In the end the current board apologists and spin doctors can deflect all they want. They can blame the media, the can blame "Spags" & Fitzy, they can blame weather, they can blame Bob Hawke whilst they are at it. All the excuses in the world will not cover for the fact that if there was nothing untoward or illegal happening by the board and management of this club then would be nothing to report. They have only to themselves to blame, they had a chance to make a real difference and f**ked it. Power went to their heads, they got greedy.

So don't blame the media for reporting news. That's their job. Those excuses don't wash anymore, the whole "everyone is against us" crap is a cop out. It's deflection at its best. how about we fix these issues instead of blaming the rest of the world.

There has been no breach of the main cap, not fines or sanctions. Anything published in the last few days are allegations only by click hungry media organisations. Can we agree on this ?

Your language above suggests that we have been caught Brian Waldron style. FMD :crazy:

We didn't need to get caught Waldron style when we had a buffoon who self reported.

For me it the culmination of f**k ups that this board have delivered. It's these issues that have arisen as well the constant dramas that have plagued this board.

Supporters have had enough, it's one disaster after another and we are sick of the excuses including your "click bait" deflection comments.

Yeah I really want us to fail :roll:

Do you honestly think anybody on here is happy about the shit the club is going through???

Doesn't mean we will blindly clap and cheer and not criticise anything the club does.

If that doesn't make me a true fan so f**king be it!!

So if you don't want us to fail why feed the media hysteria?

I reckon a lot of clubs have had an 'oh shit' moment when reading the paper the last few days. We are stupid enough to document this at board level and get it leaked to the media, but if anyone thinks we are the only club trying stuff like this then they are honestly delirious.

You mean organise no more third party contracts or stop getting caught? The former means we won't have a competitive team, the latter is up to the white ants.

He and Jake don't want the club to fail, just the board they are mad at cause their mates lost their "Power".

The fact that the club is failing as well isn't bothering them, so long as the board is made to look bad.

Now, Jake, before you call me an apologist or deflector (whatever the f**k that means) I'll remind you again, I don't care who runs the club, I care that we're being beaten up in the media, and that you are getting so giddy over something you read in the telecrap and are taking it as gospel because you want to believe it so bad that you'll believe any negative story so long as it either furthers your agenda, or undermines the board.

The board is a mess, something should be done, we pretty much all agree on this, but don't take so much pleasure in it, it's crass.

Jake, all of us want the club to succeed

You really seem to have an issue wirh Steve Sharp, and it reflects in your ongoing campaign to belittle him and the see the club fail. What we find it so hard to understand is your unbelievable dislike which spits venom at every post

Did you play against Sharp and he hammered you, what is it? Don't give me he is an idiot, when you constantly ignore all the good stuff he has organised and concentrate on your agenda

Perhaps you and Mr Fong on the othe site are one and the same, the language in the posts are so similar

been offline for a few days, after reading through most of it my main concern was competition points.As a supporter of the eels this is what affects me most as a fan.After seeing this in the article i no longer care.

"While the loss of premiership points appears unlikely".

For me personally thats the end of my worries.

Who's Mr Fong?? Is that your local Chinese Restaurant manager or Something. FFS!! Are you for real? Is that how desperate you are to make a point?

Who said I wanna see the club fail? Again, its deflection at its very best. Play the man and not the issues. You've got nothing else.

I don't know sharp personally and have never met him. All I can see is results of mismanagement and because he's in charge he f**king wears it! It's mismanagement of the highest scale. after he promised he'd clean things up, we've never been in a worse position. Yes I do have an issue with Sharp because of the total mismanagement unprofessional position the club is in now. He's had his chance he should f**king resign as the buck stops with him.

How many more excuses do we have to put up with??

My comments are really feeding the media hysteria :lol:

I don't even click on any of those links, I only read their crap if someone cut and paste's the article.


I don't the need the media to tell me how clueless Sharp and his board are.

:lol: My mates, Spags was an absolute disaster and we are better without him or his cronies.

Just because I criticise the the poor job Sharp and his board are doing doesn't mean I want Spags or Fitzy back. Love how my words are twisted on here.

Anyone who criticises Sharp and his board are whingers, haters, not true fans or mates with the old regime it's laughable really.

That's the spin game they play mate. It's all designed to play the man and not talk about the issues at hand. Spags and fitzy blah blah. Excuses central.

They will say that we support fitzy and spags because we don't like how the club is being run. What a lame argument that is. It's laughable.

What they can't tell us is why we should stop calling for the current board to resign. They don't wanna talk about the issues because they are f**king embarrassed that they voted and defended these morons from the start.

I was really more talking about Jake in that respect, I probably should have been more clear about that.

also, just FYI, people who whinge are whingers, plain and simple, but you aren't a snowflake there, pretty much 99% of this forum are whingers, myself included.

My issue is taking delight in the clubs destruction, not cool.
