Kym Russell tenders resignation

Members are advised that CEO Kym Russell has tendered his resignation from the Club. Kym will continue in his role until the end of the year while the Club implements a number of recommendations from a recent strategic review.
The Club would like to thank Kym for his significant contribution to the Club over the past 5 years where he has strengthened our football club’s finance, marketing and commercial operations during tough economic conditions, as well as overseeing capital improvement projects within the oval precinct including the lighting project, mound bar upgrade and player facilities redevelopment following the fire in 2010.

Probably could not take a pay cut ?
Bring back Doug on a % of the profits !

Sadly sign of times I would say, how much strife are Westies and other clubs really in?

From what I hear it may have been a mutual decision. Tough to keep your job when you make substantial losses and are being paid a 6 figure salary!

Ding dong .........

Jeez, he took his time, could have resigned much earlier for family reasons to lessen suspicion ...

That's the problem, he wasn't getting paid peanuts....

I am referring to his replacement. How can they get someone decent when they can not pay enough ?

Fine choice!

Thank god this absolute lunatic is going! A bloke who has no communication skills, avoids any staff issues and simply doesn't care about the club!

Good riddance you arrogant snob!

OK CK don't hold back say what you really think.

Will be a different feel in 2014 with SO many changes at the club from all levels
