Looks like he was given the ol' heave-ho.

I think he did a pretty good job considering he had about 50 different boses to report to and appease.

Finally we can have some footy smarts running the game instead of lawyers.

No no no no no. Must be someone from the business world. No ex players or administrators please. I give Gallop a pass mark, though he has seemed a bit of a News puppet.

Brett Stewart will be happy.

I thought Gallop did a good job.

Hope John Ribot gets the job. (can hear the NSW people screaming)

 

[Bucking Beads]

Lets see if the new guy has the balls to say ok Sydney teams who wants to fold first.. :haha:

WOW! Unlike most, I have respect for Gallop and think he's handled a difficult job admirably. Before you can say this is good news, let's see who his replacement is.

But given we are in the midst of new TV negotiations I think it's good timing. Gallop has previously failed in that regard, and the game has been short changed as a result. He's been too sycophantic to channel 9 and Fox Sports, so hopefully they'll have someone who hits a bit harder.

Please be John Ribot. Please be John Ribot! :P

John Ribot won't. He is to busy taking a money bath from the cash Murdoch pocketed him with.

 

[Kaz]

Whether people like Ribot or not, he knows how to run things.

He won't take shyte from anyone or any club.

And if the Stewart brothers tried the same stunt with Ribot as they did with Gallop, he would've drop kicked their private areas.

Brett Stewart's reaction to the news.

Well this pretty much came out of nowhere.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Gallop did a pretty good job during his tenure. He was a very respectable fellow, so I wish him all the best.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Gallop did do a good job but he could have always been better. I look forward to seeing who the next CEO is.

Like who.

No former footballers like Mario Fenech or Brad Fitter.

Opps, you said smarts. So that leaves them out of the running.

This. 100%

and I agree that Ribot would be awesome.....won't happen though. (all hail super league)

 

[Fozz]

Imagine all the squealing from the NSWRL if he was appointed though, LOLZ.

Gallop did a pretty good job given all the crap he had to deal with. Hopefully the ARLC appoints someone with an once of business sense, which would rule out anyone involved in any Sydney club.

Wayne Pearce is a member of the independant commision so he might get promoted.

I hope John Grant doesn't get the job or one of his 'friends'.

IMO: John Grant is feathering his own nest & only looking after himself.
