I don't have a degree in anything!

 

[Chipmunk]

Are you kidding? Keyboard warrior because I said it would be a dream? You have to be qualified, do you propose I just email the club and tell them I'm ready to take over and they will just bring me in????

I would imagine it is a little bit harder than that. I'm not sure me emailing the club and saying " hey, if love to take over the joint and my experience with football operations is zero and I've never been a CEO or operations manager but I am a solution architect of a HR/Payroll system for a very large government organisation.

I have great reconciliation skills and am good at my job, how about you give me a chance in the big dance cause I am a passionate supporter and love this club more than my family and am willing to learn everything possible and give as many hours and days as it takes.

Go on, take a shot, I can't do worse"

if it was that easy I would have done it long ago!

I'm sure Sharpy had the same dreams and thought he was doing the right thing when he ran for the board and became chairman. I'm sure if he could wind the clock back three years he would've made a different choice.

It won't matter what we do concerning the salary cap, unless the 5 directors are gone we can't play for points anyway. The longer they stay around and stink the joint up the harder it will be for the
Club.

Of course he did although I'm not sure doing dodgy shit is ever acceptable no matter how much you want to be liked.

 

[forward pass]

it pains me to say it but im Leaning towards writing the season off all together, getting cap compliant is too big a process to complete in 10 days, besides I'm not quite sure if I'm emotionally happy to play finals football this year anyway..

Agree. Any achievement will be tainted in a lot of peoples minds.

Mind you - the board have left this stain on the club which will last forever so anything we achieve will have a cloud over it for a lot of people.

There is no indication that they will not resign as per the NRL orders. I think what they have done is sought relief (injunction) to enable them to carry out their normal functions whilst they respond, shed players etc. IIRC the orders from the NRL stated that they must cease all activities with the club EXCEPT to respond to the breach notice.

As Sterlo said yesterday, who at the club will be able to manage the player shed if those capable are prevented from working at the club in that capacity ?

 

[TheFrog]

Only way we will be playing finals footy is if we appeal and win....

You'll be fighting the NRL in the Supreme Court even though your club has signed agreements to abide by the NRL's rules....you'll also be fighting the insurance company over Watmough's injury payout. You honestly don't expect them to just pay up do you? These sort of things often take years to sort out.

This is going to drag on for a very long time if Parramatta take the litigation route, and the only result will be very wealthy lawyers and an insolvent rugby league club.

There is only one solution...write off this season. Pity, because you've got a good team and if a little common sense had been used you could have had it legally.

 

[El Diablo]

i don't think they should quit yet as i don't trust the NRL auditors

 

[ash411]

The biggest problem is that the shopping list for an NRL teams administration is VERY specific.

Having knowledge of football, and knowledge of business operations is one thing, but also being passionate about the team coupled with the fact that you'll also be on the board of a very large Leagues club is just extra on top making it even more difficult.

Ideally, the chairman's position would require someone passionate about the team, with experience running a large business, deep knowledge of the game, and above all else, unquestionable integrity.

That list of people would be easy to count on one hand. This is why we are constantly getting sub-par administrators, because I fear the perfect candidate may not exist.

 

[forward pass]

Thank Christ we didn't win the comp last year. We would have lost that - that would hurt much more than this !

I'm not saying that full metal jacket is the way to go, but whatever happens the legal fees is a speed hump to the PLC operations. No way they would run out of money. They run a casino taking pensioner's cash all day long FFS.

exactly, the pokies in the PLC would only need to run for maybe a day to build a good war chest fund for any legal challenge.

Although, I don't think that Sharp & co should fight their de-registrations. We're gonna demand they go anyway, jodeci's little petition may actually gain some traction now.

So when the Daily Telegraph pounds the living bejesus out of your ar$e and one of the factions runs a campaign against you because you're continuing to run last and you have a choice of
* doing the right thing and continue to run last;
* doing something dodgy, which is probably the way most successful clubs are doing things, and hope it works out;
* fall on your sword and let DF have his way;

Which one would you choice?

 

[Gronk]

I've noticed a few people are now saying that maybe we just give Denis control and try and cope.

<sigh>

 

[IFR33K]

Lol. Seriously, can it get any worse?

 

[Delboy]

Anyone at The AGM on Monday would run a million miles rather than give control to that ego maniac

If we need to move on, then there are people that are smart and want the club to succeed, Brian Smith - but I guess Raaaay would hammer him as he is no friend of the emperor.

Not everyone would agree but the passion that Tanya Galdiel showed was terrific, she wasn't prepared to go soft on people with agendas, was possibly the best address of the evening

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We had plenty of time to restructure the playing roster before June 30 to ensure that we are under the cap this year. What the NRL have done has screwed us massively by letting everyone know that we need to shed players fast, and they have us over a barrel. We won't get anything like their true value.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I dunno, kinda over it. Maybe we should just let Denis have it.

 

[Delboy]

To follow up, a lot of people are worn down by Raay and the emperor, but that is no reason to fold and let power return, that is a weak outcome

Yes, it's good to stop a headache, but it is not the right thing by th club and fans

 

[Dogs Of War]

Could u imagine the uproar if say the dogs will help us out, by taking Norman and semi off our hands???? Would be a massive case of Greenberg strikes again.

Yeah cause the Dogs need another 5/8th given we already have 2 in Reynolds and Mbye.
