Eels' inquiry into alleged attempt to fix election

[The Elephant In The room]

" The Plumber " not only stopped the leaks he also flushed the turd . They won't need a
re Eelection just a re count . Hopefully then anyone who was Eelected by defraud will also get the punt .

Can we dredge up the election threads so we can all have our moment

But which votes will they remove from the count? Is there a record of who each member voted for?

For the good of the club Roy Spagnolo and his associates should stand down until the investigation is complete.

 

[Gronk]

Not his go mate.

Burn him at the stake !

Let's not pre-judge Spags. Innocent until proven guilty of course.

This could be a witch hunt, based on fabricated evidence which was manipulated to create damning circumstances.

One thing for sure is that tampering of votes will mean that someone will be exposed and (I hope) criminal charges follow for the perpetrator(s).

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Good point about not pre judging.

 

[Twizzle]

Will this trigger a new election?

Surely it will regardless of the fact that the election fraud was "unsuccessful".

why would it ?

It just highlights that Sharp would have still won but with a larger majority, not that that means anything in the club elections.

 

[Zombie Fitzy]

pfffft should have just stuck with the honoured tradition of offering Tingha vouchers for votes

Yep. Amateurs.

** edit** I see your point .

 

[Twizzle]

maybe they will but as the articles say, investigations are still ongoing so they'd have to wait till everything is completed.

The make up of the board could be significantly different though depending on who the "tainted" voters voted for. We can all assume who they voted for, and I think we'd be very close to the mark, but we don't know for sure.

What I do know for sure is that if there isn't a new election, the next time there is a contentious issue, someone will raise the point that the board hasn't been elected properly and there will be another shit fight then.

And I am so f**king sick of our board issues being front and centre, especially when the boys have hit some form on the park.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

If true, this is pretty f**ked.

I've largely stayed out of the political posting but if this is traced back to anyone then they should be banned for life, if not hit with criminal charges.

No surprises who the issues are about or where the leaks come from.

I wonder if jake the snake's name was enter in the database

 

[IFR33K]

Talking of the devil....

 

[mickdo]

You've got to be freaking kidding me

 

[Joely01]

Spagnolo is an absolute grub.

The quicker he has nothing to do with this club, the better off we will be.

Yeah under Derpy McSpagsderp

 

[MarkInTheStands]

So I just want to get this straight in my mind.

The 3P ticket in 2009 won 2 elections, the second one convincingly (I was having an Operation so I wasn't there). They then won 2 more elections in 2011, yet by 2013 they felt the need to allegedly fabricate 150 memberships to vote for them.

That's confidence isn't it.

 

[Jake the snake]

I'm not sure who's reputation is crumbling faster Jake - yours or Roy's. :lol:

You're way to easy!!!

 

[Daneel]

This is getting boring from the plumber. Obviously he's still bitter about his the Embarrassing AGM .... He has to now fabricate this dribble. Roy is an honourable bloke!!

Honk!! Honk!!
