Board Spill? / Challenge called off/ Malvern Hotel group has re-emerged [update]

[blaisee]

And just another question

This alternate ticket only has 7 members

Who do they want to fill the other positions?

Or do they just run as a 7 person board?

They want 2 of the existing board to join then Benny gale and someone else

Zig and Zag on Mmm

Bryan Wood was on SEN after 7am

Seriously, if thus "focus on footy" group want to be tkaen seriously then dont let him speak

He mumbled, stumbled  and bumbled thorugh his answer.

Leach asked some really good questions and he showed no confidence in his answers

Only time he showed any confidence was when he was clippong the incumbents

[Jackstar 1960]

Vowed id never do it again Jack 

Tough gig sitting on the board of a footy club

Have said it many times, really do wonder if people actually understand what involves and how tough it is. It isnt a popularity contest

Watching yesterday's collective circuses proved that many of those people don't have a clue

Bryan Wood further proved it this morning on SEN

Obviously were forced to drop the "Rolls" out of their name with their latest performance....

So there's so much talk about getting rid of Hardwick.
Main problem is finding the money to do so. Figure quoted is $1.3M. We can't afford that but the argument is that keeping him will cost more in members, attendance and sponsorship.

However there was a little thing mentioned by Caro on Footy Classified last night.
She dropped a comment about the payout being a problem for the "off field spend cap". I think she called it the "soft" cap.
Thinking about this it seems that if we payout the $1.3M it will be included in our spending cap and we therefore have to pay a "tax" on top of that to the AFL.

Ouch.

PS: Must admit I liked Caro's article quoted above. She hit a lot of good marks.
The one I think she missed, as do most commentators, is the poor and decreasing communication from the board. The review is a prime current example

Geez Geez the club turns over what per year and can't find 1.3

FFs take a loan out, equaliAtion fund, sell grigg to Glue factory

She brought that up on Footy Classified last night....

Queen Caro

Accept that but I was thinking about things like cancelling the Fighting Tiger, failure of RFC Official posting, early board resignations and appointments, secret deliberations of the "Star Chamber" Nominations Committee and changes to it's format and processes, muddling of TFT and Jack Dyer in financials, even the re-signing of Hardwick and current personnel changes.

but the board has done an outstanding job. 

Take away the ftf and we lose money every year - the supporters have done a great job, not the board - take away the 6-8 mill in donations and we still have a 6 mill dollar debt. Some stuffing gullible morons out there

[Stalin]

It's the supporters fault however the club is now Shyte at football and not too 4

Cause they wouldn't tolerate a length rebuild. Oh no sir

They remanded finals almost immediately.

As the great Betamax dan Richardson explained to us unwashed masses recently. Perhaps while playing with grigg in the bay
