What a joke, he stuffed the club and got more money than boomers players!
Would he be the highest paid gm in Nbl? Glad he's gone now...

And if he landed 400k in sponsorship he was probably cheap
He turned the club around, was worth every cent and hopefully they get him back in BA accepts their submission. You have to pay good money to get results.

Lol he turned the club around? It went into VA...and got 50% capacity to a final...
Pay me 80k, I will cut expenditure and get bigger crowds, better team, better/cheaper coach.

Turned the club around............LMAO
The club is in VA with massive debts and looks like it will not continue. He has lost his $200k job.........sounds like a great operator - maybe the NBL can hire him and run up some massive debts.

Not surprised they ran into troubles, $200k on someone who ran a club without training facilities of their own, let the GCCC screw em over etc to burn $12.5million over 5 years. As they say, a fool and their money are easily parted

He was in the job for around 12 months and made massive improvements to the club. Why comment if you don't know any facts?
LMAO at some people who know nothing but assume they do. The vast majority of the $12mill was run up before he got the job. He finally turned the club into a business and got them moving in the right direction.

Did someone actually say that no club GM should be paid more than 100k? In what context? Like, how do you come to that figure?

No NBL Gm should be on more than 100k
You may be right billo but if an nbl cub wants to make money then they have to run lean initially in front office.

Wortho family member said he was on $200k plus this season and $250k next season. Publicly it was written as $585k over 3 years.

Why would wortho walk then with 250k waiting for him?
Is Europe/tigers offering more?
I don't think Wortho did walk, they all had their contracts torn up.

So Blaze get rid of Joyce's court-awarded payout AND Wortho's ridiculous contract? Nice.

Remember he didn't have a contract anymore. All remaining players were sacked. MW did say he was not coming back anyway.

BJF...........the facts are that 12ths ago the club was not in VA and it went into VA on his shift. The way the whole situation has beem handled has been pretty unprofessional IMO and the buck stops with your man you are talking up.
I am sure he took his full pay entitlements right up until the end unlike some of the players who have no choice but to accept a lesser amount

Give him a break. The Joyce fiasco was not on his watch and the club was supposed to have practically broken even last season. That's a miracle.
CEO's are paid according to what budget they work with, aren't they?
On that criteria, $200k seems a touch high.

It's all water under the bridge but I have been corrected from "one who, I believe, knows" so thought I would pass it on.
PP would have been on $200k at least in his last job. His Blaze salary would have been a good base plus an excellent percentage of whatever sponsorship he brought to the Blaze. He would not have come across to the NBL team on less. Highly possible he was involved/responsible for all issue decisions and this gave him the opportunity to branch into new areas of sport.
