Sturt FC has announced the resignation of chief exec Matt Benson.
Finishes early next month.

3 wooden spoons and around 2mill in combined losses, with Deterorating crowds. Big shoes to fill.

Heard him state somewhere a couple of weeks ago that he was looking forward to the challenges that the next few years would bring.

Probably can't blame him ... wouldn't have been on big dollars you'd think so he's done enough hard yards to walk away with a significant enough contribution with a more lucrative career now ahead of him.

You're back, SDK?!!

I thought you were going to the 'other' forum because you didn't like the new lay out of this one?

That would suggest his "resignation" might have been more of a push.

I know a few that view him as a spruiker with little substance to back it up. Has been responsible for a few major errors in his time. Chickens may have finally come home to roost.

I used to be a big fan, but not anymore.

Told me to my face he didn't want members asking a lot of questions at AGMs, I think it was the 2009 one...

Plus he has to take some responsibility for the massive increase in debt under his reign...

Tired. His first tour was his best...

How many of "these guys" voted yes and have now resigned? Is it three of the six?

Zero.
It is the presidents who vote.
Presidents are the leaders of the board. CEOs are merely employees.

Cheers, thought that could be the case.

Chris Grant would be the most longstanding CEO by a mile now.
North & Norwood might be the only other two longer than 2 years.
South changed last year.
Port, Glenelg, West, Eagles and now Sturt this year.

Cant say I'm shocked.

Can we read into this more financial drama

Do Sturt still have the lease to the Castle Tavern?

Not for much longer I believe.

Ha ha never went to the other forum ..... miss you guys too much.
Still hate the format though.

One of my sources said the club had an emergency board meeting to sack him... so something is up if that is true...
