You don't have any credibility Poupou? And all year long I've been following your stats on LBAs... shame.

I just make them up every week.

Sorry guys.

Just to comment on that article (even though this thread seems to have gone a different direction!)

Reading between the lines: Is it possible that Duncan quit because the board wanted to 'squeeze' more money out of Pirtek?
Picture the board meeting discussion "sure, we're getting $950k a year, but Ozzy tells us that we've got someone else who can give us $1.3mill per year - let's give Pirtek an ultimatum, give us more cash or else"
Duncan "hm - that seems a bit mercenary to me - uhh loyalty or some crap? In fact, Ozzy is incompetant as a CEO - how could he find us such a deal?!?!?" (not that I have vested interests here....)
Others "Do you think you might be a bit compromised in your decision making?"
Duncan "Me?? What about you Spags? Um - you loaned Ozzy money 6 months ago - sure he told us all about it at the time, but aren't YOU a bit compromised too?"

Duncan ragequits.

I'd say that's exactly what happened OMC.
Does anyone know who the new sponsor might be?

Well that's what I remember from the board meeting anyway.

Signed,

That is certainly a plausible theory and unless Duncan refutes it, not too hard to believe. I would really like to hear exactly why he stood down rather than just the vague explanation we have on the record so far. Maybe you're right though Old man and he won't reveal the details to save face, who knows?
His position on the board was always an untenable one due to the massive conflict of interest whether he was voted in or not.

Yeah I'm guessing Glen Duncan is at fault in all of this. I reckon the board and CEO are all innocent and it's sad they got caught up in this.

So who do you hope is the bad guy here - the bloke who is gone, or the people still at the club?

Because until we know the truth, it could go either way, and our opinions are all based on what we hope happened.

I hope it's none of them and that this is a minor transgression greatly inflated by the media. That would surely be the best possible outcome for our club. I like Glenn Duncan and I don't want him painted as the bad guy either.

I hope the SMH are forced to issue a retraction.

I hope Pirtek pull the pin so we can get the new sponsor with all the cash.

They won't retract zip. I doubt that they simply made it up. They might be bad journos, but it's not New Idea. They would have an informant who they feel is credible enough to go to print with.

There is chance however that the informant is telling porkies because of his/her agenda or faction.

Man, this whole saga is like a bitter divorce that just won't go away.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Duncan is yet to refute OMC's theory.

If the new sponsor thing is true then so do I.
