Osborne: Why I had to quit

[forward pass]

Neither of those two. Think outside the square !

Andrew Hill works for GWS doesn't he?

No. Instead of thinking outside the square - think sports venues !!!;-)

I was told that the club was interested in a particular person but I have no idea how far it has progressed.

 

[Jake the snake]

from his point of view, it achieved the result he was looking for.

Providing $1M a year to the club, will give him some say in decisions by the club, especially depending on what is written into the contract agreement.

There's no such thing as free money. Just as players are expected to behave off the field to protect the clubs image sponsor require a club to live up to certain standards.

I think Duncan is concerned that the board may hire Zappia.

But now he's not even in a position to have a say anymore. He could of instigated the the investigation into Ozzy while he was still on the board. He has shot himself in the foot tbh. If he had not resingned from the board he could instigate all these things he's saying in the paper. But now he's not in a position to do so cause he quit. Dumb move.

If Duncan wanted a say of how the place is run why did he resign from the board?? Idiot.

No point staying on a board if you believe the CEO is not acting professionally and ethically, and the other board members didn't agree.
I wouldn't stay there and watch it happen either.

one of the articles recently had a quote from Duncan repeating something Bennet had said in the past, "if you let it happen you are just as responsible" or something to that effect. He tried to correct it from within but when that failed he had to resign.

We are better of withouut the "conflict of interest" arguement anyway. It doesn't mean he can't be in discussion with the board though.

Especially considering his mob is pumping so much $$$$$$ into the eels

 

[mickdo]

He did state that he wants to be involved in the decision making process

Frankly he should go and get f**ked. If he wanted that he should have stayed on the board.

Last time I checked, he gets his company's name on our jerseys, on merchandise and various other things. He also got a seat on the board (whether you agree or disagree with that), and decided to give that up himself. It isn't as if he is getting nothing for his $1m.

I get the feeling he was banging his head against the wall with the other board members. I think the current board members are on another level.

so what happens in the future if duncan decides now osbourne is gone he wants his spot on the board back?

Well he does have bargaining power. Maybe the eels can't afford to lose his sponsorship.

Got the merkins by the balls, as I see it.

as should happen with anyone who wants to sit on the board, they put themselves up for election by the members.

thbere's one important thing you forgot that he has , a clause saying they can pullout of the sponsorship agreement if there is a change of CEO.

Wants wrong with talking to him, it doesn't mean you have to do everything he wants.

I think he was expecting to be able to run the show. He's still trying.

He's lost my vote

He's lost my vote

never had my vote in the first place.

Appointing Duncan to the board was not a smart decision to begin with. Too much conflict of interest.

But at least he has shaken things up, Osborne would have continued to get away with murder if it was just his pals on the board.
