SFCU debacle - CEO gone
Sydney FC - Uffie's Sky Blue Army
Sydney FC Axe CEO Dirk Melton
Mar 5 2012 15:54
SYDNEY FC have been plunged into yet another crisis with the sudden decision to sack CEO Dirk Melton in a row over his alleged management style after complaints from club employees
A statement from the club today read: "The board of Sydney Football Club Pty Limited has today announced that Sydney FC has terminated, effective immediately, the employment of Dirk Melton, its Chief Executive Officer.
"The unanimous decision of the board follows a number of formal complaints of a serious nature by employees which were investigated and revealed behaviour in Mr Melton's management of staff which was completely unacceptable.
"The board acknowledges that, during his period as Chief Executive Officer, Mr Melton brought enthusiasm and passion to the role and had set on a path to achieve the strategic long term goals of the club.
"However, the board determined that Mr Melton's behaviour towards staff was inconsistent with his obligations and could not be tolerated by the board, and as a consequence the club could not continue with him as Chief Executive Officer.
"Stefan Kamasz will undertake the role of Acting Chief Executive Officer, until the board makes a decision as to Mr Melton's replacement."
What's he doing now?
agreed but maybe SFCU need a man like Tony P to put them on the right path.
Is any job in football?
@SydneyFC announce@tpignata9 has been appointed as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer effective 12th June 2012.
They really are nuts if they get rid of him after a season. Should be interesting.
My bad, didn't know there was already a SFC CEO fred.
Gone by Easter. :)
Very happy, finally found a home.
Hired a competent CEO, got rid of Bridges. Been a good couple days for Sydney fans.
Poisoned Chalice at Sydney. Good luck Tony.
Hi guys thanks for the well wishes. Look forward to coming to the Ring of Fire next season. Be nice when I am over.
I bet you always wondered what it felt like to be a visiting side here...I'm sure you'll get the full experience

[quote]Sydney FC has today agreed to a one-year loan deal that will see midfielder Nick Carle join United Arab Emirates club Baniyas Sports Club.
That will be a big payday for him, he will be back for the 2013/14 season.
Sydney fans raging on facebook over Nicky Carle. I love dishing out the shit when something like this goes down
Will be interesting to see how Sydney reacts to this, it creates a bit of an opportunity for them. They are getting a 6 figure loan fee and it opens up a marquee spot. They had a import slot available after they released Hiro a couple weeks ago. They could blow the loan fee on getting a top player in as a replacement.

Examples?
" let's get rid of our best and most popular player. cool good idea"
" way to go backwards from last season"
"Oh I get it, copying Arsenal... find good players then flog them off, never mind the title or the supporters."
Tony P tweeted a link to that story, maybe there is a grain of truth to the article?
Wow that would be a coup
Would be massive if Tony P could pull this off. Best part would be the fact we would get to see him here Rnd 1.

I see.
Has he made any today?
37 years old? Arf. Manny or vince will go through him in round 1 and it will be all over.
Can't see it happening to be honest.

He played more games in Serie A last season than any A-League player last season.
Tony P is fucking awesome.
:)
Del Piero would light up the A-League. he would do so much better than Fowler did. Del Piero was a contant presence for Juventus last year at 36.
However, I think he will go to Sion or in the MSL.
I'd be surprised if Sydney can pull this off. But it'd be great for the league if they did.

I agree, just get the thugs out and it is all over.
If Christian Chivu or Marco Materazzi couldn't destroy him I doubt anyone can
