Crisis rocks Parramatta club as director quits

[mickdo]

i cant be bothered hunting backwards through the entire thread to look but is there a direct quote anywhere from duncan saying he quit because of osbourne? lots of smoke everywhere but i cant see any flames yet

Only quote from him I've been able to find, but they may be more:

mr duncan declined to comment on the osborne matter yesterday, except to say: ''the recent decisions of the board go against all my business principles which place me in a position of no longer being able to meet my expectations and duties as a director.''

Is there an actual announcement when we are no longer in crisis ? Very confusing. I think we need to have specific categories of crisis, like the website www.terror-alert.com. They have code green right up to code red. I'd say we are currently in code yellow. Thoughts ?

I thought the only time we weren't in crisis was when we are winning.

Wow, that would put us just below SEVERE. That's worse than I thought. :crazy:

Just a thought. Are you an interior decorator ?

Well I don't necessarily think that's where we are now... we just need that colour on there somewhere

God no. Puce just sounds like puke, so that's always a good idea for an alert!

I know, aren't they saying he's fled the scene of the crime whilst laughing maniacally?

If he's on leave then why is he still on the phone outside the leagues club?

If he looks bad then he must be bad. That picture is all the evidence some need to get out the rope and the newspapers know it.

Bless your little heart.

Do you really think there's an investigation going on?

There is, albeit headed up by Jude Findlay. An associate of Roy's since his school days, so one could hazard a guess of any findings.

The very investigative mob that Roy used to clean the place out after 3p got in, and still active in the ledger up until end of season.

Money well needed by Jude if reports of Findlay & Associates going belly-up.

A former prison inmate too if anyone had forgotten.

Welcome to Parramatta.

I thinks its fair to say that when Pirteks deal is up they'll not be renewing unless Ozzy gets the flick and Duncan is reinstated.

Why?

His job as a Board member of Parra is to ensure the smooth running of the business, and that everything is above board. His job as a businessman is to ensure Pirtek gets the best visibility it can.

You got what you voted in, only those with blinders on didnt see that or something like it.

I'm struggling to understand what you mean?

Your sentiment is shared by others, namely: that the current mob are somehow WORSE than Fitzgerald/ Overton?

Please explain exactly how? These blokes make more money than anyone else, spend cash chasing big name players, spend cash retaining promising juniors, and don't cry poor and waste all their time overseas at pokie conventions.

I suppose it's unfair to say they're doing a great job - but when you compare it to having (imo) a lying mongrel who would say/do anything to penny pinch --> what's the big problem? Fitzy was hopeless, anything is better.
