Good question
Getting the PLC and PNRL mixed up thinking they are one and the same still is what’s stoping these reforms from passing. Spans and his ilk are using team performance as a way of convincing people to vote against the reforms. It’s sickening.

So we are stuck with Max for the foreseeable future??? Even Fitzy was voting yes FFS!!

“Stuck with Max” sounds like a bad thing. Would you prefer to be run by Fat Tony and his hand picked cronies again ?

And that is the problem. We had 100 brain dead idiots following a few self interested ringleaders.

Yeah that’s exactly what I meant :rolling_eyes: But surely being under an administrator for years on end can’t be good for the club?? Anyone with a brain wanted the yes vote to get up.

Au contraire, in hindsight the club being run by an administrator has dragged us into the 21st century. Once these reforms are finally enacted, it will close the door on the dark days of the club being run by amateurs (with some perhaps using the cash cow for their personal benefit). I don’t care if we are in administration for another 10 years if it means that the merkins can’t get their hand on our assets.

Seriously :neutral_face:

Once this yes vote gets up that’s what will happen. Why do you think these clowns are against it. 10 years of administration??? Are you for real?

Of course I am for real. 20 years of admin is better than giving control to bonehead factions.

Admin is not there by choice. They are there because 27% of plc members can't see the woods through the trees.

Push for Parramatta Leagues Club reforms partially successful
Adrian Proszenko
September 10, 2019

It’s taken three years and more than half a dozen attempts, but Parramatta Leagues Club members have finally agreed to a new constitution that ensures the Eels are protected from privatisation and will continue to receive leagues club funding.

The latest attempt to introduce the governance changes were passed at the ballot box at Bankwest Stadium on Tuesday night. A total of 76 per cent of the votes were in favour - just above the 75 per cent threshold required to amend the constitution.

"We have to vote ‘yes’ so we can get on with it and Max can retire," Fitzgerald said, before adding: "I am sure we will beat the Broncos on Sunday."

However, the first of the two motions fell five agonising votes short of allowing the complete reforms, that would have allowed members to install their own directors from 2021.

The vote took place just a day after the Heraldrevealed that the Leagues Club had been cleared of salary cap rorting after a year-long investigation by Liquor & Gaming NSW. The regulator investigated allegations that Eels players were given subsidised rent on properties owned by the league club. However, there was no evidence of any breaches of the NRL’s salary cap or the Registered Clubs Act. PLC chief executive Bevan Paul was also cleared of any impropriety following a raft of allegations, that were believed to have emanated from a disgruntled former employee.


The Eels have been reliant on grants from the leagues club to help fund their football operations, although they are hoping to get to a point where they are self sufficient.
