Salary Cap

[84 Baby]

How do you know this? What if they were locked in for a period of time? Enough time to stabilise and eventually the factions would give up.

It's either we try again or we keep the current rabble.

That's a great idea Jake! 3 year terms? Pfft. Let's make it 5 years because surely whoever is brought in by whoever is going to arbitrarily swap out the entire board will be the best in the business, Eels supporters, never have a negative word said against them and all members will rally & support them

Hadley mentioned that OLGA may look into the latest allegations against the board regarding alleged bogus invoicing.

Like she gives a crap Jake.

 

[Jake the snake]

Um Fitzy has been out of the loop for 7 years ? Spags 4 years ? If anyone was going to give up then it would have happened by now.

No, they will continue to spoil all the fun.

I'm all over the new board idea and I have no link with Sharp etc, however I can't see this going away whilst the two protagonists are still about AND the media love to see us squirm. Very sad.

I don't know the inside details of who is leaking what etc but from what I can gather viewing it from as an outsider - The plumber has obviously pissed off lots of people by cancelling memberships etc so they can't even set foot in the place. IMO it seemed like he was political and to keep power of the club.

So I reckon that an independent board locked in for a long period of time would hopefully bring stability and actually unify the club.

Wow, she looks like her last job could have been pheasant plucker

Jake could have an absolute red hot go is that wasthe case and she ended up in charge

 

[Captain BF]

Just a hypothetical question for everyone: if Sharp and Issa were to get the boot/sacked/stands down, in your opinion do you think they would carry-on with the politics behind the scenes like Fitzy and Spags are obviously doing? Would they sink to that level or just walk away?

A small part of me hopes it happens so I can give them all nicknames and bag the shit out of them

 

[Delboy]

BF! Don't know , but I know Ossie, and he told me several times that it was a great job, but as soon as he started the best known suspect just commenced a back ground war of leaks and backstabbing

Said until he is no longer on this planet there won't be peace, he acknowledged that there were mistakes , but said outside of the club and job, no one understands just how much energy is spent fending off those who want to bring the incumbents undone for their own purpose

That's bitterness at its best. Why would you wanna do that to the club we love? Especially if they were free of factions and actually practicing good governance and other stuff.

Lucky we've got Jake and Suity listening to Hadley religiously, so they can regurgitate his sensationalism and agenda on the forum pages...

Where would we be if we just didn't listen to or read the gutter media? Imagine if the fanbase just ignored all of the destabilising media leaks/hype/fantasies, and just let our Board do what they've been trying to do, and supported the team?

I think once Sharp is done, he's done. He's never seemed interested in forming a faction and stinking up the place for a decade after his time's up.

I'm not as sure about Issa... I can see a potential for him to join one of the two factions that won't go away.

No Sharp is no part of any faction :lol::lol::lol:

 

[phantom eel]

No, thank you Jake...

 

[Basil Brush]

Public Annoucement: due to the word filter installed by our agenda free mods. the chairman formerly known for fixing leaky pipes will now be known as Chairman Dodgy or if I'm in a rush just "dodge".... Thank you.

I don't think anyone really cares what names you use. I am surprised if anyone on here actually even listens to your crap anymore

 

[Johnny88]

Would be nice if all these leaked stories came out all at once this drip feed scenario I am sure people are getting bored of it. Until it all stops how can the NRL decide what to do with us.

 

[phantom eel]

I stated early on that I'm in favour of the club adopting the NRL Governance recommendations, and avoiding the 4 point penalty for breaches that occurred as a result of previous administrtations. I'm hardly a Sharp/Issa fanatic. I welcome NRL-appointed independent directors as part of that - but think the most sustainable way for our Club to move forward is for those independent directors to be introduced gradually, while changing our Board's election cycles as per the NRL recommendations.

For example, installing 2 NRL-appointed independent directors to join the current PNRL Board at (as asap after) our May 2016 AGM. I'd be actually surprised if something like this wasn't part of the already agreed governance changes, just awaiting constitutional amendments. Any resignation/vacancies between now and the elections due in 2017 would also be replaced by NRL-appointees (rather than the current process).

That would make for a 9 person board, which lends itself easily to the annual elections of one third of directors, for terms staggered across three years (mooted to be the best practice governance recommendation). That just leaves the matter of how to elect directors in May 2017 to serve for three years, two years, and one year terms (to acheive the future staggered elections), without the May 2017 election istelf becoming the almighty once an for all shit fight :lol:

Only 300 more posts of this thread to go... maybe the sequel thread could be called "Jake's Bag The Board" thread? .
