Peggy O'Neal statement
richmondfc.com.au
20th September 2016
Richmond President Peggy O’Neal and CEO Brendon Gale today met with representatives of the Focus on Footy group Martin Hiscock, Mag Kearney and the group’s public relations consultant Richard Amos.
The group put another proposal to the Club, requesting that four or five current Richmond Directors stand down and that the Focus on Footy group would decide which of their representatives would take the positions.
At a scheduled Board meeting this afternoon, the Richmond Football Club Board rejected this request in its entirety.
“Our members are perfectly entitled to run for the Board and we have processes in place to allow them to do just that,” Richmond President Peggy O’Neal said.
“We encourage any of our 70,000 members wishing to do so to engage in our nominations process or through our normal electoral process as part of the Annual General Meeting.
“The time leading up to the AFL Draft is really important for all clubs and our priority right now is running this Club, and providing a stable environment that allows our CEO Brendon Gale and our new General Manager of Football Neil Balme to build a stronger Richmond on and off the field.
“The Board and our administration – under the guidance of Brendon - is getting on with the really important business of attracting players, coaches and commercial partners to our Club, and planning for 2017.
“I’m sure all passionate Richmond members and supporters want Brendon and Neil focused on delivering the changes we have announced to strengthen our Football Department and not be distracted by other issues.
“As previously stated, we were bitterly disappointed with last season. We have conducted a thorough review, change has been implemented and more is on the way – we need our key people focussing on doing that effectively as we build towards the 2017 season.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of our Club who have provided such great support in recent weeks for the work Brendon and his team are doing to drive a stronger team on and off the field."

Well done Hillary calling for stability again. They want you and the board to stand down, the football department can contunue on with their jobs but continue with the scare tactics telling the nervous nellies that the club will collapse if a challenge takes place. Just call an EGM and be done with it. Let the members choose from an open pool of duds.

Did you catch a very important comment in the statement Harry?
Looks like the whispers I'm hearing are true but rocking the boat before certain deals are finalised could cost the club big $$$$

Corporate partnerships
We have at least 3 large sponsors coming out of cptmract at the end of October that they club are trying to extend.
Plus could be a newbie in the works.
Having the circus going on that we have with the nuffer crew isnt good when you are trying to get cojtracts signed
Although Doc Hiscock did hint this morning they wouldn't do anything until these things were sorted because heaven forbid this alternate group actually show us they understand and know what they need to bring to the table outeode telling the fpoty department hpw the team should play
-
I thought she sounded pretty reasonable.
-
Predictable Harry response.................yawn
-
Get the feeling someones using multiple accounts again :shh
-
Could have just taken a pic of the board sitting their giving the middle finger salute in the meeting today and posted it on the clubs Facebook page. Easier for everyone to understand then.
They have such a great performance record over the last 10 years it's completely reasonable for them to behave in such a way also. :sarcasm
-
Find it incredible that a public relations consultant attended the meeting. Noted president now referring to the club as our club.

How are Townsend and yarren tracking penny
Important the draft very important.
How bout them Houli Hampson grigg new deals. A master stroke by our wonderful leader
-
She should stand aside along with a few others,poor decisions from this board.
If it wasn't for hand outs this useless board would be seen for what it is, a sham.

In the era of three billion dollar TV deals and equalisation what difference does it make ...
Richmond are bottom four on the 'sponsorship ladder' correct ? Another feather in the cap for our stable board

You can't have it both ways Harry. You bagged the club for not having higher revenue from sponsorship then you say it does not matter if we lose sponsorship $ from a board takeover.

Where did I say that? Follow the quotes carefully.
Just on that they must be terrified of losing the 3m in sponsorship money lol. Don't worry just call the supporters to arms and we'll bail you out.

Fair point, you didn't bag us but you did criticise us in the sponsorship ladder thread for not having accurate/ higher sponsorship revenue, which you are entitled to do.
-
Entitled to? Every member should be demanding answers from this board why they can't sell a club with record membership, exposure and prime location to corporate sponsors. Simply not good enough to have so little sponsorship revenue. Unacceptable yet they depend on menbership money and donations and praise their achievements of wiping out debt and making profits. As supporters we are apathetic and don't demand excellence.

Can you link to evidence of our poor sponsorship performance? Our annual report shows that we had a record year for sponsorship revenue.
-
Is that the same annual report that says we earned 26m in sponsorship and marketing and only 14m in football activities? Do those numbers make sense to you?
-
All clubs have different revenue profiles. I for one would prefer that we make nothing from gaming/pokies.
Anyway, if you're trying to criticise the current board on the grounds of financial performance, you're not holding a strong hand. Stick to football.

