The apology thread

[IFR33K]

Luckily Foran wasn't two shades darker. We know DA doesn't like Polynesian players because posters told us this.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'm sorry.

Agree to an extent OMC, but a very simple control would have prevented this........requiring the Chair to countersign every player contract executed by the CEO, and for the standard contract to make it clear that the contract is not complete without the signatures of both. It's not rocket science.

It seems that the first contract was performed in the way you have laid it out above Baz but a f**kwit CEO went and added more shit to it and left others in the board, DA, etc, in the dark.

What if Forans manager or others influential around and or accessible to our precious sensitive CEO put the fear of God (round 13 back door) into Seward and our precious CEO panicked?

What if Foran's manager suggested this $1mil payout clause to Seward..... "If you add this $1mil payout clause I'm sure I can get Foran to not take up the Round 13 back door option....."???

Our CEO is nervously thinking "the Dogs, Titans, Manly & others are still sniffing around..... shit I have to do something heroic for my club and for my prestige........"

Our CEO could have just imagined all these scenario's and let the fear of losing Foran become a nightmare under his watch....

Poor CEO took the fear bait (regardless of his own doing or by others) and panicked......

This shit happens Baz..

Was in big business for 20 years, seen all kinds of shit going on. This includes another 10 years since leaving my business doing the Love For Life work where I've been getting deeply involved in helping thousands of families, couples and individuals stressed to the max and panicking for one reason or another.

Sorry to Foran for putting up for this embarrassing mess. But we can tell you're a champion for giving us a second chance!!

 

[Casper The Ghost]

No end in sight, the madness continues....

 

[parra pete]

Foran has signed with us?

I apologies to him

Luv your humour TPB...:lol:

 

[TheRam]

Go fu*k yourself omc. The point is that none of this crap should have happened no matter how you want to wrap this shit filled pie.

It stinks!

I think though that you should apologise to all of us Parra supporters that actually have a clue and that have had the unfortunate experience to read your dribble.

Who cares whether someone is an employee? The Chair is an officer of the company (as are other board members). This is not day-to-day box ticking. Player contracts represent decisions of major strategic importance to the club. Not suggesting that the Chair sign off on $10k purchase orders.

Modern corporations do delegate decision making to the executive, but they maintain rights of veto/ratification over major decisions.

A half-decent CEO would be telling the Board to piss off if they were constantly overtly looking over his shoulder

It's nothing to do with constantly overtly looking over their shoulder. It is about making sure that crucial strategic decisions are not finalised without some degree of ratification. It doesn't mean that the Chair / Board have to be involved in day-to-day management (they shouldn't be). I've sat on several boards / audit committees where this happens as a matter of course. Do you reckon that the CEOs of listed companies can do things like a) issue new equity, b) launch a takeover bid for a large target, c) hire a new CFO etc without Board oversight? The playing contracts of the top 25 players are the most important decision taken by the NRL club, and we don't sign one every day of the week.

 

[Joely01]

I apologize for saying he was going last week.
But I am told he certainly was and BA is the reason he is staying.

I will happily get on my knees whenever BA needs me to do so :lol:

Brown paper bags would have helped. Am sure many Eels fans would have enjoyed a constant procession of top 25 signings. Think how Roosters fans must feel every night as they snuggle up to their pillows.
