from twitter Melbourne CEO Cameron Schwab has resigned:
Do not think this will really solve anything though.

Probably should resign, may not change all that much but obviously there were severe troubles and his role became untenable. Listening to the press conference now on SEN. Hopefully this sparks the dees into action, although we were saying that last week.... :(.
Watching the press conference now... cant see how this will benefit the Dees.
Seems he wanted to say, but had a meeting with Mclardy today where he was asked to resign. I see this as the first step of many needed for the dees to fix up their off field situation.
not that they should need one but might be the wake up call the players need
One down. Several still to go.
In this case i think Resign = get the hell out and don't let the door hit you on the way out lol
Who is next in line.....
Time for Lyon to step up to the plate?
i admire lyon for his work as a commentator but the last time his club was in trouble he said no
to be fair to Garry here he shouldn't have to take the job but has the smarts and footballing knowledge
to come in and make an impact for the club straight away
yeah, read an article today quoting lyon basically saying- someone else flowering deal with it this time, I've got more on my plate and I'm sick of constantly getting phone calls about it.
The CEO of a company is responsible for the running of it. If it bleeds money on the share market he usually is the 1st to go. Well done Melbourne you have started the cull in the right area.

it's a bit different for a football team than a normal company... you can lay direct blame on the coach and recruiters as well.

Yeah the CEO is really the last person that would need to be sacked at a time like this. Considering its circumstances, Schwab was doing a decent job and he is a very highly rated administrator.
Really it should be the football department or President or someone who actually makes an impact on game day that needs to be looked at. Schwab only got the sack because he was unpopular with supporters. It's good to see that the position for Melbourne's CEO is a popularity contest now.
The sack was coming his way.
Now only the Coaching staff and players left to go

Sorry Zip but the buck stops at the top. That's why they are remunerated so much. The culture of the whole company starts with the CEO, he is responsible for the appointment of coaches and support staff. The whole Melbourne brand is Schwab's problem and he hasn't been able to turn things around. So he steps aside for someone who can.
l just hope they dont reform the same selection panel that picked Neeld to find a new CEO.
This is something that needs to be made totally "out of house", the whole decision making hierachy is compromised at Melbourne

He was told by McLardy to resign,that was stated in the press releases.
Schwab was involved in the choice of Neeld as coach,as was Gary Lyon.
I am amazed that he stayed there so long considering that he and Connolly were basically out the door and Bailey was safe.Bailey is sacked and Connolly and Schwab are back in stronger positions than before.I was never able to work that one out.
I think that McLardy will be the next to go.He rode on Jim Stynes revival of the club but seems to have done nothing since.
Will Melbourne finish up like Fitzroy!!Players have already left the club and seems like more are on the way out.A club can't survive with players moving out.Something has to give.Some thing has to be done and done fast,this sore has festered for far too long to be healthy for the club.
I think the whole club just needs to swallow their pride and ask the AFL for assistance. They obviously need it but they seem to think that they can turn this around.

The AFL may end up appointing one of their own to the role.

Yeah agree, was very lucky to survive after the geelong thrashing a couple of years ago and was very surprised that they gave hi, a 3 year contract last year.
