John Ilhan to run for the board for 2008

[mightytiges]

While talking about Steve Bedwell backing off today from his challenge on Rod Butterss at the Saints, Mark Doran on SEN had a little dig at John Ilhan saying Bedwell was like Crazy John who pops up every year saying he wants to be on the Richmond board then disappears again after getting the pludits and publicity while the club gets nothing.

he will inject $$$ for us ...

elect him in 08 !

[Moi]

Alan Bond's making money again - how about him lol

[bluey_21]

Yeah, might be able to get a decent recruiting department

[Gordon Bennett]

elect him in 08 !

Do you know that for sure, and if so, whether it'll be of any substance? The answer is "no".

Mark Doran has gone up in my estimation.

[mightytiges]

Does anyone know who are the three on the RFC board up for re-election at the end of the year?

Is it Miller, Dalton and OShannassy?

If he really loves the Club as much as he claims torch, he'd pour the money regardless.

He isn't what we need on the board.

Football club boards need people who are prepared to work together when things are tough and when things are great.

It's funny that now that the finances have turned around due to the hard work of the current board Mr Crazy is interested in being on the board What a surprise. Come on the board now when the hardest work is already done and enjoy the spoils - yeah right

O'Shannassy, Dalton and Cameron were last year.  Miller is next year.

Not sure who is up. I think they had to draw straws or something as they were all elected at the same time.

I seem to recall Clinton Casey would have been one, so that would mean Penny Haines seeing she took his place.
The other 2 have to be out of March, Lord, Matthies and Mithen.

Thanks FF  . I was being lazy not doing a search.

Just checked. Mithen was last year and Cameron the year before. Leaves March, Matthies and Haines up for re-election this year.

March was appointed on 1/10/02 (last elected 2004)
Cameron - 16/12/99 (2005)
Lord - 23/10/01  (2005)
Dalton - 9/11/04 (2006)
Matthies - 29/1/04 (2004)
Mithen - 20/4/04 (2006)
Miller - 22/12/04  (2005)
OShannassy - 22/12/04 (2006)
Haines - 12/11/05 (took Casey's position who was last elected 2004)

Ahh, that's right. The reports last year kept mistakenly saying Cameron when it was actually Mithen.

That's a pretty comprehensive search in the end. Worth the wait.

I dare say that most of the work that has been done to get us in the position we are now in financially has to do with Steven Wright and not so much the board.

The CEO reports to the board Bull - and ultimately the board give "yeahs & neahs" on long term strategic decisions. For example Boards sign off on the budgets etc - management put them together Boards give final approval - that's what happens in nearly every company.

Also, Directors bring with them the contacts regarding sponsorship. For example it was Gary March who bought AFG to the RFC - Steven Wright did the deal but it was Gary who made the first contact and bought them to the table.

[blaisee]

Millers ability and contribution to us becoming financially viable should not be understated in all this.

HE has contributing massive amounts of funds indirectly through his richmond executive and another little money earner just comp[leted that will profit the club +180k to be announced soon.

 

[mightytiges]

That's true blaisee.

Well if John Ilhan wants to get on the board and be Prez will he challenge March at this year's upcoming election or will it be more hot air?! He's been saying for 3 years about wanting to join the board in 2008. There's a quote from 2004 in the media of him saying that.

Ofcourse the CEO reports to the board, but Wright has done all of the hard work to get things where they are. He is the one who has done all of the number crunching etc to make sure that we are making a profit. It's no coincidence that things have improved since he has come on board.

Just look how back things were when Brayshaw was in charge and that other American dude. It wasnt the board's fault it was the CEO's of the time.
