the only timne i can think of where members forced the clubs hand was whem michael pahoff got the numbers and forced an egm. thank Geez he did so i say 5.5 million in debt and spiralling out of control and the board satisfied with the advice it got.
how quickly we forget eh.
What are talking about?
There was never ever an EGM because Mr Parhoff didn't submit his petition.
We had an election but there was no EGM. Don't put him up on a pedestal.
But don't let any facts get in the way of what actually happened
fair enough he may not have forced a egm but he sure as hell shook em up and we did get an election with a new alternative ticket as an option.
it is the only instance that i can think of where supporters or a supporter has influenced the board. good on him i say.
unless your have power or money us ordinary people have little or no chance of either influencing the club or getting elected. yep we get lip service a token gesture of gratitude to ensure we by a membership.
the only real way i have of voicing my displeasure at the club is to stop buying memberships and making donations. which i have duly done.
there is no checks and balances on the workings of the board or the footy dept. one way of haveing them accountable is by having independent revues look at there performance and results every3 or 4 yrs or so.
i rememberr well the abuse pahoff copped from ordinary supporters when he showed the balls and voiced his displeasure about what was going on. i remember well the threats and the diabolical way the club treated him why anyone would want to put themselves thru that is beyond me.
most of you sat back lambasted him and were quite prepared to sit back do nothing and watch the club go down the financial gurgler. 5.5 mil in debt and hardly a squeak until pahoff forced people to pay attention .
yep, it's amazing how quickly we forget things that never actually happened.
lmao.
now, if your gripe is the members not utilising their powers, whose fault it that?
Those that are full of pee and wind but no action?
annnd, i didnt miss the point at all. Members do not, nor should they, have any say in the day to day running of the club. They do have the power to behindhole those that appoint the people that do, just like every other similar organisation in the world.
lol im yet to see you grasp the point of any discussion on these boards . you are either just plain disingenuous or plain old stupid im still working out which one. and yes you totally missed the point again.
why am i not surprised..
