Denis Fitzgerald's reign comes to end

[bartman]

fantastic ... more bitch fighting within the club ... :thumn

Excellent... and Rothfield has promised massoud will dig up all the skeletons :?. So much for just getting on with letting the players and coach concentrate and play footy, eh.

 

[mickdo]

Its only just begun. Sit back, relax and watch the place implode...Philly and Joshy must be laughing their heads off. Too easy, too easy.
Phil Rothfield really is THE PIED PIPER.

Go and annoy the Raiders you whinger

Bart, why should this not be investigated???

 

[bartman]

I'm agreeing with Strides. The point about ongoing bitch-fighting.

You should know better than to try and put words in my mouth Mickdo... ;-)

Fair enough, but "So much for just getting on with letting the players and coach concentrate and play footy, eh" sounded like you just thought it should all be left alone.

 

[born an eel]

this should help attract new players and sponsors to the club.

Fair enough investigating for any improprieties, but does it need to be splashed across papers and stand DF down. While he is stood down who is performing his role.

If nothing is found to be wrong will they also go to the lengths of a public apology splashed across the papers.

 

[bartman]

Well Mickdo... I don't personally (as a member) think it is/was that big a deal? It seems to be tied up in the actions of the incumbent Directors and Tingha proprietor, if there is something to be investigated.

Investigate it yes, but it made no difference to the result and imo is not as big a deal as the media made out. Do you need to stand down the CEO to investigate how 300 flyers came about? Or would you (normally) put the CEO in charge of the investigation, and it would be over in say one working day?

But if this is the grand plan for how they get rid of Fitzy, then I guess we just have to sit back and watch it unfold. Though I think that this issue and the other two Robert Sassen AGM motions (that weren't motions, as reported by Fishy) all fall into the continued bitch-fighting category, rather than initiatives raised in the club's best interests. At least he had the sense to say that he/they would now let the 7-0 pipedream go, so that's one thing.

I just want the new board - all 5+2=7 of them - to get on with the job now... election and AGM are over.

You're kidding right?

it should, but they shouldn't be giving any info to the media

what is the point of that?

Stand down your CEO for an investigation and not release a media statement? Riiiight...

that's not what i'm on about

it was about what Rothfield said in his blog

and what was that?

 

[born an eel]

why stand down your CEO for a couple of $30 vouchers, can't an investigation take place around him. What are you most upset about, missing out on a voucher?

 

[bartman]

You're kidding right?

It was dumb, by the two parties concerned. But I don't think it was a biggie. At worst I'd compare it to kids giving out redskins before school elections, in the hope that it would result in votes.

Investigate it - pull in the Tingha's proprietor, and pull in the spokesperson for the incumbent Directors (I think Jurd was the phone number at the bottom of the how to vote). Issue a please explain, and then take internal action accordingly. The public explanation for the 300 vouchers given so far doesn't indicate than any election rules were broken, nor in terms of privacy of member mailing lists or pressure exerted on contractors to the club etc.

Nothing so far suggests the CEO has been involved to the level of needing to be stood down to investigate, but for Josh and his mates it was a huge story I suppose.

A lot will emerge about what has happened behind the scenes at Parramatta once this new board settles in. We have a great relationship with the new directors and we will be asking them for a lot of detail about Fitzgerald’s expenses and overseas travel once they get their hands on all the books. I don’t think he has been all that accountable over the years because he practically hand-picked his own board. Josh Massoud will dig up all the skeletons, trust me.

El D, nothing you just quoted from Rothfield came from 3P, so what are you referring to?

[El Diablo]

it's seems pretty clear Rothfield thinks 3P will be giving them dirt to publish

if that happens i do not see the point. just more negative stories

 

[Gronk]

The voucher "scandle" had no impact on the results and only gives the Fitzy witch hunt momentum. If the 3P cowboys think that dragging the club through the mud once again is good for us then that'll do me. It will only end up in court with Fitzy defending his rights to a payout plus accrued entitlements.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[Twizzle]

I'm just waiting for them to name it "vouchergate"

 

[strider]

i've pretty much lost complete confidence in 3P ... they are obviously still feeding the maggots in the ultimate plan to get rid of fitzy, despite it never being about fity :roll:
