Join the Parramatta Football Club!!!!

[the phantom menace]

For interesting facts, I spotted Tony Zappia, and Roys little mate Lombardi in the meeting but not Roy.

So Roy signed in at the club, but didn't attend the meeting...? Interesting.

Also Denis Fitzgerald was there.

He lives! Fitzy kept pretty uncharacteristically quiet during this whole sudden-campaign-for-an-EGM thing.

Denis was wearing a Kangaroos Lapel pin. Number #497 I think. Must be his Kangaroos player number

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Oops my mistake it would have been #486

So what happens to the clowns who pulled this stunt.

I think it's been discussed before but do they suffer any legality financially for this.

Because this has wasted 400k what's going to stop anyone trying this shit on a yearly basis just to waste leagues club money and time.

If there is no financial repcussions on these clowns.

No financial repercussions on the members who initiated the EGM (and rightly so) - it remains the rights of members to call for an EGM if they are unsatisfied with their Board.

There are some ways to tighten this however and these are being discussed already.

Haha suck shit Spags and Barilaro.
Couldn’t even muster 100 people to show up to this thing, and that’s with emjaycee and MITS there who weren’t even on their side.

Stop f**king with the club you f**kwits.

Fair enough and fingers crossed this is being tightened.

The fact Spags has used some dipshit pizza shop owner as the face of this shows to me this poisionous arsehole won't stop.

And after his little stunt in February where he managed to not only put his hat in the ring but got everyone's details so he could promote himself that's twice in 12 months.

 

[King-Gutho94]

The bad news is we still have approx 1200 members who are FWs.

800 voted for spags back in February when the 2 seats for the board were nominated.

The prick has found 400 more people

“Because for the members that are celebrating, I hope you remember how happy you are right now ..”
Mate, read the room, nobody is celebrating. Your mob are nothing but a clown show. Failure to even achieve a quorum at the EGM means that you defeated yourselves. You couldn’t muster 100 people to support your BS.

Rebel Eels ticket – Make Parra Matter Again – has failed in bid to take control of Leagues Club board
An attempt by a rebel group to seize control of the Parramatta Leagues club, has been a sensational and expensive failure, despite backing from some of the Eels’ heavyweight former players.

A rebel bid to take control of the Parramatta Leagues Club has ended in high farce after the meeting was abandoned because there were insufficient members in attendance to conduct a valid vote.
The group behind the rebel ticket — called Make Parra Matter Again and backed by some of the club’s heavyweight former players — failed to rally enough support to achieve their aim of deposing four of the existing seven directors.
The expensive exercise is believed to have cost the Leagues Club — which financially supports the football club — in the vicinity of $400,000.
While it came at a high cost to the Leagues Club, the collapse of the rebel bid was a show of support for the current administration and new coach Jason Ryles, who has been charged with reviving the fortunes of the embattled club.

The last thing the Eels — and Ryles — needed was a return to the historical in-fighting that shadowed the club for years and hampered their ability to challenge for a premiership.
For too long, Parramatta got in their own way. The fear was that a rebel win would see a return to the past.
The rebel ticket had hoped to prey on the disappointing 2024 season to garner enough support to make change at the leagues club but ultimately their bid, which was fronted by former pizza shop owner Michael Barillaro, came to nothing.
Former Eels boss Roy Spagnolo was reportedly working in the background to help the bid. However, their efforts fell embarrassingly short, albeit at huge expense to the leagues club.
Sources confirmed the cost of the EGM was at least $400,000, but rise as high as $500,000.
Chair Sean McElduff had warned that a successful vote would mark a return to the days of factionalism that led to the club being a laughing stock within the game.

McElduff needn’t have worried. For all their bluster, the rebel ticket never amounted to a genuine threat to the current regime.
The online votes recorded before the meeting was cancelled reinforced that the rebel ticket were fighting a losing battle.
All four directors who were challenged – Sue Coleman, Richard Foda, Mark Jenkins and Joy Cusask – won at least 60 per cent of the online vote.
It didn’t matter in the end because the rebel ticket couldn’t even convince the required 100 voting members to attend the meeting.
As a result, the meeting was dissolved and none of the resolutions were passed.
“By 7.15pm there were insufficient voting members present and as such the
All existing directors will continue to serve the club and it’s members.”

EGM was dissolved by operation of the constitution, and no resolutions were passed,” the club said in a statement.
“All existing directors will continue to serve the club and it’s members.”

I just looked this up the pizza shop clown only has 188 Followers on Facebook. And the one comment was what Twiz has posted above.

What's hilarious is this muppet has no idea he has been used as a pawn simply by Spags for Roy's own little agenda.

Spags will move onto the next dummy to run a smear campaign while he hides in the background.

Spags will remain the biggest disgrace & POS to have been involved in this joint in its history.

Don’t blame me. I just wrote they’re all shit on the ballot paper

And still couldn't get enough people to turn up to the club yesterday.

Hahahahahahaha.

I was speaking with the chairman and maybe I got the wrong idea but he said the 200 people that signed the petition "didn't come to the club" So maybe like many they are members of the LC who have perpetual membership (like me) but don't actually attend.

I reckon it shows how dumb these dipshits are they didnt realise you needed 100 people in attendance on the night of the EGM for it to actually proceed.

Yet there were 200 who signed the petition so around 65-70% of them probably had no idea they had to attend.
