News Lions Board Spill - update: Board Dispute Resolved

[Happy_Neale]

Thought the same a little while ago....I posted in the thread what I thought, but deleted it in case I got more points.

When I was a kid growing up, some people were called s.h.i.t stirrers, troublemakers or attention seekers...

..I can see those words coming into vogue again.

Shit isn't blocked by the swear filter MM.

Are you a member of Lion's Roar and are you supporting the incumbent directors Williams and Power despite their role in proposing and voting for throwing Vossy out into the street?

I think your "strategy" is failing.

 

[adey115]

Henry. You've bagged Williams and Power. You've watered down any references to Johnson. I've got two words for you:

CAMERON MILNER.

Offer us a specific opinion Henry, on his involvement in the Board, and his involvement with you.

You've avoided the question a million times. But why? Because you're nothing but a political stooge.

 

[luthor]

I think your "strategy" is failing.

I wonder what's on the B side of the record?

 

[MacMum]

I read Henry's posts and well, gee can't help but think of whathisname, LRL44

(hope thats the right moniker, but I think you'll know who I mean)

 

[Haso]

Henry Pinskier, hope you're having a great Friday.

Would you mind telling us where you got your mailing list from?

Sorry no Cam do.

 

[adey115]

Sorry no Cam do.

He's keeping it under his hat. Hence not only is it "no Cam do", but he's also been visiting a "Mil(li)ner" for the afore-mentioned hat.

That is a complicated, verbose and obtuse pun you have conjured up there.

I commend you sir.

I've been called worse than complicated, or verbose, or obtuse... or sir.

Link?

 

[Davemonkey]

Done. A lot of commentary about Blacky and nothing new on the board but he is definitely in campaign mode. If a link gets posted to the interview I'll post.

 

[Elixuh]

Leigh basically said RE the exodus of young players that it indicates to him that something isn't 'right here'. If the team isn't performing then the coach has to go and that's what happened. If the organisation isn't functioning then the chairman must go and that's where we're at now.

 

[LeighMatthews]

I was going to mention BigFooty but I thought it went pretty well generally?

 

[Crusha]

Question:
Has anyone actually seen Grim/Leigh/"Hank" post......at exactly the same time......??????

Shame the Live Trade Radio isn't working.

The only day when anything significant starts happening, and AFL IT fails.

Probably start working again just in time to Listen to "The List Manager" read last year's notes again.

Don't mind me, proceed back on topic at your leisure.

 

[POBT]

I think this is where I am at. By almost every measure, our club is in trouble. We've put in place a few things that will help us long term but I have no confidence that we've turned the corner.

I don't know if the Chairman is necessarily to blame but I also think that the basic principle of accountability says that he must take responsibility for the past several years.

I haven't made up my mind on Nash, Milner, Williams and Power yet but I have reached the conclusion that a new direction is required and that can only happen if the Chairman moves on.

 

[Always a Lion]

I'd like to know where Dr Pikie got our contact details. If in fact they came from the club via Milner, then WTF, he ought to resign to spare us the trouble at the EGM.

Really?....Its an AFL site, but it breaks down when Lethal is going to be on.....interesting.

 

[MacMum]

...and I DO NOT like the boards/pinkster apparent entanglement with the ALP....keep that sort of stuff RIGHT OUT OF OUR CLUB.

Has there ever been an honest politician or large-scale businessman??

To be fair, it would be hard to be a prominent person in Brisbane and not be connected to either side of politics. I am aware of at least one strong link to the Libs on the current board.

Thats the first time I've heard about the Libs, thats ok then!! JUST KIDDING!

Unless we go back to running chook raffles, it is going to be hard to ever divorce business/politics from the running of a football club.

I don't like it either but it is the reality of professional footy. Too many liniment sniffers!
