Can't criticise the man for being loyal, these personal attacks from supposed Carlton fans are disgraceful.
Not criticising him for being loyal, Game. I don't think anyone questions Kernahan's love for the Club, his passion, or the time and effort he puts in.
My criticism is of his performance, both on the Board and in the football department. In a time in our history where both have been at all time lows, he has been the constant in both departments during that time.
One again, I will go back to the EGM to get rid of the Elliott Board. When it came time for Kernahan to give his speech, he said he and the football department took full responsibility for the failures of that department, and the failures on field. That is, he had failed in his job on the football department.
When he was then asked about the performance of the Board, of which he was a member, his answer was, 'you'll have to ask John about that, he knows more about those things than I do'. That is, he didn't have the knowledge of someone who sits on a Board, even though he sat on the Board.
He basically told the assembled members that he had failed at the two things that he was supposed to be doing. Lo and behold, 4 years later, he's still on the Board, he's still in the football department, and both are still in a mess. Is it any surprise?