You based your comment on the annual report which doesn't separate sponsorship revenue on it's own. Just bringing it to your attention.

Yeah, and you're still to show evidence that we've performed poorly on sponsorship revenue.
-
There's an article that's been linked here somewhere- says we were bottom 4 in FY 2014. Since then we have lost ME bank.
-
Yet we achieved record sponsorship revenue in 2015. I think I know the article you refer to. It is a list of revenue from top sponsors, not the entire story.
We are performing very well in terms of financials. Can you agree on that?

Where do you get the record sponsorships number from? If it's the annual report then be aware they lump all sorts of revenue in "sponsorship and marketing" bucket. There is no breakdown and most likely includes membership revenue.

And yet still 4th worst in the league
Suckers on field and off

But dont we have some one with a strong back ground in advertising and marketing on our board?
Surely it can't be that hard to market a facility that has a billion stuffing trains go past it each day.

The PR consultant the MD of Royce Communications was previously a director at Hawthorn
I can see your point but was he there in his capacity as a PR consultant or there to advocate on behalf of his client?
-

Yes he was, no doubt. But why did they need him there i the first place? Supposedly a well organised, professional group like FoF shouldn't have needed someone there managing them
Oops wait...scrub that bit needing someone there to "manage" them
but seriously let's be honest the PR company have done a shocking job with this group. If everything FoF did was on the back of the advice they received from Royce Communications then they are entitled to a refund ;D

They should have got Ian hanke

Yeh....it's ok that you've been doing that for the last 5-7 years and scoring ZERO on that front.
The fact members aren't standing United in ditching this botched board shows WHY the club is so stuffed.
You're morons.

What a crock of female crap.
Poor PEGGY can't sell the club to sponsors because people hate her guts and want her and her structure gone.

Can you provide details?
From the 2015 AR:
The Club has reported a net profit of $458,586 for the financial year ended 31 October. This is the Club’s 11th consecutive profit – an outstanding result given we operate in such a competitive market. The Club achieved this result off a revenue base of $46.7 million, an increase of $2.3 million year-on- year.
Pleasingly the Club now has cash reserves in excess of $2 million. This represents a turnaround of almost $7 million based on our debt position five years ago. At the same time the Club has significantly increased its investment in football. In 2015, for example, the Club invested $8 million more in football that in did in 2010.
The Club’s net asset position increased over the year to $24.2 million. 2015 Highlights
• Home and away attendances of 1.05 million which ranked us number one in the AFL.
• TV audiences of 16 million, representing an increase of 13%.
• Record sponsorship revenue.
• Record corporate and coterie revenue.
• Record membership of 71,339.

Looks good on paper but I'd expect a lot of that to be very elastic after 2016's year.
Attendance will be down. Tv ratings down. 2017 membership will be down.
Sponsors won't be happy.

Probably. I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I'll be a paid up member for the rest of my life. Probably regardless of what the club does.
I don't believe everything the club says. But the club does deserve some praise for off-field aspects in the last few years. Not many of the posters here are willing to acknowledge it.
-
Sure.
Giving them accolades for they have done is fine.
Blurring the line between what they have done and failed at is merely bulkshit
-
The report should begin as follows,
Although we went from three consecutive elimination final losses to the worst season (2016) for many years, ignored calls for identified culprits to be fired and signed players like Chris Yarran, we want you to know that this club is in good hands........

Regarding gender equality.
Yes, this is a key factor in being a successful football club and even more Important when being governed by a woman.

"We encourage any of our 70,000 members"
Yeh right, bitch. Sure you do.
Well yes, but you missed the important bit "through our nominations process".
She and Kerry Ryan (and Rob Dalton) look forward to vetting you personally through the Nominations Committee before deciding whether to approve you as suitable to take their jobs.

Why don't they disclose the sponsorship amount as other clubs do?

I'm not sure that other clubs do specify exact sponsorship revenue. Just had a quick look at Collingwood & Hawks AR's from last year, and they report similarly to us. I can think of at least one good reason why clubs might want to be coy about being too specific — I'm sure you can too if you think about it.

