NZR CEO Resignation & Replacement

[Chester Draws]

@mariner4life said in NZR CEO Mark Robinson Resigns:

because rugby boards and clubs spend like they are a much bigger sport than they really are.

Hardly just rugby. European football is way out of control -- they are making serious money and yet can manage to go broke on it.

One of Devlin's better rants. Worth ten minutes.

[Bones]

I think I understand... but if anyone can translate, appreciated. What's this about a well known figure of influence?

[mariner4life]

If the extract about his nearly sacking from Fozzies book is right then it does not paint Mark in a good light

WTF. All George did was get lucky. The Warriors were their usual shit self under him early on (with some fucked up recruiting going on), then his coach resigned, and then the one he wanted turned him down, and then he lucked out with Webster and the hype train.

I'm not saying he has nothing to do with the current Warriors (qualified) success, but he hasn't been the driver of it.

I love how much you hate the warriors

I've been hate watching them for 30 years, but this is our year.

[mariner4life]

It will never be our year. We will never win the comp.

I'm finding it difficult to think of anything that does. His idea to invite an Aussie team or two into a NZ competition, the Foster-Razor debacle, private equity..?

How Fozzie painted Robinson is exactly how Robinson comes across. Wishy-washy.

@sparky Robinson and NZ rugby played a part in Devlin going solo. They would not engage with the Devlin anymore so he came to an agree with the station and left.

@tomk

So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

the year to win, or just pile on more hate?

[sparky]

@tomk Odd thing for a CEO and an organisation to do. Be more think-skinned and take the criticism with humility.

[Kirwan]

Need to a CEO that can mend some fences that Robinson kicked over.

I'm hoping it's the year to win ... but likely it's the year to pile on more hate.

[Bovidae]

I don't know who was more nervous speaking at the AB announcement - Kirk or Robertson.
