Tom Browne told Triple M Hot Breakfast this morning that Stephen Silvagni's time as Carlton's list manager could be over within the next month.
โStephen Silvagni, SOS, a key architect in their resurgence, heโs been their (Carltonโs) list manager during this period where thereโs pretty optimistic views on their list, in one regard I guess heโs done the hard yards,โ Browne said.
โI think within the next month is highly likely now heโll step away from the clubโฆ at the moment Cain Liddle, whoโs the CEO, a very competent CEO, has been restructuring the football department with some of his own key appointments."
Browne also told the Hot Breakfast that some of the changes the club has made over the past 12 months have limited the former Blues champion's influence.
โSOS is one of the most powerful people at Carlton, at least he was up until 12 months ago.
โBut over the last 12 months thereโs been a football manager appointed, Brad Lloyd, thereโs also been a different list manager, Mick Agresta, appointed, and thereโs a view that some of the powerโs gone away from SOS, but thereโs also some key power brokers that still support SOS.โ
Browne also reported that if Silvagni were to actually move on then Sydney's recruiting and list manager, Kinnear Beatson will be the man the Blues will want to replace Silvagni with.
"There is a suggestion they are informally...according to my sources sounding out some alternative people.
โI think theyโre interested in Sydneyโs recruiting manager if it came to thatโฆ Kinnear Beatson,โ he said.
Carlton have denied the report.
