David Wark moves to Canberra

[Wedgie]

If Norwood thought so highly of David Wark, why were they so keen to see the back of him.

Its been discussed before, here's a link:

oops and who opened that forum

If Norwood thought so highly of David Wark, why were they so keen to see the back of him. I was told there was friction between board members and most votes on various issues centred on whether you were pro or con Wark and not what was in the clubs best interests. If true, its far from a healthy situation.

There's a bit of a friction on the Norwood Forum too over the reason(s) he left.

I wouldn't take any notice of that goose Drebin. He seems to appear for no other reason than to bag David Wark.

Apologies for delayed reply BP .. Warky was exceptionally communicative for a club which really had/has limited resources and was renowned for being extremely quiet/uncaring toward it's everyday member/supporter (unless you fit a certain profile for the inner sanctum) ... I think Warky (for the first time in my memory anyway) was the catalyst for removing these barriers and I hope his good work is continued into the future.

There is unfortunately an element of truth in G's post, something none of the supporters want to see at our club, so hopefully those at the top who have carried on this way can now operate in a manner befitting their position - "Club, first and only".

So he was pushed as some Norwood people are inferring? It seems from what people have told me (Wedgie and our club CEO) he was a very well respected hardworking GM/CEO so I must say I thought it was odd when he moved (or was moved) aside on Projects until he took this new job?

I probably should have added that my post was only my own personal thoughts, naturally others at the club might disagree .. Add this one to the list of "Things to dicuss at next North v Norwood game whilst having a beer"

Fair enough - your shout first unless it's that Cooper's Crap that people get excited about?
