Ken Gannon

Submitted by Dolphin on
Heard tonight that Ken Gannon has resigned from Football Victoria to take up a role with the AFL as "Community Facility Development Manager". Wonder where the VFL will head now, with a new head running Football Victoria.

Wow! Big news going into 2007. Who will take on the role? My longshot is Phil Cleary :) The competition will be returned in name to the VFA before seasons end! But seriously, what sort of candidates will this job attract ?

Phil as CEO? He doesn't have a bussiness background, although his football background could help him get the gig. I wonder what the ETU would think if he left them are being the communications manager for them for many years?

I think he actually runs a couple of small-ish business including a furniture company.

The Job is much bigger than just the VFL and would take somebody with a fair bit more vision that Cleary.

The problem with some of those names mentioned by zebra is that while they have an appreciation of the level of VFL football, they dont have experience in football administration. You'd think people who have been in high admin positions at suburban, amateur and country football leagues would be the front runners.

No, Not a chance, Give me a break!, Who?, and No. I have heard a couple of suggestions. Not worth mentioning yet though.

From within Football Victoria you'd think maybe David Code. From outside I'd think Mark Patterson from the Roosters.
