Sydney no one is arguing that we're on the nose.
the issue is how to take the Club forward. Is it:
* Through the Status Quo
- Under a man who seems to use PR firms to issue nonsense statements
- Is a bit on the nose with a few of us for not creating any new ideas to assist the Club in a time of crisis
- Seems intent on limiting our exposure to the media
- Is rumoured to be on the nose with some benefactors who could help to repay our massive, and increasing debt
- Seems happy that we are forecast to have a cash loss despite 32,000 members and costs cut to the bone
or
* Through a rumoured new faction which will help to repay the debt
- May or may not have any new ideas
Its the cash injuection and new direction that entices.
2006 was a complete write-off and someone must accept responsibility. The Coach wont / hasn't, the CEO wont / hasnt and where does the Board stand? Well, it stands divided - more of the same or bring some others in with some $?
Mols I dont beleive for one minute that there are wealthy benefactors waiting in the wings to tip money into the club as soon as Smorgan goes , I think that is an utter fabrication . The only person who supposed to have offered up money was Brown to get rid of Pagan and the club was faced with excepting Browns $600k or losing Demispews 1.5 mill and choose the later .
If the so called rebels can get better sponsorship deals than the current board then why doesn't one of them do it - why dont they come forward and say here we have ex amount of $ - There not because they dont have it - This spill is being driven by a bunch of digruntled supporters who have no Collins to fall back on no one to lead them to the promise land . There is nothing behind them otherwise they would put it out there for all to see. They are trying to get their hands on a report to shame the board instead of showing us all what they can do.
It is Bullshit of the highest order . I am by no means a fan of this board but to me the alternative at this stage is a bigger rabble .
smorgan has tried to implement some sort of plan-
He has shaken up Pagan
He insured we dont have a bullants side stack we recycled players
He is trying to promote the club
The aternative is sitting back pointing the finger and saying we have the money to put things straight and dont produce nothing .
frankly I'm getting a bit tired of the whole thing it seems that everyone that who has worn a Navy blue suit gets touted as a potential savour only to quickly distance themselves as soon as their names are linked with the club.
I also disagree he is limting are exposure to the media - There is hardly a day goes by where Carlton is not in the Press
