BV, do you dismiss the possibility/probability that some people will state things to make themselves look important; in the know; connected?
Not at all, but dont assume that everyone does the same.
Some posters come on TC and I barely bother reading their posts but that doesnt mean I discount everyone.
I've met several posters or related to others over the years on the net and you soon gain a feeling for who's full of shit.
I've met Synbad and i know for a fact who his sources are. Josh has told me who his sources are. I know a few posters who are relatives of players and others who have official/unofficial roles within the club.
Lets not assume that everyone is full of shit because some are.

Things are happening and thankfully some here at TC have very good sources.
Just remember, they are doing us a favour by letting us in on the info.
They are under no obligation to do so.

Your making a big assumption that all here on TC are not happy with the board . I actually think the board has been quite clever and calculating with some of the stuff that has gone on in the off season and we are just to blind to see it .
How my post in any way infers that all at TC are not happy with the board is beyond me.
What are you smoking Sydney?

We keep hearing that there is no buisness plan but who says there is not just because they dont announce their plan to the public doesn't mean there is not one . How many buisnesses annouce to the world what their future plans are - not many
If they do have a business plan, its not worth the paper it's written on.
I was fortunate enough to sit in on a meeting 18 months ago where Malouf outlined the clubs financial situation to some corporate supporters.
He explained to those in attendance where the cub would be financially situated by the end of the 06 season.
IMHO, We are so far removed from those fanciful projections atm that I fear for their competence.
If they cant successfuly implement a 12 month business plan, how will they go with 5 years?
We are making it up as we go along.
As someone who has met Smorgon and Malouf often, let me tell you they are lovely blokes.
They would be OK in a club which was stable and needed to be "steered along".
Are they capable of running
this football club? Not a chance.
Maybe you're the one making assumptions?
