Italian Connection comes under scrutiny

[Parra]

Josh Massoud - looks like he got straightened out after that one.

 

[spiderdan]

Zappia has the look of a shifty dude(the eyes) i hope our new preso isnt as shifty as him when we are looking to move forward..lol its almost like we have our own italian mafia setup at the eels.

 

[strider]

I was hardly defensive mate...I just see nothing in the article but a list of failed businesses and a tenuous connection to a mob boss. At this stage, that's all the story is...if it's more later, then it's more later.

I think you and I seem to have the same views on alot of this media crap

I find alot of people are very quick to not only believe what the media tells them, but also believe that where there's smoke, there's always fire.

look harder :lol: ... he seems to do quite well for himself financially, yet so much fails, coincidently before his ventures have to pay up their tax - then his mate does the liquidation work .... :lol: .... hey, he's good at what he does, just seems rather dodgy

 

[Twizzle]

By the same token Twiz, immediatley dismissing a story simply because it was in a newspaper and you might not like it is a cop out and head in the sand stuff.

I'm not dismissing it fishy, just not prepared to jump in feet first

 

[Twizzle]

actually, when you think about it, Zaps does look a bit like Fat Tony

I think that should be his new name.

Parra Future,

Are these the sort of dealings that drove you from the 3p camp? You had mentioned your distrust of certain individuals in the group. Are these the alterior motives you were wary of?

Any 3p member,

Is this why you virtually told us "jack sh*t" about the individuals involved in your group pre election. Those standing for election and the puppet masters were virtually unknown.




I know DF's spud carting businesses hadn't failed 8 times.

Df complained re the pokie tax daily but he still paid it. *edit, speculation*

Interseting times indeed.

 

[fish eel]

yeah, let's re-dredge all that election sh*t hey?

81236 are you an ex board member?disgruntled ex player or what?
Or you just parra pete?

 

[SDM]

DF carted spuds? Doesn't seem like the blue collar type to me.

The answer would be D. None of the above.

People will dismiss my concerns ( perhaps understandably ) due to the fact I was one the the few around here that a) did not support the 3p group in it's entirity and b) allayed my concerns.

Am I the only person that feels short changed by the recent revelations?

I DO NOT believe that any intelligent person would have voted for Spag Bolognaise had they known of his business record. Should I not feel disgruntled that this comes to our attention far too late. Whom shall I hold responsible? Afterall, business accumen was what won over a number of voters.
Heck, it seems that legally he can't even sit on our board due to his "exemplary" business record. I'm sure that he would be aware of this. *edit, unsubstantiated allegation*

Probably.

Most of us are now just focused on the job the new board and hopefully soon to be announced new chairman are doing for the club - not the history that is the election.

Look forwards, not backwards.

But Spagnolo didnt seem dodgy to you at either :sarcasm:

 

[Gronk]

How dare you even question the integrity of the Board and their business associates. You must harbour a massive grudge and be agenda driven.

i think most of us that did throw out questions are content to move on and see what the new faces can bring to the club. there's no sense in harping on about election matters until next time.

You do have to wonder though about people that only seem to turn up in these forums when there is a boardroom related topic. ;-)

Coincidence ?

to be fair he/she has posted in a few topics that have nothing to do with the Parramatta board

If something turns out to be proven then absolutely.

There is absolutely no doubt that 3P were very quiet regarding anyone except the great former players. Throw them out to the public as Trojan horses, perhaps?

Col ended up separated from 3P, Bob Gare ended up not contesting (or was he shoved aside?) and now those in or associated with 3P, the likes of Spags and Lomby, have question marks next to them.

However, at present, nothing dodgy has been proven. Previous failed business ventures should not exclude people from future participation. Many successful businessmen have only become so after initial failures.
