News Lions Board Spill - update: Board Dispute Resolved

[Mooch]

Alright you lot - looks like my work here is done.

Send me an email when you need me again if this clown jumps on. You all must have it? Emails are publicly available these days.

I'm still waiting to hear how Henry Pinskier got my email address. It certainly wasn't from me.

Sadly, all my IT gurus have gone down with a bad case of ethics-itis.

I offered them all sorts of financial inducements to do a bit of hacky -whacky but by golly, they're a straight laced bunch.

I would have fired the lot of them but I'm too big a softy so I offered them all a voluntary redundancy package

I want to know what Henry Pinskier or any other random nominee can bring to the board that someone with Mick Power's resources, contacts and influence can't?

eg. are you planning on tipping in more resources than Mick Power has already contributed and will continue doing so? what contacts and networks can you rely on that will be of benefit to the Brisbane Lions?

I have so many questions, but as a starting point, wouldn't mind you addressing those in addition to where on earth you got my email from?

I bet you're a member of TLR.

I bet you're a member of TLR.

Don't be silly, an unlearned minion like me is far too beneath an elitist group like TLR.

Henry, you are a pure politician. Unfortunately for you, the people with voting rights at the EGM aren't being forced to but instead paid money to earn the right to. So whilst in Australian politics it is easy to offer uneducated morons free money they don't deserve in order to win votes, Lions members who are involved with the club enough to pay money for voting rights can see through your key statements involving our premiership jumper (which will return regardless of your involvement), Leigh Matthews (who will return regardless of your involvement) and an unrealistic view on football department spending. Your view of removing Williams and Power is also farcical considering the groundwork they put in to get the club to an EGM in the first place. So whilst I don't doubt your passion for the Brisbane Lions I find it disappointing that you are trying to steal the limelight on the eve of the members finally taking greater control of their club.

You will probably not reply to my statement just as you have not to many of the other members you are trying to win over, but let it be known that we are just as passionate about the club as yourself but no where near as delusional.

 

[Lionator]

This whole dr Henry cannot be legit. This guy is a troll or a much more sinister person. Can we red card him?

 

[luthor]

This is my take.

I think it's time we stopped responding to this HENRY PINKSIER git.

Whether or not he really is Dr P or not isn't relevant.

If he is, he's below contempt and we are just going around in circles. It's obvious he's not going to give straight answers to any intelligent (or even semi-intelligent) questions.

And if he's not Dr.P, then we are all being sucked in by a troll.

I'm not sure if there is actually an *ignore* button in Bigfooty but from here-on in I'm going into self -imposed *Ignore* for any more of the Doctor's ramblings/rantings.

You know what they say about arguing with fools.?

 

[Lixy_]

This dude seems to simply to be a huckster of hubris, retailer of rhetoric, a scallywag of spammage and scammage. I agree, it's hard to imagine he could possibly be the marvellous Henry Pinskier, saviour of the weak week and stealer of thunder?

I'd expect someone who'd bitten off as much as Henry Pinskier claims to chew to be inspiringly forthright, transparent, cognisant, engaging and, at the very least, fluent in English?

It was fun while it lasted, but I think the romance is fading.

Bye bye Henry, we hardly knew ye.

 

[Always a Lion]

It seems Dr Pinkie is trying his damnedest to be an annoying untrustworthy controversial bore. He is sticking steadfast to his support of Leigh, whilst trying to discredit who Leigh supports. Seems the real aim is to discredit Leigh by association, either by his (the Dr) associated support of Leigh or by Leigh's association/support of Williams and Power.

Leigh may well be the intended Target here.

Anyhow, whether the real Dr Pinkie of not, his contribution are getting rather tiresome.

 

[Hollow Knight]

If Lion's Roar vote to back Williams and Power, it will be exposed for what it is: a sly vehicle for one side of a Lions boardroom brawl.

Why wouldn't individual volunteers of the Lion's Roar be able to vote for whoever they like? If they're voting members, they get a vote.

Time to stop tilting at windmills Don Pinkixote.

 

[Henry Pinskier]

Why wouldn't individual volunteers of the Lion's Roar be able to vote for whoever they like? If they're voting members, they get a vote.

