What do you place your knowledge on? seems to have plenty of other stuff on his plate both here and globally.

That is not how businesses work. There is always someone in charge, the clue is in Dome’s title, General Manager. Everybody reports to him and he reports to the board and owners, who only have governance functions. Morrison does not have time to be as hands on as some seem to think. Anyone putting forward this theory have any actual experience in big business and governance?

So who is in charge of the club? Not the owner/s but the person who has the overarching responsibly for running the club. That’s Dome isn’t it?  We have moaned for a number of years about the perceived failings of the club but lets just cast our memories back ove4 the last 18 months or so.  Extending the GK contract after only 2 games, coach losing the dressing room and being given another contract when we were pretty poor. Losing 3 of our best performing players to other A League clubs, Failing to put together a decent enough proposal for the OFC league (someone here shared a rumour that the application was very poor - might have been YH who’s bully is usually spot on except for his unexplained theory on the width of the German/Danish border lol. A seemingly poor recruitment strategy this year, have I missed anything? I know that if was in charge of a clusterfudge like this, my employer would give me the boot, as a boss, I would certainly be giving him the arse.

Insane take. As if there is nothing Dome can do that influences the on field success of the team(s) at the club. It is just completely random, they might as well be rolling dice, is it?

I know you want some bloodletting, but you know there is separation between areas of the club - yes, if Dome's side is doing well it gives the footballing side more resources but that's not a guarantee for on field success.
We have a director of football that has the purview of running the footballing side. There is a football committee above that (Chiefy had to present to the committee to keep his job in a split vote), which I'm not sure who is involved at present (at one point Noah Hickey was on the committee but he's an AFC shareholder now) and it may include Dome (maybe as a non-voting member so he keeps abreast of operations). Dome might be involved with signings, but more likely only on the financial side as Gill seems more active in that area.
Think you may be surprised Morrison has more say in things than you seem to credit him for.
