    Moral of the story: Tank and then get millions in bailouts to overpay for a CEO and head coach who are only there for the huge pay packets, but then also overs on other staff so that teams who just go along doing the right thing struggle to retain their people. I'm sure we could keep all our people if we were given some sort of money to equalise the conditions. If only some concept existed in which clubs without bottomless credit cards from the afl or too big and get over exposed got something to help equalise things. It's a shame mankind doesn't have a term or concept for what this thing could be...

    The industry could revamp the operational side by making jobs have a set pay scale like the public service then getting over paid is not an option to move on. Also you have better control on spending. The downside is you better hire the right person or you can be stuck with them for a long time.

    This isn't the 80s. I'm confident we'll find a good replacement.

    I wouldn't be using the public service as an advertisement for anything, especially efficiency.

    Strange he'd come to us for one season after being at Essendon for 10 and then move on. Perhaps Bevo didn't rate his performance.

    Would you necessarily have to be stuck with them? If it's a pay scale rather than a salary cap why not pay them out if they're rubbish?

    I applied for this job and offered to do it for $500 a week, they should have hired me.

    I had the misfortune to do some consulting in the public hospital system, it would take an incredible genius to design something that could be more inefficient. But hey it's a job for life and that's more important.
