MELBOURNE has announced former Essendon administrator Peter Jackson as its interim chief executive after the club sacked Cameron Schwab last week.

Jackson has been appointed for the six months effective May 1.

The former Essendon chief executive was working with Football Victoria after a long stint with Essendon, where he was highly rated for his fiscal management and detailed understanding of every aspect of the club's inner workings.

The Demons issued a statement today admitting the board had not met its goals in the past four years.

"This is unacceptable and must be addressed.

"The board has appointed Peter as an interim CEO to critically assess all aspects of our club, and he has the experience to do that. Peter will oversee the day to day operations of the club through to the end of season 2013, and he will participate in the process to select a full-time CEO."

Glass half full for Dees

Jackson was the man who eventually told 27-year coach Kevin Sheedy he would be moving on from Windy Hill.

But despite that bold move he is still highly rated by long-time coach Sheedy.

He also had to defend himself against accusations he had single-handedly extended the contract of Matthew Knights, which the club had to pay out when they sacked him.

The Demons had to pay out Schwab with a six-month settlement after sacking him as a blood-letting measure last week in the wake of another embarrassing loss to Essendon.

He will be in the role for a number of months while the club searches for a permanent chief executive.

It is not known if he will be considered for the full-time role if he excels in the position.

Melbourne has also announced the appointment of Geoff Freeman to the club's board.
