Welcome aboard OER GBTGD
.
IMHO not much of choice if they are the only two options. Any former board members of the past 20 years aren't in my good books
. Here's hoping a third option is available in some "what's best for the RFC" form.
Casey of course for the projected $2 million loss by investing good money after bad by pumping $800K into a bleedingly obvious failing footy department in the hope that it would buy success and increase revenues elsewhere in gate-receipts, sponsorships, etc... To make matters worse these inflated sums were then accepted as attainable in the budget forecasts
.
On the other hand Schwab and Welsh were their for 6 years prior to resigning. Welsh saying he resigned as he didn't have the time and wanted to concentrate on his businesses despite only a month or so earlier asking members to re-elect him. Schwab and Welsh have been apart of boards that agreed to give top $$$ and long contracts to Daffy, Knights, Richo and Cambo in '99. Then along with Casey (and then CEO Mark Brayshaw) they again did the same thing again with Gas and Holland. They were also party to appointing unsuccessful CEO's Brayshaw and Ian Campbell. Add to that the sacking of Geischen and the appointment of Frawley (and reappointment with that stupid out clause in it). Many crosses against all their names as far as I'm concerned especially when it comes to crucial decisions regarding the footy department.
If I had to vote now I wouldn't be voting for Schwab and Co. Still don't have a clue what they stand for in terms of detail and how he would do things differently (yeah we all care and are concerned about the present situation and future of the Club
). Plus his ticket is underwhelming IMO. Also didn't like Schwab hiding and circling in the background for month after month when Pahoff's stupid petition without an alternative was selfishly holding the Club to ransom. When Schwab finally did raise his head to challenge it was at the exact same time as we were hunting for Wallace. Not a good sign if you want to demonstrate to members and supporters you have the best interests of the Club at heart.
As for what will happen cum December and the AGM ???: Will an admittance of major stuff ups plus Miller, Wallace and a good trade/draft period save Casey's backside; or are members, to borrow an old political reference, waiting on their porches with baseball bats for him ???
