competition colossus, a club that has sacked four senior coaches in contract over nine years, and which has been viewed with a measure of derision within the AFL world for their clumsy handling of the coaching position.
While Sayers seeks to restore Carlton to the powerhouse that won eight flags from until and is trying to create the club anew, he has also turned to the past in his quest for a new coach - appointing their s champion Greg Williams to the board as football director and triple Carlton premiership coach David Parkin on to the six member coach-search panel. Carlton has long been ruled directly or heavily influenced by powerful money men, who are either presidents or shadow shoguns, such as the late Laurie Kerr, the driving force behind the replacement of seminal president George Harris in an upheaval that saw the great Jezza, Alex Jesaulenko, depart the club after the premiership.
The Pratts, once huge figures at Carlton, tip in fewer dollars than they did when ex-president Richard Pratt was at his zenith. His nephew Craig, has been on the club board since and like Uncle Bruce, Craig Mathieson is known to be close to Stephen Silvagni, another scion of a famed Carlton family, although the Silvagnis earned their stature on the field.
Geelong has lost a trio of assistant coaches this off-season. Less than a month after being sacked by Carlton, David Teague will remain in the AFL industry after landing another coaching job. Stand by for Cook to make his move. The Brownlow Medal is touted as the closest race in recent history, though one star might make a mockery of those predictions.
So who fits the bill? The Carlton Football Club has announced a veteran of sports management will take over from Cain Liddle as its chief executive officer. The Swans have moved to lock up four stars, while a premiership Tiger and an exciting young star have both signed new contracts. Board agitators are assessing their legal options after Carlton shut down their bid for a spill of the board and an EGM. After ruling himself out of the Carlton head coach role, Brad Scott made a stunning revelation about how far discussions went with the Blues.
All the latest trade news. Listen to the song here. Carlton has been an active player in recent trade periods but the Blues must be strategic about who to target this year — and who to let slide, writes Gary Buckenara.
Despite admitting to pursuing Alastair Clarkson for a leadership role, the Gold Coast Suns have confirmed Stuart Dew will coach the club next season, but other senior roles remains open.
