aka got a better offer, adios

Just read the email. Don't blame her.

Any idea what the "offer(s)" are?

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a prick.....

But this is good news for 36er fans.

natwhereyouat...how do you propose this is good for 6ers fans?

Sometimes youve just got to say it straight Nat!

Just read the email; can't blame her.

Any idea what the "offer(s)" are?

I assume Weigh will be the new CEO?

Anything she says will be well thought out and is probably spin.

Did she jump or was she was pushed - that's the question here!

(But I'd also like to know if this reduces the support for Marty.)

I'm trying to think of a way to say this without disrespecting her on a public forum.. It will be a good opportunity for someone with my experience to take over.

NBL needs Adelaide to be where it was a few years ago, at least. And from my dealings, I don't believe she was ever the right person for the job.

I wish and hope it'll be the coaches next.

Might have someone with some courage to do the right things for the club now, wouldn't that be nice.

Time for Ben to return? Could Pottsy be lured back from the Crows?

Is it possible that Leanne and Trigg are swapping chairs?

*More* not MY! haha

Hi All,

I hope you're well and have a very Merry Christmas.


Cheers,
Sam

Interesting times ahead...............I don't like this. The club must be bleeding. We all need to really behind and get to the games to support them as I would hate not to have a team next year.

Do yourself a favour do not read this shit

gonna miss those green khaki pants. always a highlight of my day seeing those along with coffee in hand

Clarke : ' Stevie has some astounding ideas to feed the club . Seems it's a moment for an era to live again . '

@natwhereyouat, i thought you were nominating yourself haha

Make Massingale player/CEO

Was her decision based on Marty's recommendation?

One basketball to KingJames!

Thank god, hopefully everyone resigns in the offices soon to make way for people who can do the job...

i thought it went import, coach then CEO
can someone tell the 6ers they've got it backwards

I have only one question, is the club in serious trouble?

This decision makes me more nervous than optimistic.

Leeanne : ' Things are broken up out there . The coach , the venue, doing a Damocles over my head . I didn't know whether to duck or to run , so I ran . '

Daryl Simmons said "Leeanne was a tremendous asset to the Club for the past two seasons.


"Leeanne's time and influence at the Club has truly delivered everything we had wished for and more,"

Please explain Daryl, what did you wish for? For bottom and 2nd to bottom on the ladder for the last 2 consecutive seasons?

To Nat where you at?

Can you please explain what experience you have that would help you when you take over the role?

I thought you were going to apply for Marc Howard's position? Are you going to be able to do them both?

Fred - If you looked further down it was actually a freudian slip. I meant to say "more" not "my".

Troubling times. Wonder if we can turn this around.

Just hope it's not too late

From Boti:

Let's see if I remember how quotes work...

Leeanne Grantham quits Adelaide 36ers amid reports of difficult working relationship with coach Marty Clarke

ADELAIDE 36ers chief executive officer Leeanne Grantham has quit the NBL club, her decision taking effect from February 13.

The club released a short statement making the announcement today, then went into lock-down mode.
Grantham, 55, said in the statement her heart-strings had been pulled making the decision, "as a passionate basketball fan".

"My time with the club has been challenging and interesting," the statement said.

"However, the time for me to leave is right with a couple of opportunities that have been brought to my attention."

Grantham and coach Marty Clarke have endured a difficult working relationship since she was appointed at the start of last season.

Having been a former chief executive of the WNBL, head of women's football for the FFA, general manager at Events SA, and chief executive of the World Masters Games, she has strong opinions and has not been afraid to voice them.

But 36ers chairman Daryl Simmons said he was grateful for what Grantham had brought to the club, initially specifically to oversee optimum financing.

"Leeanne’s time and influence at the club has truly delivered everything we had wished for and more," Simmons said, also in the statement.

"Her decision to move on not only saddens us but leaves a massive void to fill.

"Leeanne moves on with our best wishes, our respect and thanks."

Neither Grantham or Simmons were answering or replying to calls today.

She is the second club chief executive to quit in-season, Ian Smythe vacating the chair at Townsville Crocodiles and replaced this week by Pat Reidy.

Nope. Block quote fail.

_{Fixed for ya - Mod}

I can see you making a great lawyer, anon.
