After already navigating a challenging retail landscape and lengthy shopping centre redevelopment, the full force of the COVID-19 pandemic hit Mr Walker’s long-stand- ing business.

UNREPENTANT Perth Glo- ry owner Tony Sage says standing down players and staff was the only action left open to him to save the A-League club amid the cor- onavirus crisis. The stand-down brought an immediate threat from the player’s union, Profes- sional Footballers Australia, to take legal action if he does not reinstate them, with a warning of fines of more than $600,000 under the Fair Work Act. But Sage,who revealed to The West Australian last week that all club owners would take the drastic action said: “I’m not worried at all. Are they living on another planet? “They can do what they want if they want to waste time and money doing it. We have the legal advice. The FFA has stopped the league. What do they expect? “Are they going to add all the other clubs to suing me or are they just suing me?

Geelong’s Brian Cook, West Coast’s Trevor Nis- bett, Brisbane’s Greg Swann, Gold Coast’s Mark Evans and Essendon’s Xavier Campbell have formed a chief executive taskforce to gauge what football departments will look like after the coronavirus cri- sis. The subcommittee is one of four made up of club chiefs. The others are finance, membership/marketing and health. It’s understood the idea was Campbell’s and has been embraced by all club. It is the first time all 18 club bosses have teamed up for a common cause. The potential loss of more than $15 million for each club this year, the slashing of the football depart- ment budget by $3 million and the possibility of reduced playing lists means costs will have to be reduced in clubland. Clubs last week stood down 80 per cent of their staff. The veteran CEOs are examining every aspect of finance and personnel. Their findings will be sent to other club leaders for further ideas and consideration before a report is tabled with the AFL’s head of football Steve Hocking in coming weeks. “Our role, the taskforce or working group, is sim- ply to prepare a paper of discussion points which all CEOs can talk about,” Cook said. Although most areas will be cut back, player wel- fare, which was already a hot issue, is set to have more resources ploughed into it, while there is a gen- eral belief medical departments must remain strong. “We’re looking at all sorts of principles that the CEOs need to talk about, as well as the general man- agers of footy who have been meeting regularly, and the CFOs. It’s non-binding among the clubs, it’s ba- sically, ‘here’s the template, let’s talk about the future, let’s talk what are the services we can share into the future.” April 2, 2020 SPORT 47
