Interesting this forum, lets dont post things on here when the club makes decisions that mighten be the right decision, lets all be quiet and say nothing.
On the football side I things, if they sign up Daniel Jackson again they are more deluded soles that I thought they were

You analogies as always a re flawed and you are being hypocritical

Your really don't get it do you.. are you that clueless when it comes to running a business and am not talking about being a manager at a business I am talking about the running a business where the buck stops with you and you are bound by laws

"decisions that mighten be right"  What the.... who are you to judge? Seriously? That's why companies have boards to make decisions. If you don't like them then you are are free to stand for the board at an election and let your peers decide if you are a better person....

$2 million bucks for what Jacko reckons was asked for wasnt a big deal IMHO and the club should have taken the cash. I dont know if there were other conditions but if it was just the one Jacko reckons then the club made a mistake IMHO. $2 million bucks is $2 million bucks and the fund would be close to $5 million now if we had taken it.

Flags you are assuming what Jack has told you is 100% correct/accurate ....

Even if it is I will repeat the Club was 100% correct in not accepting this donation with strings attached....trust me  ;) and let me do Jack if you want to know why PM me  ;D

 :lol
If the club had accepted the money with conditions stipulated then jacko would be on here whining about how the club sold out and will do anything for money.

LMAO at an attention whore complaining that the club wont whore itself out.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Why would Brendan be right in not accepting ?
I am really interested in your thoughts, considering we are selling home games to "' cash in "'
I would think the conditions involved with the donation wasnt that a concern
Considering some of the ""dead wood "' we have on the board. Might have been a good injection of ideas and cash to the club
 ::) ::)

 You really have no idea....perhaps it was simply rejected because it is ethically wrong to accept it.

SO are you saying if I win Lotto tonight, go and see Brendan on MOnday and say here's a cheque for the FTF of say $1mil but you can only have it if you agree to my list of conditions he should take it ::)

As it I said it would say more about me and my loyalty to the RFC than the Club

As for a "good injection of ideas"  :rollin :rollin

 :rollin
what i posted was correct, end of story

What you posted was pathetic because it was another snipe for the sake of it

End of story

i dont know what the big deal is jack was posting what has happened and to be honest i think he has a point.

Us supporters are told to continually dig deep into our pocket when times a tough yet if true they knocked back an offer of that amount well thats just crazy.

What were the conditions because if it involved March and a few others it would've certainly beeen worthwhile because that blokes time his done, time for a fresh face at the top.

interesting that the club wouldnt accept a "'donation"" from an Ex Sponsor of $2m , although it had conditions ;)

I have heard about this donation and the conditions attached. IMHO Gale was correct in not accepting the conditions. You really should not be raising this on a public forum. Why do you go out of your way to cause problems for the club? If you think the conditions are acceptable, I would question your morals or lack of in this case.

Why would Brendan be right in not accepting ?

First of all, it was wrong of me to question your morals ... I apologise for that comment. Yes it is a good thing to have an "injection of ideas and cash to the club", however there is a right way and a wrong way to do business. Ethically, this deal is wrong - its not good practice to "burn" people. Clubs are about people and their supporters. Clubs should be run by the elected board and CEO, not the sponsors.

without knowing the conditions it's crazy not to accept?

I hope I win lotto so I can head down to the club on Monday offer Benny a cheque and my list of conditions and tell him he is crazy not accept because it is $2mil for crying out loud

Let's see my conditions....  :whistle

1. Got change the jumper; get rid of the yellow sash put a pic of a tiger head on the jumper instead but the pic needs to be the tiger of the Kelloggs Frosty Flakes packet

2. Re-name the Jack Dyer Medal the "The Golden Turnup aka The Johnny Manton Medal"

3. Oh and Benny would have to resign ..why? Why not  ;D

That's not unreasonable for $2mil is it  :help :help

I have to laugh, posters on here complain about not getting value for money with the membership.
Club always keen to accept the supporters money which is hard earned  ::)
Not any more!
They screwed me once too often!
Finito!
