Difference was that the cheap seats for 14 Nov were similar to the Nix games, this time they are just at the ends.
OK - I think we were pretty close to the gold zone for nix games too.
Chopper may be right.
Goneski... sounds a little weird actually...
Weird time to walk. Guessing some disagreements around the table..
Grant McKavanagh resigns as Chief Executive of New Zealand Football
July 5, 2013 AUCKLAND -
New Zealand Football today accepted the resignation of Grant McKavanagh CE of New Zealand Football. After over two years in the role, Grant has decided to take a short break from sports administration. “I have really enjoyed and thrived in this role and I am proud of my part in the continuing development of the Whole of Football programme, the renewed partnership and strategy development with the Federations and the rise of Women’s Football and Futsal. Maintaining the organization’s financial surpluses and the international programs and Olympic successes are other highlights. “The last two years has seen New Zealand Football evolve quite dramatically with new structures and processes put in place, and going forward I feel the next period of evolvement for NZ Football requires a different skill set than mine to deliver the next cycle of development. “Having also finalized the venue and structure for the Intercontinental Playoff in November, the time is right for me now to step aside.” New Zealand Football Chairman Frank van Hattum on behalf of the board and New Zealand Football thanked Grant for his commitment, his enthusiasm and his passion. “Football and indeed Sport Management is a complex and difficult area to work in with many competing stakeholders, the inevitable struggle for sustainable funding and resources and a large agenda. “Grant has maintained the agenda and strategy development over the last two and half years. The continuation of the whole of Football programme, the rise of Futsal and women’s football, the games commitment to a new three year strategy plan and maintaining New Zealand Football’s modest surpluses are all areas that Grant can take pride in. “ Grant will cease his duties as Chief Executive on the 12th July but will continue to assist the board to transition to a new CE and in advancing several projects. We wish Grant the best in his future endeavours.
1 weeks notice aye? Good riddance
Funny how I said there was dissent in the ranks and I was told I was talking bollocks. Nightz where are you now?
I'm more scared about what we get as a replacement.
You do wonder timingwise if it's got any links to the decision on host city.
Smells like " Can't work with the decision the Board has made " kind of resignation to me

It is the Board's perogative to make decisions and the CEO implement.
In all truth the Board would back the CEO as much as possible to meet the objectives that have been set.

I'm putting my money on De Jong.
Herbert's ears are ringing................
I believe it has nothing to do to the WCQ decision.

Absolute shit house timing if it is not.
is it though? New financial year sorted. WCQ decision sorted.

I understand each bid city have put together an organising group so I'd imagine they be running the day to day stuff. So say he continues until the WCQ, and then we qualified, wouldn't there be pressure to stay on until the WC too?
How long do you ask someone to stay in a job if someone doesn't want to be in that job?
I know what you're saying and I guess there is never a "good" time for a CEO to leave, but this just seems an extra odd time to me anyway
I think everyone just wants to believe that some sort of dispute took place. Everyone loves a bit of drama.
