Richmond Tigers record $500,000 profit ..... (Age)

FWIW Walsh has resigned

Wonder how he is going to be replaced? Me thinks it will be via the board appointed method

Oops forgot about that WP. Thanks for the reminder.

[Gigantor]

when did he resign?

[RedanTiger]

Whether I agree or not how Speed and Walsh were appointed is irrelevant to this. ......
However, he needs to outline what he brings to the table.......
I just wish people would not announce challenges until they have their campaign ready - FFS they've been planning this for a while I would have hoped. By having it ready they could initially outline at least some of the ways they would improve the board and then they could inform us when their full plan of action will be released.......
So I look forward to hearing what he plans to bring to the club.

How can you say that the way Speed and Walsh were appointed to the board is irrelevant but criticise Russo for not giving detailed plans about what problems he sees and what remedies he proposes.
At least we didn't have to worry about any plan from Speed or Walsh. Two board vacancies were created a month out from the AGM by the resignation of ten-year directors, the new directors were appointed and then deemed elected when no other nominees were offered.

[Yeahright]

Don't expect much a plan guys. Look at the clubs five pillars junk or whatever it was. Fluff sells to these people

I didn't say the way they were elected was irrelevant.  I said my thoughts on their appointment are irrelevant.
Speed's cv alone would have won me over. Walsh probably less so but is still more impressive than Russo's. When.  you have the runs on the board your plans are less important to articulate than if you have no prior involvement in sports admin. If our club was a property development firm I would require less information from Russo as his success in the area would do all the talking. Does that make sense?

Have you seen Russo's CV or just made an assumption based on an arrogant generalisation of his field of expertise?

[Stalin]

What's is penny and Dimmas plan again?

Takes two to tango

[Yeahright]

So no, you haven't seen his CV

[YellowandBlackBlood]

So no, you haven't seen his CV

Other than owning Caydon, I don't know anything about the man. I don't think it's arrogant to expect to know a bit more about the man. He is hardly a household name when it cones to sports admin.
I would have thought it is up to him to sell himself if he wants to get on the board.

No need to get aggressive Smokey. I know a few developers and they are all great blokes. Doesn't mean they can run a club and doesn't mean that can't.
In my opinion the board has done a great job financially with the club. They're trying to support the football department. That's their job.

[Petey]

He asked you a reasonable question, how was that being aggressive?

The addition of the word arrogant was an attack on me. It was completely unnecessary.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

One other thing that concerns me about Russo is that he is 100% owner of Caydon. That means he is used to making decisions on his own. He doesn't have to sit at a table as an equal to anyone else.  That's what you have to do as a board member.
Of course, he could be a great addition to our board and I could be wrong, but everything I've read so far hasn't persuaded me to vote for him. Mind you, he may change my mind when I hear his entire strategy on how he will improve the board and what he'll bring to the table.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Maybe he has a board, I know plenty of good sized privately owned businesses who appoint a board to ensure correct levels of accountability and governance.
