and if you personlly think that was the case with the former board than i think you're kidding yourself fish,

No, but its how it should be

part of the reason why I wanted change was because I didn't think the chairman at our club had a say.

Agreed, and unfortunatley for Ovo on that case I believe he only has himself to blame.

so what do you suppose he should of done? fall on his sword and have Dennis promote Ron Hilditich to the chairmans role whilst he completes a royal flush by dragging another one of his Parramatta Marist class mates into the board room...:lol:

the attack on Ovo is ridiculous when you consider that he had the hide to go public about the CEO's sallary, potentially it could of cost him a sh*t load of life long friends.

Perhaps the 6 other board members could have given him less power too, hey? You do know there are 7 of them, right? Why single out the one who was clearly unhappy with the situation ffs?

I've only just noticed this, and would question if he was so clearly unhappy why he ran on the same ticket again?

Read them again Baz, if you can't see it, I can't show it. Sorry but I am not here to try and convince you or anyone else really. Especially on something so obvious.

All he's said is that we shouldn't make the mistake of paying a CEO a motza again and giving him the power Fitzy had. He also implied that he was less than happy with the way things went under the previous board. I fail to see any hypocrisy in that whatsoever

You'd have to ask him, wouldn't you? Perhaps he believed that they would be re-elected as they have every time in the past...it's easier to try and change something from the inside than the out...

Then again, it's plain that the brush used to tar Fitzgerald was wide enough to sully others, and no amount of logic or reason will dissuade many of those who blindly deride everything associated with the man

So you're another who has fallen into the trap of assuming just because he was on the board, he agreed with everything that went on despite being one man out of seven? Good to know...

Yeah right. Surely you're not this slow?

Far from slow, just sick to death of the non stop critique and negativity from certain quarters regarding certain people (both players and otherwise), and I take umbrage at a good man who did a good job being tarred with the same brush as our Stalinist ex-CEO

Never said he wasn't a good man, just a lousy board member. So you can get down off your self-righteous soapbox. The people have spoken loud and clear. Deal with it.

Ovo's statements are ridiculous in the context of the position he held and what he and his fellow board members had allowed to go on. End of story.

Funny stuff...who's being self righteous again?

Ultimately, this is your opinion. I think you are ill informed at best, completely clueless on Ovo's role at worst. "Deal with it." :lol:

No offence, Ron mate...but you're pretty much the king of flogging a dead horse. And given your opinion on anything associated with Fitzy, you'll have to forgive me for taking your viewpoint with all the salt on Lake Eyre

I just don't think Ovo was a valuable asset to our board, he was more just part of the furniture, and whilst i agree that everyother member who has contributed to the clubs demise should be held accountable, as chairman he should've done more in the past to curb fitzys arrogance.

One question Bazal, would you have liked Ovo to be retained? and if so why

Mate I don't need to, the people have already. So the ball is squarely back in your court...deal with it.

I would have, yes. Until the next election for sure. He did a lot for the clubs relationship with the fans, especially over the past few years when Fitzy was really going off the rails. He was the one who came down and spoke for several hours to that truckie and his mates. He's the one who joined this sh*tty, negative, brick-headed forum and spoke to us about some of our issues. He's the one you'd be able to easily find to have a chat to at the games and who would diligently and kindly listen to your concerns. He's the one who essentially stopped Parra Stadium from becoming more cheer free, colour free, fun free wasteland. He is an eloquent man and I (like Stagger, it seems) always got the impression that he was trying to be something of a tempering influence in a board room that was essentially Fitzy's plaything.

But of course, so many people only heard of him two months ago through Josh Massouds petty little campaign, so like Josh they assume he's one of Fitzy's mindless little minions
