Damian Barrett on the Footy Show just said RFC CEO Benny Gale will be out of the country for two weeks and is off to the World Cup. Barrett added it's not a good look to have "your chief executive out of the country when your club is in turmoil" but it was something prearranged as part of our sponsorship with Jeep.

What a disgrace
-
Its a seriously poor decision and just goes to show whats wrong with the club. We have no hope. Its a farcical club run by no hopers IMHO.
-
will he too be wrapped in gladwrap?
-
What a ****
-
Looks like he really would've been a fitting successor to Demetriou.
-
Benny is dining out on members money here. I can just imagine him cramped in economy for the 20 hour trip to Brazil ::) Tip Benny pay the extra $50 for the exit row seats ::)
His job is to maximise commissions to the club not eat into them for his own benefit.
-
Sponsor paid by jeep, what difference did he make in first half of the season whilst he was here ::).the worlds a small place via the iphone, ask the prez of PA who lives in Sydney :shh

Will no doubt be swapping notes with Blatter on how to run incompetent & dysfunctional organisations.

One big difference my friend, the RFC are not corrupt in any way shape or form :shh

Well at least you finally admit they're incompetent & dysfunctional....welcome back to reality.

There some questions looming over the competency of some on the payroll no doubt ,

Yes they are the coaches play favourites, regardless of what happens on or off field everything is swept under a rug and pressers are called declaring everything is rosy, political correctness is just tokenistic to appeal to the masses that RFC is a socially conscious organisation on moral and humanitarian grounds and gifts are more than happily accepted.
Qatar World Cup bid ring a bell here.
If Benny had any gonads about this he would have announced to the members he was going to Brazil earlier in the year as I have known someone who from early in the year was going to Brazil thanks to their affiliation with Jeep as part of their company fleet. So this is not something that has been thrust just now on Benny as he would have been aware of this months ago with Jeep being the major sponsor of the RFC. It's all a shambles currently at Punt Rd. :help
-
just meh
-
Why did we not send Hampson with him? Disgrace.
-
Fun :police:
The season's done anyway. Care factor zero.
-
I'd be getting away if I were him too.

Did Bin Boy Barrett mention that the Suns's CEO has gone as well because of their sponsor is Fiat? Both Jeep & Fiat are part of the Chrysler group
Of course he didn't because GC aren't playing crap footy
But I digrese....
Simply not a great look at all.
The Club's season is a disaster, the members are fuming and Benny takes off to Brazil ... terrible look
-
It's a tremendous look , if a CEO worth his salt couldn't learn a thing or two about team discipline, tactics and leadership whilst at the World Cup for a fortnight then he should leave his keys at the door on the way back in, :shh

A tremendous look?
It is a terrible look when you as CEO harp on about how important your members are and you know they are hurting, angry and fuming the way the majority (I'll exclude you obviously) of ours are, then trekking off to the other side of the world isn't a good look. No amount of these :shh :shh will say otherwise
What's he going to learn at lunches, dinners etc. He's there as a guest of a sponsor not a country a sponsor
If you think he is going to get anywhere near teams outside of Australia you are kidding yourself.
Terrific, just terrific TM

Oh Brendon :-\

Gale should have sent Hardwick in his place.
He then could have personally overseen how choco performed as head coach while dimma was away.

i don't have a problem with it. Sponsors are vital.

Me too, and ill explain briefly below.
Firstly completely understand what WP are feeling and agree about the look etc, however...
Is Brendan supposed to ring the correspondent for jeep and say "oh well look, um were in a bit of a pickle here the club your spending millions of dollars on in sponsorship is up to poo at the moment".. of course not
Brendan Gale is not required to be here on gameday etc sniffing lineament and giving players hugs ffs.
Its clear to me that our main problem is there is a divide between coaches and players, whether intended or not...
Recruiting is also one of the biggest issues amoung other things.
So unless Benny was going to sack the coach, assisants or recruiters mid season.. let him go
He will be gone for a week??
-
Nothing to see here, we re a professional org , as I said earlier the worlds a very small place these days with telecommunications the way they are , not a problem
-
are the "apps" paying for his air fare?
-
To be honest I don't care.
Yeah, it's not a good look but what's a worse look is the team getting beaten senseless on the field.
Benny can't do anything about our onfield woes. He can be the guest of our sponsor and try to negotiate other sponsorship relationships that may lead to new deals with other organizations that will be there.
Storm in a tea cup.

Jumping at shadows, some really hysterical posts in this thread.
-
Leaving the Tigers getting spanked to go watch the aussies get spanked :lol
-
The carry on makes me wanna :banghead
-
What idiot wouldn't go to an all expenses paid trip to Brazil during the World Cup?
I can't believe the angst.
There is a hell of a lot of problems at punt road but this isn't one of them.

Saw Benny G standing on the sidelines this morning waving his scarf like a mad man as the Dutch destroyed Spain :shh
:lol
