PAUL McNamee has been dumped as chief executive of Melbourne after just four months in the job.
McNamee said he was disappointed that the new board, headed by former player Jim Stynes had decided he was not the right man to run the club.
"We had some pretty bold plans and with the new team coming in, they are going in a different direction," McNamee told Melbourne radio station SEN.
"They didn't want me to be a part of that direction so you move on."
"But it's disappointing because I haven't been there that long ... they've got an agenda and they don't see me as part of that agenda."
The departure of McNamee means the Demons - who are already facing a $2 million loss this season and are $5 million in debt - now face another financial pay-out.
