I can feell a mutiny coming on

[Ox]

With all these accusations flying around,
with all the ex board members getting vocal
and with Leaping Leon becoming involved on a personal level
how long do u think it will take before a take-over bid occurs at board level.

It's humorous the way they all have something to say yet
play down,even blatantly deny any chance of involvement.

Surely this has all the markings of the emergance of an alternative
administration.
They'd be stupid to openly admit that this was the case as it would eliminate
any element of surprise that the attack would have but why else,really,
would so many have so much to say.

It cant get any worse.

One thing is for sure.
Frawley and his mates are gone at the end of the year.

Hopefully we'll still be around to enjoy the benefits.-$$$

[froars]

I hope so, matey lol

LMAO@"Fletcher "Ox" Christian"

LMAO@Me using LMAO lol

[Ox]

just a bit bored......my meeting is here now.
Bye.

[Ox]

Newsflash on 10 news.

Well.it's here.

100 signatures on Sunday is all they need.

Who's signing ??

[Struggletown]

Its being organized by Michael Pahoffm who posts under Phantom on PRE.
He has been getting it legal checked all day and has been examining the constitution of RFC.
He'll be getting signatures on Sunday at the game at the Punt rd end of the ground.

[Ox]

Get the Phantom over here Boogie!

LMAOOOOOO@Boogies info.

[Struggletown]

I will ask him to Ox and lm sure he will too.
The ghost who posts!
He is a mutineer is the phantom!

[Harry]

Yep - the Phantom from PRE has organised it.  He's been posting a few drafts of the petition all day and finally got legal advice and went to the media.  People interested to sign can do so outside the punt road end side of the MCG.

The petition is a no confidence vote in the president and the board members - one that will spill all board positions and have the positions re-elected at an EGM.

[Ox]

Funny Bugger Boogie - LMAO@Posting Ghost.

See what u can do.
Im sure we're as entitled to such privy information as the next Forum

[Ox]

Harry,
Im impressed with his fortitude.
Its one thing talking about it but a completely different thing to take action.
Well done Phantom.

[Struggletown]

Ive just sent an e-mail asking him to come over to OER to post his reasons behind the EGM petition and whats required for the spill of all positions.

The phantom of the RFC soap Oparah is here..........

[Jackstar]

There is only one problem with all this, How are we going to attract a decent coach with all this instabilty? Also ,in creates uncertainity with major sponsors, this is all very tricky.
I hope this guy getting this petition up and going has got half a brain and not just another deadhead from PRE

[Puntroadroar]

so let me get this right.............whats going to happen if the EGM is held on no one runs?

I think the timing is a bit off, Casey needs to be held accountable for the past few seasons but one would atleast have a decent ticket ready before giving a no confidence vote surely.

just seems a bit strange to me.

I feel all this has done is opened us up for more whippings from the love affair journos have with Richmond. No alternative ticket? but hoping this forces people to step forward? what a joke

what a joke this club has become, well done phantom.

the circus continues...........

Irate members move to unseat Tigers' board
By Dan Oakes, David Reed

Turmoil has again reared its head at Richmond, with disgruntled members launching a push to unseat the board.

A spokesman for the group, Michael Pahoff, said last night that it would petition for an extraordinary general meeting to be called, at which a motion of no confidence would be put.

Pahoff said a petition containing 100 signatures would be presented at Richmond's game against Fremantle at the MCG tomorrow, which is standard business practice for the calling of such a meeting.

"(We will put forward) a motion of no confidence in current president Clinton Casey and the board of the Richmond Football Club because of continued financial losses, instability in the general administration and marketing department and continued poor performance of its football department," Pahoff told Channel Ten.

Richmond director of football Greg Miller, however, said last night that it would be foolish to call for a spill of board positions at this stage of the season. "My major concern is for the whole football club but the football team (in particular), and the last thing you want is any further disruptions, and an EGM, I don't know what you'd gain from that in the middle of the season," Miller said.

The Tigers sit 13th on the ladder with only four wins. Coach Danny Frawley is widely expected to lose his job at the end of the season, chief executive Ian Campbell was sacked two weeks ago and the Transport Accident Commission is considering dropping its sponsorship.

This fellow was on 3AW last night - saying the same tihngs.

When asked by Rex if he was on a ticket looking to take over the group , he said NO but he knows there are people out there that are "interested"

Excuse me?

Look I am as frustrated and disillisuioned as the next person but this is a joke IMO.

This is a typical example of what I refer to as "petition syndrome". The best way for me to describe it is like this.

A few months ago I was bailed up at my local shopping centre - a group of people were collecting signatures to send to the government because they are not happy with the amount of traffic that goes down a particular raod near there houses.

When I was asked "what alternative are you putting forward?" Athe reply was "that's not our problem that's for the government to fix, we just want them to change it". I told them I wouldn't sign their petition unless they could give me a fair and reasonable alternative.

The same goes for the this petition tomorrow - you can't not petition something like this unless there is a viable alternative. to say "I am not involved but I am know there are people who are interested" is a joke. The people collecting the signatures should be those about to mount a challenge not some group who hope someone is going to do it.

It is very easy to collect signatures (even the blokes on 3AW said so) but they mean absolutely nothing if there is credible and responsible alternative
