Eels Board meets with Stephen Kearney

[Gronk]

Greg Prichard ‏ @gregprichard https://twitter.com/#!/NRL_RUMOUR_MILL Word out of Eels is that sponsor Pirtek will issue statement backing coach Steve Kearney and his 5-year plan.

When we hear what the Board says, it can go here too.

 

[parra-matters]

lol doesn't pirtek run the board anyway? seems that way.

 

[Ollie Webb]

If correct, Pirtek should be concerned about their business and not meddle in the coaching position.

The retention or sacking of SK is a matter for the Club not the major sponsor. They want to appoint the CEO, now the coach! What next?

Why didn't Duncan back DA when on the Board?

When does Pirtek sponsorship finish?

 

[spartan2153]

Surely that's a g up

 

[JoeyJoJo83]

There is a saying that no player is bigger then the club, well by the looks of things we can comfortable say that although no player is bigger then the club the major sponsor is. f**king joke if Duncan is getting involved in the running of the team.

Actually, I think it's a vote of confidence from the man pouring millions into our club.
He must know something, otherwise, why would he pour money into the Titanic?

Suity

Exactly.


When the rest of the board decided they didn't want Pirtek running the club anymore, Duncan quit didn't he???

 

[Twizzle]

Pirtek, or their CEO who is on our board ?

So in effect its one person and wasn't he was part of the decision making process to appoint SK in the first place.

Because he thought he was shit?

Whatever you think of Kearney the fact is Anderson was sacked and no other club has picked him up since. It's not like there haven't been coaching vacancies in that time.

Anyway Duncan's a f**king troublemaker and he should keep his mouth shut regarding the club.

Or maybe he just wanted to get his mate in the door at the eels.

Was on the board.

Was appointed in July or August 2010, and apparently was part of the decision to appoint SK.

Mr. Duncan stood down from the Leagues club board, only to be replaced by Eric Grothe Snr, who was later found to be ineligible for the position, and as such the position hasn't been filled (there are supposed to be 7 directors, currently the clubs site lists only 6) http://www.parraleagues.com.au/default.aspx?id=34

Ahh I remember the day when our Biggest sponsor was the league’s club. I guess upgrading from 750k a year to over a mil buys a say in the appointments at the club ?!?

Not perfect, but better than having megalomaniac miner in charge.

We'll need Pirtek to hang around until the academy produces 5 more Haynes and Gallens. Then when we're off the bottom of the table, we can f**k him off.

Some could say we had a megalomaniac supporting the club when Denis was in charge.

Difference is one megalomaniac couldn't guarantee existence in 5 years as opposed to the miner
