Salary Cap

[Jake the snake]

The current admin has really f**ked us. But the morons were re-elected and continued to really f**k us.

Our club is at the lowest point ever and it's because of the current idiots running the joint. They have no clue of how to run or manage a club. They hired the most inept people to manage the footy team.

And all through out when something went wrong,the current admin were just blaming everyone but themselves..... It's called Deflection and no accountability. If these articles are true
And it looks like the Smh have had good evidence then the lies we have been TOLD again are unacceptable.

Sharpe and Anderson must fall on their swords and finally resign. They are incompetent. They are destroying us.

As for Anderson, it doesn't surprise me. If only people knew how he got the job at the club they would cry. We could've had Brian Smith managing the place (a job he would've excelled at) yet instead board politics got in the way and the result was Anderson.

I've had enough of these jokers. Time to get real
Leaders, Professionals..... Like of John Quayle for e.g.

Where's Gronk, Fartman and the other agenda driven cronies now? They are like f**king rats abandoning a sinking ship. Wonder if their still going to still blame previous management when it was Anderson and Co. all Along who were at fault and mismanaging.

 

[Gronk]

Am I missing something ? SMH printed details of Dave Smith's breach notice rant and 4 points threat from months ago. Is there anything new today ? If I am missing something could someone point me to it ?

 

[Bigfella]

It does suggest that Hoppa filed his court case on Friday.

Although it uses some fairly slippery expressions.

He's a grub this journo.

It really is worded like it has been written as a media release for Roy spagnolo rather than an arms length.

journalist covering a story of public interest.

It also purports to publish evidence of the current administration's blame for some or many of these breaches despite their constant attempts to blame the old mob and the old CEO.

The new points that I read were the players Anderson told we would release but didn't. And that we were constantly asking for exemptions AFTER the matches. Seems pretty stupid of us. Most of The current admin were in charge for these issues.

 

[Gronk]

Words like "supreme court" are very scary. We know that we have mandatory mediation laws in this state, right ?

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Yeah, so lets not have fielded a side last year.

No no, seriously, it would appear to be the only way we could have not breached the cap.

We are talking about a club that was paying if I recall correctly, almost $1m to players that were not at the club. What are we expected to do, Not pay players or not field a side that might compete?

I wonder how binding the contracts for certain players not signed by this administration were, especially when they were consistently injured.

If the revelation is that we knowingly breached the cap last year and the problems we had were administrative in not asking for clearance before the game then that comes down to a matter of procedure and governance, and that has to fall back to the CEO and the board that employees him.

But do I have a problem with as breaching the cap to field a side that might actually compete, not really. Not with the handycap we have had around our necks from the pure trash we have signed in the 4 years from 2009 to 2013.

Are these sins enough to get rid of a board, a CEO, a Football Manager, a coach? For once I would like to not keep playing musical chairs with these seats, give us some stability and let the natural ability of this club to compete and win the hearts and minds of league fans to shine through.

who pulls proszenko's strings? fitzy or spags?

3P (spags), they fed him stories to gain power

If we had began Season 2014 by naming 14 players on a Tuesday and claimed it was because of the Salary Cap, the Daily Telegraph would have been all over it and it would have come to a head then and we could have negotiated our way out of it with the NRL. The NRL would never have allowed us to field a team of 14 players and I'd suggest we would've been given the green light for salary cap exemptions the entire season.

The way the club continually breached the salary cap, ignoring the NRL, was pretty dumb.

No we should definitely keep letting these incompetent f**kwits ruining our future seasons just because people are mates with people or because they replaced people you didn't like.

The one thing which determines success in this competition more than anything else is cap management and value for money.

These merkins have completely and utterly failed. Repeatedly.

But you can't point out the obvious on here because of the self interest and factionalism.

I remember they had massoud doing all their dirty work in the media to gain power

I agree to some extent that hands were tied and we had little alternative other than to breach the cap last year

I also agree the current mob are complete f**king amateurs .... what disappoints me a bit is that there is at least one board member who has been through it all (geoff gerard) but seemingly not helping we don't make the same amateur mistakes over and over (they I have no idea how the board works, so don't know if he can have the influence I expect he should)

the thing is - we piss the current mob of amateurs off - who do we get instead? A repeat of the amateur scam artists that came before - woo f**kin hooo!

Pretty sure MJC reports prosenk sitting of spags lap at the club annuals.

Apology's to spaggy if I have this confused

One of the articles from today suggests our offer is $570k pa to hoppa and our new offer is $500k. If any truth to this, legal action seems a bit of a waste of time

Got a link mate?

the article also says + $100K marquee + TPAs ... so maybe it's $170K we are trying to wriggle out of???

A season? Even if it it just the 70k that Joshy says, over three years that is 210K. That's a lot of money.

So who is lining up to take us into the future who is not an amateur ?
Maybe we should employee Tony Zappia to get our salary cap back in order. He was the best at it.

I just wondered what people think the role of the board is in the day to day operations of the Leagues club and Football side?

As far as I understand it, the CEO runs the club, the board appoint him, and are consulted on questions about the direction of the club or big decisions, normally at a monthly meeting of all board members.

I know a lot of people have issues with Daniel Anderson, that is their prerogative, but till the middle of this year was he in charge of the salary cap? Or was that ultimate responsibility left with Scott Seward ?
