Ball tampering and the player pay dispute were major issues in the past 18 months.amber_fluid wrote:Gozu wrote:James Sutherland just had a press conference announcing he is stepping down as CEO of Cricket Australia.
Really?
I missed that.
Pressured into it maybe?

I think an argument can be made that the cultural decline of the team is partly his fault.
Craddock and Whateley were talking about it recently. apparently they made Warner VC because they knew he was a loose cannon and they thought they could control him by doing that.
hardly a glowing endorsement for his leadership skills.

or is that basically that he will just say until they find the replacement

Probably still has a few more repayments to go on the yacht.

What sort of coin would he be on?
Half mill with bonuses?

I'd be thinking more than that, I'll let you know the gut feel after my interview.
Cricket Australia's FY16 financial filings is definitely worth a casual look-over. It turns out the key management personnel (the chairman, current directors and "the executives with the authority for the strategic direction and management of the Company") took home $5.6 million in fiscal 2016. On that last definition, it could be Sutherland and his CFO, or it could be 25 managers. Piss-poor disclosure by anyone's standards.
But crucially, as recently as the last home Ashes, CA directors received zero remuneration. All but the chairman were volunteers. That could have changed without disclosure but, has it not, Peever, Sutherland and an unidentified number of executives "with the authority" etc, are making off with hatfuls.
