Does glen Duncan not qualify?
And don't underestimate couple of others on the board.
I had never heard of Pirtek prior to their sponsorship, not being a car person at all. Duncan hasn't been elected by the members, and there's the matter of being the major sponsor and on the Board which needs to be kept in check (unless we are to go down the private ownership path, which is a whole other kettle of fish).
TBH, i think its a bit of a myth you need all this business experience to be on the board of the leagues club. It helps, sure, but its more important you employ the right people to run it day to day
I tend to agree with that Fish. Being a Director is a monitoring role, you're not actually the one doing the day to day work. You need to give checks and balances and direction to the ones who are employed to do so, basically know your way around a monthly finance report and be able to ask questions, and listen to the members and take up their issues. Big business experience doesn't automatically mean you have those monitoring or communication skills in other fields.
Trust me Peter Wynns is only a very small fish. Sportsco. Athletes foot, insport are just some chains with many stores aust wide.
Nothings taken personally. In the end we want what's best for the club.
I feel some people haven't gotten over the last election loss and are over dramatising some points for political gain.
Do you think the current board has done anything that is positive? If yes, what?
Thanks Jake, I'd forgotten those sports chains, they don't have outlets where I shop. Wynn's got very good exposure then for such a small operator.
I voted for the current guys, so its not the result I need to get over - it's the disappointment that they haven't delivered (or come close) on several of the main promises that convinced me to give them my votes.
Good things they've done... the automatic door on the third floor balcony, the turn around of some club lines mentioned in their report like catering (as credited in another thread).
Balancing with all the disruption to the team through their media antics (and this letter seems just another one of them), the amateur hour of messing up Cayless' retirement and chasing signatures like Cronk and Cooper through the media, the failure to foster any membership input through promised forums or improved communications, their apparent witch hunt for any staff employed by Fitzy, their amateurish hsacking of the coach, the fact you can't trust Spagnolo at his public word, etc...
to me the balance just doesn't add up for this lot.