The Club has reported an operating profit of $458,586 for the year ended 31 October 2015 (2014: $1,329,530). Considering the continued difficult economic environment for the Club and AFL industry generally, this financial result reinforces the Club’s robust financial standing.
Yes, the AFL Industry is such a hard nut to crack
More crap.
They want you all to believe it's sooooo hard to do. :clapping

From the President's report. Big claim to make if it isn't true.
Can you provide details?
From the 2015 AR:
The Club has reported a net profit of $458,586 for the financial year ended 31 October. This is the Club’s 11th consecutive profit – an outstanding result given we operate in such a competitive market. The Club achieved this result off a revenue base of $46.7 million, an increase of $2.3 million year-on- year.
Pleasingly the Club now has cash reserves in excess of $2 million. This represents a turnaround of almost $7 million based on our debt position five years ago. At the same time the Club has significantly increased its investment in football. In 2015, for example, the Club invested $8 million more in football that in did in 2010.
The Club’s net asset position increased over the year to $24.2 million. 2015 Highlights
• Home and away attendances of 1.05 million which ranked us number one in the AFL.
• TV audiences of 16 million, representing an increase of 13%.
• Record sponsorship revenue.
• Record corporate and coterie revenue.
• Record membership of 71,339.

It would be in our clubs best interests if all clubs disclosed it, that way when negotiating new deals we could use our supporters base and audience vs other clubs to put ourselves into a position of strength. As someone with an extensive sales and marketing background, its always stumped me that we havent been able to spruik our potential audience vs other hack clubs into better commercial deals.

Have a look at note 4 for hawthorn and note 3 for collingwood. More disclosure than us especially hawthorn.
Our sponsorship and marketing amont of 24m does not make sense and it appears they are including membetship and other revenue in there.

Sure, but our commercial partners may not want their expenditure publicised in this way, and of course, such exposure may limit future deals.

Our reporting isn't hugely different from those two. "Commercial activity" "Marketing Income". However you look at it or report it, we aren't massively different to those two clubs who would have far more leverage in the market than us you would think. Doesn't mean we can't do better, of course, but this board has been pretty good on the off field. And as difficult as it is to acknowledge, on field they have been more successful than probably any other board in the last 30 years. Once again, nobody is satisfied with that, but we are much better off building on this base than tearing it all down in anger and frustration and starting again.

Hawthorn has 9 clear revenue categories and you can clearly see what revenue is supporter and member dependant, whereas ours has 4 (interest income of 100k is also disclosed) and it's hard to decipher what is supporter driven and what is board driven via sponsors etc. As a comparison we have disclosed 24m sponsorship/marketing/commercial activities whereas hawthorn have 15 and collingwood 17.

Note that the rules I've highlighted in yellow are not in the latest version posted.
The wombats must not realize that there are other internet sources out there so you can't just scrub and forget what you post previously.
May be a good basis for a question at the AGM.

Probably AGM since the FoFers have dropped off.
Mind you, if the Malvern Hotel group decide they can't just settle for the two seats up for election and ask around for 100 signatures to force a spill of the entire board, I think they'd only need half an hour to get them with Mandie, Silk and Ralph families and friends to the fore.

That's another thing that needs changing. 100 signatures is ridiculous - a vestige of a time when we had 30,000 members or so. Should need at least 1000 to force an EGM.

So,
After finally agreeing to meet with the would be rivals, Oneal is supposedly putting the proposals
to the current board. :facepalm
Challengers have the numbers to call an EGM.
EGM would result in complete board takeover.
EGM would cost the club 100k.
New board should pay out of their own pocket if successful.

From the President's report. Big claim to make if it isn't true.
Can you provide details?
From the 2015 AR:
The Club has reported a net profit of $458,586 for the financial year ended 31 October. This is the Club’s 11th consecutive profit – an outstanding result given we operate in such a competitive market. The Club achieved this result off a revenue base of $46.7 million, an increase of $2.3 million year-on- year.
Pleasingly the Club now has cash reserves in excess of $2 million. This represents a turnaround of almost $7 million based on our debt position five years ago. At the same time the Club has significantly increased its investment in football. In 2015, for example, the Club invested $8 million more in football that in did in 2010.
The Club’s net asset position increased over the year to $24.2 million. 2015 Highlights
• Home and away attendances of 1.05 million which ranked us number one in the AFL.
• TV audiences of 16 million, representing an increase of 13%.
• Record sponsorship revenue.
• Record corporate and coterie revenue.
• Record membership of 71,339.
LMAO.
What a crock of poo.
Which bit? Specifically.
I take it that you believe that the annual report is untrue?
"An outstanding result"
