What are you all worried about Its clear as day Mary has gone interpreting these. This is how I read it
Clearly there have been hurdles put in our way that are out of our control, but rest assured that we will do everything we can to ensure that our members feel valued and we will communicate with you as quickly and openly as we can as the path ahead becomes clearer. (i.e. Mary's contract)
Openness for new thinking and growth. (i.e. Mary's removal)
But in saying that, although we can always learn from the achievements of the past, this must be supplemented by new thinking, hard work, clear goals and a genuine willingness to challenge how we do things and an acceptance for change and growth. (i.e. Our past is not our future. Famous Maryism Time for a coach change)
Our club is working through financial challenges just like many businesses across the world. This has led to financially driven cutbacks in some areas of the business and it will no doubt require further tough decisions to be made in the coming months. This is very difficult as there are people’s lives at the core of many of these decisions, but I have no doubt that we will come out of this period with a strong and agile club, ready to succeed. (i.e. Mary has a salary for this and next year, he is 1st to go, just working out how and when so we can move forward again)
I like you Ryan. Just after reading paragraph 4...I thought it was a rehash of Doust's speech about embracing the history again.. probably had to say that as a prerequisite of getting the job
