Nominations thread.

[spider]

Reports are stating the debt still isn't be serviced, hence blowing from $3m to $3.9m in quick fashion.

That is scary considering the time frame it was reduced.

Cullen is blurry eyed saying the finances are in good shape.

I've got a question that I hope is asked of all candidates.

To date what has your involvement with the club been, and if not elected what will you do to help the club?

 

[newman]

To Newman. I simply did not nominate. No excuses.

Peter thanks for your honest answer. Were you a member at the time and what is your motivation to run at this point?

f**king hell.

That's second hand though Newman, but gauging from financial information that is measured quarterly things are spiraling; ill wait to see the annual report.

With the AGM date announced it will be flicked out soon.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

33% blowout is massive, we need to clear the debt asap.

Peter - The club has a loan, do they also carry overdraft facility

I've taken a liberty. I've sent an email to a Sharks Unity nominee asking that he and the others either join here or put a feedback mechanism on their website.

Oh and by the way, Rothfield has resigned from the DLS committee.

He hasn't resigned, just got the webmaster of the DLSJRLFC site to remove his contact details.

Rothfield is still very much an active member of DLSJRLFC Management Committee and is still using the Telegraph and other outlets to promote and encourage voting for the De La Salle assembled ticket.

 

[Frenzy.]

How bizarre. Does he think no one knew? LOL

 

[Peter Cobb]

To Newman, sorry for the delay. Work (sadly) gets in the way of a lot of things. Yes I was a member last elections, I have been a member for a long time (late 70s or early 80's). My motivation for nominating was that I had enough. I thought things had got to a stage where I would get involved to make a difference. When the ASADA issue blew up I sent an email to board member Tiernan on the 9th March 2013. I was furious with the way the board handled the issue. I asked him about fairly basic legal concepts such as due process, putting the accuser to proof and holding out inducements to players to sign documents stating that the players would not sue the board. I looked at how other Clubs like Essendon, Canterbury and Manly had handled the ASADA issue and questioned why the Sharks had responded the way they did. There was all these rumours floating around of us having to relocate, and at worse collapsing.

I believed I could do a far better job than what they did. And now some weeks later I know I could have done a better job.

As for the question about whether the Sharks carry an overdraft, I have no knowledge of the current financial set up. As for any blowout ...

 

[spider]

They have amended their overdraft - capped at $700k

 

[jc155776]

Apart from what you read in papers Cobb how do you know what went on if it due process was followed etc?

 

[madunit]

Should board members etc all be residents in the Cronulla-Sutherland area?

 

[Special K]

Who are the two clubs that you always hear about their "board"?

Us and Parra. Not a good thing...

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Apart from what you read in papers Cobb how do you know what went on if it due process was followed etc?

Pretty evident that due process has not been followed at any stage in regards to 100% of all the clubs actions. Its been a cluster f**k of left wing loony hirings that have made all decision recommendations that the board has then made, with zero thought of other possible outcomes. I would go as far to say that a potential major sponosr was close to signing & all of actions were based on not losing that customer. Which happened anyway & has made the club look a lot worse.
If PEter is a person in the tight knit legal community than I would suggest he has his finger much more on the pulse than most here.

 

[Bjorn Pork]

Does anyone remember the letter from Gallen that we all got when we received our memberships?

I had a look at it again today and saw this line:

"Sharks Leagues Club Membership
Members over 18 years of age will receive information regarding their complimentary Sharkies Leagues Club membership shortly."

Does that mean that any member of the football club is automatically a member of the Leagues club? Complimentary means free right?

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I thought that was always the way anyway. Member of Footy automatically member of leagues. Not the other way around.

 

[Bjorn Pork]

I thought that was always the way anyway. Member of Footy automatically member of leagues. Not the other way around.

Yeah, that's what I thought, tbh.

So any person standing for the board would then qualify as a member of the leagues club by virtue of their membership of the footy club (assuming they had that!).

Or would their membership of the leagues club still need to be ratified (along with every other footy club member)?

All it does is leave the door open for the elections to become a legal shitfight, which is not exactly what the club needs right now.

 

[Frenzy.]

Doesn't matter Bjorn.

Leagues club membership is neither here nor there.

The condition is that there can only be 4 non footy club members on the board and nominations for the chair have to be footy club members.

 

[Megalodon]

All candidates for the nine positions on the Board MUST be Leagues Club members.

As it stands, Glenn Coleman was the ONLY nomination for the Chair who has both Leagues Club AND Football Club membership.

There were NO other eligible nominations received by the Returning Officer for that position prior to the cut-off.

Therefore, Coleman will be made the Chair uncontested.

What will then happen is that, of the eight remaining Director positions, the first four MUST be filled by Directors who are Football Club members.

The remaining four positions are then open to people who are both Football Club members OR people who are Leagues Club only members.
