Seven members of the Unity Team have been elected to the new Board. The future of our club is now in their hands. The old Board have only themselvers to blame. After all their good work with the development, in the eyes of the public, they seeming turned on their own during the ASADA inquisition. Such was their fate. Let's now hope that the new Board will build on past positives and our club goes from strength to strength.

Im not suprised they won.
They deserved it in terms of promoting themselves.
Good luck to them ... Don't f**k it up.

Agree above sentiments.Got a feeling the 8th director (just guessing) is either Craig Douglas or Sparkles.

The people who voted for unity ticket in entirity have been conned & have proibably brought an end to our club.
Lets hope Sparkles maintains the rage & Glen Coleman leaks like a seive so we are kept up to date with their shenanighans for the next 2 years.

Its Douglas, not Sparkles. He is fuming that it has been leaked prior & has already set up a facebook page to monitor these new muppetts.

CRONULLA'S embattled board was last night overthrown, with the club's members overwhelmingly voting to install Damian Keogh's Unity rebel ticket.
Although the result won't be officially announced until tonight's AGM, The Daily Telegraph can reveal seven members of the rebel ticket have gained control of the stricken franchise.
Chairman Glenn Coleman remains at the helm, but only by virtue of the fact he was not directly challenged for the spot.
The other new board member was not known last night. However, it's understood former chairman Damian Irvine has failed in his bid to be re-elected. Irvine resigned in the midst of the ASADA investigation, but threw his hat in the ring as an independent candidate.
Speaking from New York, where he travelled for pre-arranged work commitments, Keogh claimed the victory was emphatic. "It appears the members have voted in favour of change and unity," the former Olympic basketballer said.

The other members of Unity are: John Dumphy, Darren McConnell, Paul O'Neile, Craig Airey, Kevin Dwyer, Paul McCarthy, Andrew Boldeman, and Dino Mezzatesta. Voting ran from last Tuesday until yesterday and the campaign featured dirty tactics when Keogh's ticket was threatened with disqualification.

As a supporter who doesn't live in the Shire, who are these people? What have they done? What will they bring to the table? Self interest or club?

I've heard of Keogh - ex-basketballer who heads some company. Will they put up sponsorship? If the others are connected to big business, are they going to provide sponsorship?

10 member board?

Unity's "how to vote" guide.

McCarthy isn't on it, though I do believe he was a member of Unity early on in the piece?

Perhaps some inaccuracies in the leak.

"Our No. 1 priority is to create a sustainable franchise in the Shire and to create a springboard to be a perennial challenger for the premiership," Keogh said.

"Under the banner of Sharks unity, we plan to unite the players, coaches, supporters, sponsors and Shire residents behind the club.
"And we will adapt the best performance practice of existing NRL clubs and AFL clubs into the Sharks, including strategic plans, key performance indicators and a winning culture.
"We need to be run as professionally as any other sporting club in this country. That hasn't ever happened at Cronulla, particularly in the last few years when the club didn't even have a chief executive."
Keogh will deliver a strong message of support to the area's junior ranks if his ticket is successful. He points out that not one official, coach or player turned up from the Cronulla Sharks to celebrate 50 years of junior league at a function last weekend.
"Supporting the junior league is very important to us," Keogh said.
"In the Cronulla area, we have the fourth largest league nursery in Sydney with over 4000 registered players. Local juniors have to be a priority."
Keogh has also vowed to use his wide range of advertising contacts to help the Sharks find sponsorship for the Stadium and the NRL jersey.
"It's been a difficult time during the ASADA investigation to get sponsors to come on board," Keogh said.
"But that's no excuse for what's happened in recent years. Since LG left, we had Hisense, Blades, Fishermans Friend and Shark energy drink.
"We need to provide support to the Sharks Football club management by bringing about cultural change from the top down in all key areas of the business."

Keogh is CEO ( I think) of Val Morgan advertising.
Val Morgan does all the pre movie adds you see at the cinema.
