The man is a joke. Worst thing that ever happened to the Unley Jets Football club was Steven Barrett. He is without doubt the worst coach i personally ever had.

He coached a completely winless year and was sacked from an ammo div 4 team.

should be an awesome ceo.

Well we haven't recruited him for his football nous, it is for his financial background and business innovation skills. Apples and rubbers have the footy side of things going pretty well but with room for a slight improvement.

dutchy would know more than barra.

ill bet Barra interviewed very well. He is the king of BS.

[Wedgie]

Bit harsh on him UK IMHO, Ive never had anything to do with footy with him mind you but Ive dealt with him both profesionally and enjoyed a chat or two about footy with him and he came across to me as a top bloke.
Good on Glenelg for giving him a go I say.

[MagareyLegend]

sad what the SANFL has come to if Barratt is a CEO - let alone at Glenelg - NO CREDENTIALS

[dinglinga]

Former Senior Manager – Business Improvement with Savings & Loans Credit Union,
Steven’s involvement in strategic planning and development with a key focus on the
implementation of extensively planned, innovative strategies bring a wealth of expertise to the
Chief Executive Officer’s role.
i wonder if they did there due dilligence ...cos they may have missed one important factor though ...

[Wedgie]

Maybe Glenelg just wanted a premiership player down there!
