Maybe not, but there's quite a few others who would...

 

[longdonkey]

Right now it's Cardone, Snowdon, Tredrea, Richo, CD, Cassisi and Cripps, though I'm not sure how involved Cripps is past list management matters.

I don't think it's too many at all. Can't be leaving the general direction of the footy program in the hands of 2-3 people.

The issue is who they are, because in theory if Cardone, Richo, Davies and Cassisi vote as a bloc Stinkers stays here forever.

Cassisi wants Carr as the senior coach.

I am near certain that Hinkley won't be there longer than 2025.

 

[longdonkey]

Their answer up until now has been that we don't want a board full of past players.

Which, obviously, is a crock of shit, because something like 13 of the last 16 premiers have full member controlled boards and vote in balanced board

To be fair, having a board full of ex-players isn't the answer either. What I dislike is that we have professional board sitters there instead. I run into these people all the time and you find them in places like Woo Hoo, they charge a couple grand per day for their consultancy services. They are talking heads usually have a couple very nice degrees but generally know nothing about your business.

And their goal is to sit on as many boards as possible, they consult. They generally preach globalisation, sub-contracting services and increasing layers of bureaucracy in business and government. They are parasites and should be eliminated from economic existence.

I'm a patient man but even my patience is getting exhausted.

Mine too, mate.

If the club are fair dinkum they would announce a succession plan before the season starts and ideally before the AGM.

If nothing happens before the AGM, I won't be surprised if there are multiple questions asked of the directors on the Board about a succession plan, and I'm fairly certain that is not something they will be comfortable answering in any way, shape or form.

If history is a guide, they aren't going to answer those questions.

People who ask the questions have to be very disciplined not to make any negative statements before asking their question because they will just use the statement that they don't agree with the premise of the question, so they won't answer.

I'd love to hear an answer to this question.

Have there been discussions or is there a current action plan to return the club to a 100% member voted board? As much as anything to hear the murmurs when they No.

Oh absolutely, my point was more that the member voted boards aren't full of former players.

They do have some former players though, and it's far less likely for people low on substance to sit on the board for a decade or more.

Fully agree with you, but I think Koch likes his board full of professional board sitters who don't know or care enough to rock the boat

Is he turning around to Tredders or does he still hate his guts

 

[tribey]

Oh absolutely, my point was more that the member voted boards aren't full of former players.

According to someone who attended the Dinner With The CEO thing awhile back, Richardson trotted out this line of thinking in regards to reverting to a member-owned club.

Yet before Tredrea was elected, we were the only club in the league to not have a single former player currently on the board, or in the executive.

Not one!

We Exist To Be Paralysed By Doomsday Hypotheticals.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We Exist To Be Paralysed By Doomsday Hypotheticals.

It's ridiculous.

If we do literally anything else but plod along with the same brutally uninspiring group of losers in charge we've had for the last decade, the club which has been around for 154 years will immediately lose all it's best players before being shipped wholesale off to Tasmania.

I hope we all are

 

[PA88]

I want to vote for the guy that wants a new direction with a new senior coach. Which one?
I don't know if Fiachi does nor do I know if Snowdon wants the same.
