Lethlean Theory

Post: # 1709343Post older saint »

I love a good conspiracy theory so how about this one.

Lethlean is close with McLaughlin.
His business talents make him qualified for the available position at the club, however his work behaviour issues make him a huge risk from a PR perspective.
St.Kilda is currently trying to re-negotiate a new deal with Ethihad stadium now owned by the AFL.
Lethlean is in the mix for the position and Finnis and McLaughlin have chat

Lethlean gets the job, we get a much improved stadium deal ????

My theory is that Lethlean is damaged goods and no one else wanted him. He went to the only club that really wanted him thanks to Finnis I guess. Lethlean was desperate so he took a gig at a mid table and medium sized AFL club.

Seems to be pretty much the case...which made me laugh even harder at the thought of:

Big Mac: "Okay then, what about the Bulldogs?".
St Lethlean: "Oh piss off!"
Big Mac: "All right, all right, I'll give Matty a buzz, he'll snap you up for sure".
St Lethlean: "Urgh. Ooookaaaay".

I have a theory that, any more unpalatable appointments, and the club may find sponsors thinking twice about who represents their brand.

Lethlean Theory?

I think we may have missed a lot of shots AT goal on the right hand side.

Id say he was going for jobs based on the drive time from his house and we were the fifth closest.
Watch how quick the admin section gets built in Moorabbin now so SL doesnt have to drive to Seaford.

I have a theory.

Gilligan loves the Saints and wants them to be in good hands.

Gilligan also loves Lethlean, but he doesn't have the balls to take on the morally superior lobby that infests the AFL ... and many parts of society today.

He demands his mate's resignation for the high crime of ... wait for it ... an affair with a willing colleague. Gasp. :roll: :shock: How unique and horrendous.

Now he feels bad about this and worries that there was a certain double standard operating. Should he have demanded the resignations of the women involved also? Maybe one of them made the first move. Who knows? Maybe Simon is the real victim here.

His only way out is to point Lethlean in our direction.

It's worked out very well for us. Couldn't be happier with the appointment. Get behind him.

I am awfully confused.

A few months ago Bains was the greatest 'operator' and sports administrator on the planet and was rejecting offers from Real Madrid and the La Lakers because of his passion for the Saints. The new messiah.

Now I am being told to forget all that and get on board with Lethlean who is now the greatest football administrator on the planet. The new new messiah who bleeds red white and black and is so well connected and business savvy we will probably simply buy out Etihad Stadium ourselves for free (he is a whizz at finance) and then rent it back to the AFL and the other pleb clubs for a profit.

Cant wait!

Lethlean was being sought by Vladimir Putin to help them with that Ukraine thing, Formula One chased him to address falling attendances, Richard Branson is always on the email looking for advice, and Elon Musk is engaging him to manage the fallout from the Model 3 delays.
To score a legend like this is surely a major coup

They have already changed the name of the Saints staff canteen to 'Lethlean Cuisine'.

House speciality?

The Leth-lean beef sandwich.

There is some fact to this believe it or not.

Gil was indeed shopping Lethlean around everywhere to try to keep him in the industry.

This has been widely reported.

Surely the more people at our club who are mates with the guy running the comp the better off we are?

I would've thought it would be the Leth-Lean pork sausage. Comes in your buns of choice.

The proof point will come shortly

If he gets us a very good stadium deal then he will have earned our respect. If we get a shitty deal then we will all be questioning this appointment .

Fingers crossed.

Don't criticize the taste, or the chef will speak to you very curtly...
Or is that 'Kurtley' ? :shock:

Madi and Kurtley have moved to the UK...

Shame that Caro has retired...
She'd get confused over his name and call him
'Less-lean' to counteract her lisp!

The 'Lethlean Theory' says that a player should spend the summer in the gym to bulk up,
i.e. to be 'leth lean' than the previous season.
