Question, and I think its a valid one
Directors
Apparently knew nothing
Coach
Apparently knew nothing
Players
Apparently knew nothing
Most staff
Apparently knew nothing
Parent Company
Apparently knew nothing
Fair enough and good luck to them, but this raises a very valid question, particularly in relation to the directors and a few other select individuals who have been with the strom for a while:
If you knew nothing, then exactly what the f**k have you been doing for the last few years and why was the entire management of the club, its finances, its image, its sponsorship, its employee arrangements and its corporate governance entrusted to what appears to be no more than a handful of people who have obviously done a diamond of a job.
This is not a "jibe" thread, this is a serious question, many people were paid to do their jobs, the fact that no one appeared to know five tenths of f**k all about what has transpired is worrying, the mains issues are:
1) People may have known - and are now just not saying anything to avoid being covered in the fallout
2) They legitimately didn't know - this is generally no better than point one, congratulations, you are not implicit, but you are a moron
3) They had an inkling but no access - as per point 2, what the f**k was the entire operation doing in the hands of a few people, considering half the directors knew f**k all, exactly what the f**k did they discuss for the last few years?
4) News Ltd not knowing - f**k, keep a f**king handle on your problem child in the future.
In retrospect the manner in which those "transactions" have been kept in the ledger makes them somewhat obvious (like I said, retrospect, and by obvious I mean obvious to anyone with a modicum of financial knowledge), unfortunately in being obvious this says one of two things to me, and maybe to others, one, News did not bother to keep an eye on this and merely threw money at it blindly which as per points 2 and 3 above makes them look somewhat incompetent.
The second thing it says to me is that something so obvious would have been noticed upon a senior review of the ledger............................................ which would regrettably translate to "News knew and did f**k all".
In summary, with all this winding into a complicated web and the insistence that it was a few high up people guided by an idiot (Waldron), exactly what the f**k have the rest of the people associated (particularly the litigation happy and now jobless directors) been up to for the last few years?
