costarg Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 14 hours ago, The Beaver 2.0 said: Okay, for starters, yes he's cute! (My wife agrees 😉). And, second, I like the profile, experience, pedigree, and youthfulness of this hire. He seems ambitious, which is good, and he should be able to put all that high-powered psych education to good use, too. The big question: Will the board let him do the job that needs to be done? Unless he utterly craps the bed--not likely--then I see the first phase as a three-year plan. I wish him well!! This is really that part that concerns me. His profile looks perfect for the role, I really hope people get onboard and don't start sticking sticks in his wheels at every opportunity. I feel this will be his biggest challenge. It takes more than one strong and good leader to sail a ship, not sure if the people and parts around him are solid enough. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel this will be his biggest challenge... To what extent does he actually get to set the agenda though? In Kevan Pipe's day, this appeared to be the case, but once Victor Montagliani became the CSA president, any full-time employee, no matter how senior in job title terms, appeared to just be the hired help in decision-making terms.

Why dont they just grab all those deep pocketed sponsors that throw money at national teams we are always hearing about? Volleyball makes youth players pay to be on national team, basketball cant afford to send NBA players (our best players) to olympics?? Cycling and climbing teams have laid off staff..shameful!! "costs for travel, logistics, and proper food and training for athletes has skyrocketed" Wow, I sure hope westhead took that into consideration when he wrote all those articles about how shitty soccer is run in canada. I wonder if all these other federations get the same CSA treatment, sack everyone, goverment inquiries, pit the mens and womens teams against each other, insinuate wrong doing and smear any decent person that tries to get involved.
