Glenelg Appoints Glenn Elliot as CEO

MEDIA RELEASE – CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER APPOINTMENT

The Glenelg Football Club is excited to announce the appointment of Glenn Elliott to the position of Chief Executive Officer.

Glenn has extensive management experience in the sports, hospitality and tourism industries where his most recent positions have been as CEO of Adelaide United Football Club in the A League between 2011 and 2014 and prior to that as CEO of the North Adelaide Football Club for 10 years which included establishing their commercial entities The Northern Tavern and Grand North.

Glenn is returning to the Glenelg Football Club after 19 years where he was CEO between 1993 and 1997.

Glenn has the unique combination of vast management experience in the sporting and hospitality industry combined with a lifetime involvement in football where he played 153 games in the VFL for the St Kilda and Melbourne football clubs and then went on to coach the West Torrens Football Club in the SANFL.

Glenn’s official start date is January 4th 2016.

Glenelg have a decent supporter base and need to engage them. Be a member campaign etc etc. You look at the other site and most of the Glenelg posters offer nothing except bag their own club. To me its a terrible culture at Glenelg and has been for many many years.

Maybe I wasn't clear. If I but a ticket for $1000 for ten years , the you get nothing for he next 9 years. Mate selling a few pies and a beer will not be enough. Then calculate CPI.
Might be a biy beyond the current board .

In a nutshell, you have to raise maybe $800K to a million dollars after SANFL distributions to run your teams. Add on admin salaries, etc and that's a lot of income to generate merely to break even.

Clubs rely on their supporters enormously to survive and suggestions like bayman's have been utilised by more than one club with success.

I'm not sure that having 'qualified" Board members only is the way to go. A mix of qualified, well-connected people and people with their heart in their club is a good mix.

I sympathise with the Glenelg Board and Glenn Elliott and wish them luck. If members ate and drank at their clubs it would go a long way towards righting the ship.

All clubs will get a very significant financial input from the SANFL over the next several years to reduce their debt.

i presume ''face'' was supposed to be ''fact'' i disagree, i think the last 12-24 months or so including Nick Stevens' stint was a turnaround of that....as for not paying for 9 years, so what if the club/business can get out of trouble (to some extent) this way, why not ? especially when you consider that the bank & possibly the council although i doubt the council would could claim (i don't know the correct term) monies owed & have the doors shut basically immediately

Yeah made a spelling mistake , sorry. Did I pick you up with your grammar ? Work out where to put a comma before you start correcting .
I am not sure how to make it clearer. Once paid ,those  members generate zero membership dollars for nine years.

Bag me all you like.

You would soon be able to set them straight and generate new revenue streams where most club boards have failed.

Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
