[Hard Roar Tiger]

He tips money into the footy club and wants us to win a flag.

We all want to win a flag

But....I wait to see how he intends as a board member he is going to ensure this happens.   

I'm always concerned when potential board members flag how much they have given to the club or that they are a sponsor.

What difference does it make? Doesn't mean they will make a good director or that it gives them some special right to a place on the board.

Other direcotrs on the board have given significant amounts to the FTF but I don't see that appearing in the media...

That's why it concerns me

Sorry, makes no sense.
No one knows him - it shows he is prepared to put his money where his mouth is.
Hasn't threatened to stop spending money on the club, wants to join for the right reasons.

But let's get all paranoid because he has money

There are plenty of yobs with a lot of money especially from property development. Just because you have a lot of money, doesn't mean you can add something to our board. He should be outlining how he will improve our board. FFS it's the easiest thing to say that you are frustrated with the premiership drought.  It's much harder to outline exactly how you can change that as a member of the Richmond board. By all means he should be able to nominate himself. For me he must show me what he can bring to the board that will lead us to success. This current board has overseen us become extremely successful off field. Their job is to provide the football department with the best facilities and back up that our budget allows. Ultimately they are not in charge of Chaplin trying to run around Nahas or Cotchin getting 9 disposals in our most important game. Having said that, by the end of the year they will have an easy decision on whether to extend Dimma's contract.

Has nothing to do with him "having money" or at least it shouldn't ....but

Has to do with the fact that in the article he sells himself with the facts his company sponsors the club and he's tipped in a $1mil to the FTF. I didn't make it about money, he did. He's used it as some sort of badge of honour that should help him get elected. It shouldn't, it should solely about what he brings to the Board table. I am interested to see how he pitches himself to the members eg what his going to bring to the table, his skill set, his expertise.

TBBH I don't want to hear from another person telling me what's (supposedly) wrong with the place I want to hear what they are going to do and sorry saying winning a flag doesn't cut it

Actually as a significant sponsor of the club questions can be raised as to whether there is / would be a conflict of interest here

Exactly, well said

An Italian Aussie dictator with pockets full of cash gets my vote ahead of your try hard Peggy sue types.

When can we vote WP? Stop being paro and get onboard pal

[Mardi Gras Tiger]

Oh yes, thats one ride I'm in for too.

It seems like we have similar likes and dislikes, Angus 

[Gigantor]

i would have thought after the Clinton years we would have become a little more conservative , than just throwing our lot in with people promising a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow .Surely some scrutiny is required beforehand

Love how people twist the story and make it about the ca$h 
Where has he promised a pot of gold?

So please enlighten me Angus, how exactly is Russo going to win us a flag?

On a board of 9 he will have one vote, so please tell me how he is gong to make sweeping changes at the club and of course win is a flag?

Actually would be more interested to know what you and others think the actual role of a director on footy club board is.