Time to stop tilting at windmills Don Pinkixote.

Lion's Roar's form:

• Supported an EGM that only had motions to remove directors from ONE side of the boardroom brawl despite BOTH sides sacking Vossy and generally acting the goat with constant leaking and counter-leaking to a salivating media
• Running an email list to contact members while endlessly attacking a new group for running an email list to contact members and supporters
• Calling for members to have a greater say in the Club while endlessly attacking a new group of members and supporters having a go and a say and offering members a real choice
• Pretending to support Leigh Matthews but implicitly undermining him by alleging he won't serve the Club he loves without two dud directors Mick Power and Paul Williams being on the board. All Lethal has actually said is that he didn't want Chairman Angus and his mob on there. Let the members rise up and elect our own people. Why can't a so-called "membership advocacy" group speak up for that and for all of us. Instead TLR increasingly looks like a puppet of a guy called Power.

Smells fishy to me. It will all end in tears.

There is a better way at Restore the Lions' Pride

 

[Chasing the Dream]

Has there been any further emails from henry since the first one??

 

[chopperduck]

Dead set delusional.

 

[chopperduck]

Running an email list to contact members while endlessly attacking a new group for running an email list to contact members and supporters

TLR asked people for their details to keep them informed, you didn't, you somehow managed to get peoples details without their permission, and continue to dodge the question on how you got said details.

 

[Lionator]

Where are the mods here? Do we allow hugely inflammatory comments on here based on no fact to continue?? This guy is a troll!!!! What doctor of anything would steel the logo they use off big footy?? We have been conned big time.

 

[Roylion]

Lion's Roar's form:

• Supported an EGM that only had motions to remove directors from ONE side of the boardroom brawl despite BOTH sides sacking Vossy and generally acting the goat with constant leaking and counter-leaking to a salivating media

Supported the CALLING of an EGM, where both tickets can put their case to the members.

• Running an email list to contact members while endlessly attacking a new group for running an email list to contact members and supporters

We know how The Lions Roar collected their email list and they certainly didn't have the resources to contact every current Lions member, as Dr. Henry Pinskier did. The question therefore remains. Where did Henry Pinskier get his mailing list from and how does that mailing list have the email of every current Brisbane Lions member. The Lions Roar don't have such a list.

• Calling for members to have a greater say in the Club while endlessly attacking a new group of members and supporters having a go and a say and offering members a real choice

I haven't seen any example of The Lions Roar attacking a new group of members. Care to provide an example that can be verified independently.

In fact The Lions Roar, have stated that:

"You will see that the resolutions will call for the removal of 5 directors: Angus Johnson, Cameron Milner, Linda Nash, Mick Power and Paul Williams. The latter two are the challenging directors who are aligned with Leigh Matthews. We think this amendment is entirely appropriate - you should be given the right to have your say on the future of all 5 directors."

There is a better way at Restore the Lions' Pride

I have my doubts about that.

So here's a question from me Henry. What is the opinion of 'Restore the Lions Pride' on how the Club should work in the future in regards to their merger partner the Fitzroy Football Club? Do you favour a closer relationship?

all good points.... But don't feed the troll

 

[Crusha]

Your sides must be splitting, Grim.

 

[Caiphus]

OH! Hi [user]Henry Pinskier[/user]!!

I'm sure you've told everyone else this already, but I must have missed it! I'm sure a nice man like you won't mind saying it again for little ol' me (I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes and my spelling can be atrocious!), where was it that you so cleverly acquired Lions member's email addresses?

Oh, and I'm sure you're dying to know - I'm not a member of The Ryan's Law but, I have to admit, I do love cucumbers!

oo, err missus!

 

[Caiphus]

Seems familiar...

 

[GingerGreatness]

So... Now we have Leigh tweeting:
"Without the courage and determination of Paul Williams and Mick Power to seek change there would be no EGM and no members right to a vote"

I do hope Milliner is scratching around trying to come up with a better strategy than Henry... Bringing the fail with every post.

 

[LeighMatthews]

Yes I was a bit slow getting my tweet onto here, but it's exactly as I was saying last night to Henry.

Which reminds me ... when did you start pretending you had a group of people (and a comma) in your organisation?
