Geeze how did they oppose all those changes, but failed to successfully oppose E voting ? Massive f**k up that.
Simple. A lot of the NO faction walked out after the first vote. Did their duty to their master and took off. Probably too stupid to realise there was a second vote on the night.

Lol.
These are the people who had a hold on the club for so many years. No wonder we were a basket case.

That or they weren’t offered to enough to have to leave their pokie to vote against being able to vote without having to move

Dear Members and Supporters,

Yesterday the Administrator of the Parramatta Leagues Club (PLC) Max Donnelly, announced that all his proposed governance reforms have now been successfully passed following the support of over 90 per cent of PLC voters.

The successful adoption of these proposed governance reforms including the appointment of a new PLC Board will now see a guaranteed pathway towards returning the Leagues Club back to Membership control.

This is tremendous news for both PLC and the Parramatta Eels Rugby League Club and now means the constitutional reform process for both organisations has been successfully completed.

On behalf of the Football Club I want to sincerely thank all Members and supporters who voted. Postal and electronic voting in this latest round was a resounding success with 1,691 votes cast, of which 1,554 voted in favour of the reforms.

This shows that the vast majority of Football and Leagues Club members are united in wanting see both organisations move forward successfully with a strong commitment to good governance.

As I have said previously, the stability of the PLC Board is vitally important to the Football Club and as we continue to make progress it is important that we support the Leagues Club in all areas as they embark on a new era of stability.

Again I thank all Members and supporters for their commitment to see the process successfully completed.

Regards
Sean McElduff
Parramatta Eels Chairman

Ouch. Privately owned UK rugby club Saracens had a deadline to get under their cap after getting caught fudging their cap books. Now they face relegation.

Saracens relegated from Premiership at end of 2019-20 season for salary cap breaches

Reigning champions Saracens will be relegated from rugby union's top flight at the end of this season following persistent salary cap breaches, Premiership Rugby have confirmed.

Sarries had already been deducted 35 points for the current Premiership campaign and fined £5.4m for three seasons' spending above the cap.

Proof of immediate cap compliance was required to avoid further sanctions.

So now the club is giving credence to everything said on nospam07 endorsing it in act

Dear Members of Parramatta Leagues Club,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of your new Board of Directors. This appointment was the final task of Administrator Max Donnelly prior to his retirement by Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA). This means that the Club has now returned to being directed by Members with a reformed constitution. The Directors attended their first meeting on Thursday 5th March 2020 where their appointment was resolved by Max Donnelly. This enabled ILGA to retire Max Donnelly as Administrator.

The new Board of Directors of Parramatta Leagues Club is as follows:

Darren Adam is a chartered accountant who has held several senior leadership roles at Foxtel. Darren commenced his role at Foxtel in 2015 as part of their Finance team and has more recently moved into their Product & Strategy division.
