Ricky Stuart quits Parramatta Eels for Canberra Raiders job

[strider]

so terry "leaked" that board members want different things .... who told him?

If such a clause exists in Sticky's contract it's because he demanded it as a condition of taking the poisoned chalice that is our head coaching job. Not because the club offered it out of the goodness of our heart.

You can bet future coaches will be demanding the same release clause as long as our board keeps playing politics with the NRL side.

Who the f**k would agree to a pre-nup clause like that with Stuart, so he could walk at any time ?

Whoever agreed to this get out clause is a soft c**k.

Or was under instructions from the Board to sign "at any costs" the biggest name available in coaching at the time.

I don't buy the "beggars can't be choosers" position.

This is the whole problem - the directors can have different views , they can having different opinions on who shoujd be coach, they don't all have to be behind Ricky - but all these discussions should happen in the board room and stay there, once outside the room directors to unite behind the boards decisions. Obviously someone is leaking board room discussions to advance their agenda.

It is amazing terry mentions above the board shoujd unite behind Ricky then goes on to announce the directors individual views on coaching to the whole world - doesn't this contradict his "we should unite behind Ricky " statement .

Maybe, just maybe it is being leaked by disgruntled board members no longer in power in hope that Sticky will leave.

Then we can call for a new board and vote 3P back in again.

That's how transactions work between parties in an unequal power relationship.

Why would the coach care about the actions of ex-board members? They're not the ones making his job harder.

You realise the current mob sacked the CEO weeks ago and are dragging arse getting a new one so they can make all the decisions themselves. They're not f**king qualified to run the club. Their sole job is to choose a CEO.

Although it sounds like they've had one the entire time.

They're not all ex board members. Maybe it's just all a big coincidence this is happening.

Sticky wouldn't want all this crap going on in the background, he made that clear when he took the job on.

If that's the case then we should take what we can get when it comes to our new jumper sponsor.

Hmmm that's a hard one to work out.

I wonder what Terry and his gang hope to gain by calling for a new election.

I'm no genius, so maybe someone else can figure it all out.

We might have to.

It's actually the perfect time to call an election...the new incoming board would not have the usual pesky problem of finding a reason to sack the CEO!!!

 

[Angry_eel]

Has there been an open letter? If so, Can anyone link or forward the email please.

 

[Stagger eel]

Any chance we can just let the remaining 5 directors focus on running the club without interruption outside? I'm more concerned about the input of the former CEO rather a disgruntled ex player with an axe to grind

Argh, the "Danial Mortimer" edict, that worked out well for us.

I am pretty sure they mentioned unity and stability on the board,

their first action would be to vote off whoever has been leaking to them :sarcasm: causing instability

Fair dos. How many times do you reckon this happens, as a rough proportion of the number of contracts agreed? The vast majority of contracts are honoured in full......the fact that a couple of blokes either a) exercise a right that they actually had inserted in the contract or b) try to wiggle out what they agreed for decent or other reasons hardly constitutes evidence that contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on.

I realise that Pete's partly upset that his mate got sacked by the Raiders, and I'm not knocking loyalty to one's mates.

Although David lost his job...he was fairly well compensated. The Raiders had to pay him out..The question I want to know is WHY Clubs insist on a multi-year contract. Sign them yearly and renew them yearly..
How many coaches have been speared in the past decade on the whim of a 'committee'. It is not the committee's money to fork out..It is the money the poor fans pay into membership....BUT the fans cop it in the neck again..Joke....

It's probably not the players that insist on it... unless it's a great coach of course.
