Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and even more Crap XXII

[Gronk]

I couldnt give a shit if foran backflips. I still think he is massively overpaid and overrated and no better than our own Norman. We should go for Hodgkinson who would do a great job and go after a couple of quality backs with forans money.

I just dont want Sandow re signed cause that will be the WOOOOORST possible outcome.

I'm not totally against that idea.

 

[El Diablo]

it is the boards responsibility to know, they again failed miserably.

rubbish

that's the CEO's job

 

[Craig Johnston]

In principle agreed, but marriages f**k up and terms can go awry too.

Due diligence is great but regardless of what the history is, arrangements can be twisted down the line for the purpose of f**king over and ransacking the 1st parties who entered such an agreement with good intentions only to become innocent victims.

Are you not aware that this shit goes on big-time and the fact that the law mostly fully endorses such tactics because they reap plenty of $$$$ out of such such rape, pillage and plunder?

due dilligence and general governance isn't about "winning" or "losing" this situation, it's about not looking a complete shambles long term

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Stop the leaks!!

Fair enough I know you don't agree with the current administration, but do you really think the eels leaked the story ?

It came from forans side.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Are you being serious Casper?

Can you enlighten me on why you are relating today's news in which a player has signed a contract for Season 2016 on the board that was removed in April 2013? I'll tell ya, absolutely sweet FA.

There was a stuff up with DCE and the Titans but you dont see people blaming Michael Searle for it?

Zero accountability, that's what it's called.

Acknowledge or Accept the stuff up made & ensure the fans that Foran is coming no matter what rubbish has been said, stated or made.

Generally speaking, there is a negative agenda going on here in this thread that goes back years and years and it embraces a group of perpetrators and it also taints others with the same brush when really there is no connection between what happened in the past (the agenda) and with what is happening now.

I agree that Sharp & co have to take full-responsibility for what has happened with Seward. So lets wait and see what they release to the media in the near future.
Removing Seward is at least one step in the right clean-up direction.
Confronting Foran and co over the Seward tainted contract is another good direction.

 

[Suitman]

rubbish

that's the CEO's job

In reality, yes, and ordinarily, I would place trust in a CEO that has been appointed to do these deals and make these decisions.
But this was the biggest player deal in the club's history.
With the way things are at the Eels at the moment (salary cap issues, NRL breathing down our neck etc.....), don't you at least think the Chairman would want to cast an eye over the deal before it is signed off?

Suity

 

[Delboy]

If and when mud is thrown at the Eels, I always look for the fingerprints of a failed emperor . Funnily, these journos have good links in that direction

Coincidence , ummm

:lol: Hokdo is chasing 750k plus, Foran is twice the player he is.

 

[Craig Johnston]

i've not been one to get involved in the current anti/pro-sharp debates, and i can't stand fitzy as much as the next bloke, but one thing i remember very well from fitzy's era is that overton NEVER got involved....so why is sharp? maybe the nrl needs to jet in someone with a track record that the board simply have no choice but to trust, i seriously doubt they can find someone of that calibre on their own at the moment

This x 10000000000000000. Anyone who thinks otherwise are nothing but an apologist or like Casper off with the pixies.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

how can he be only in it for the money if he takes less elsewhere due to principle?

what are you smoking?

no one would begrudge him for telling us to get f**ked

Who says he will get less money??

Earning the $$$$ promised/guranteed, Foran can stay and play top class 6 or 7 for the next four seasons with no bullshit back doors in place to opt out.

What is wrong with that?

How unfair will that be to Brad Arthur & co building up a squad around Foran to win a premiership if Foran chucked it in after the first or second season?

It's what we all want.

What is wrong with contractual certainty in place with generous consideration remunerated?

How do you feel Brad Arthur will feel, and others, if Foran, during the first or second season, took the opportunity to use a piss-weak excuse to leave the club because of even better opportunities presented to him?

What about all the Eels fans and members, staff and other squad members? How will it look to them?

F**k that, I'd rather not have him here.

I'm all for what SS, DA & BA are doing here with this matter.

 

[Delboy]

Craig, the one thing that Sharp stands for, is that the Eels must improve and go forward

Not helped by the clowns that constantly backstab and believe they were "born to rule"

Let's give him the opportunity to succeed now he has a board that is elected supporting him, not the alliance of haters that have hung around for the past 3/4 years

 

[The Colonel]

So, anything exciting happen today?

here's an idea....back yourself to get your shit together.

i'd rather our club get sorted....again LONG TERM

Stop pulling figures out of you arse.

If he indeed wants 750k then he can go f**k himself.

put his hand up for ceo if he wants to get hands on, the board is there for LONG TERM strategy.

No, pou isnt back yet

 

[Casper The Ghost]

By this club??? Constantly.

I get that. :lol:

Lets give Sharp the next two years to grow and be the chairman we all dream for.

By then, if he has not matured, we get rid of him.

 

[Suitman]

No, pou isnt back yet

This club really IS in the shit if that would be considered exciting.

Suity

 

[Casper The Ghost]

13 pages of people having a wank over Foran and the DT story.
WTF cares if he does not want to come we go after cornish. Cost us $200k.

Why are you not the chairman of this club, mr simpleton?

Oh, that's right you are too busy chasing pussy..... :lol:
