when ever anyone chooses to disagree with you you always have to resort to childish name calling. I get it, Surrey gets its, Mark gets, Kermit gets it.
There are a few that dont resort to childish shit on this site and you arent one of them.
But being on the board wouldnt be the hardest job ever goining around. IMO you over complicate things and get awed by numbers. There is no difference in running a company that manages $2000 a year compared to a company that manages $2 billion a year. Its all about numbers and if you forget the zeros there is no difference. good management is good management.
But why would i want to join the board anyway, then i would have to listen to blokes like you all the time.
So you can learn something....
I didnt name call you.... i just said you should run for president PREZ!!!!
Cos you are very insightful... especially when you quote figures like 14k as a "break even point" but dont tell us how you got to that figure.
Youre happy to stay at Optus with all its old stands that are falling over... the shithouse corporate facilities, lack of toilets.22,000 a week crowds, no night game free to air TV exposure...
I think you dont care about the club thats what i think.
If you can honestly sit there and tell us why you think this club should be playing in front of a crowd of about 24,000 per week in its home games.. get no free to air tv at prime time... have a ground that has stands that need special exemption to pass health dept standards for certain crowd capacities.... need another 20 million minimum (just in stands)in redevelopment(Gardiner and Healtley stands) have no training facilities and a debt thats an albatross around its neck...and you think im going to consider you BRAIN SURGEON material you have another thing coming...
youve been going on an on about foolishness for a year now.. The board has led you to the new century by the nose and you still dont get it.!!
Is the board perfect???
No!!!!
It just does the BEST it CAN about a very difficult situation....
If you want it to be perfect... first consider yourself... are you perfect???
Is your life perfection free of obstacles and hurdles???
Of course it may not have been Carlton UTOPIA.. with us playing at the G...but then we never had a chance to be transplanted to the G for every home game....
And no we couldnt stay at Optus either... unless you were going to pay to have the place redeveloped completely.
So for those of you who bitch and moan about what the board is doing..... WAKE UP!!!!!!!.. your lucky it had the balls to shift us and we didnt spend the next 10 years playing at a ground thats falling and dying around our ankles in front of massive crowds of 22,000 to 24,000 a week!!!!!
I suppose those massive crowds are going to turn this ship around are they???
Ive often said.. EVEN IF WE MADE $500k a year profit but only had one person inside the gates who paid the club 20.5 million a year out of his own pocket (20 mill to run a football club and going up)... were sticll fuc.ked!!!!.... cos the supporter base is diminishing PREZ.... what we do need is getting as many families to the football each week.. to make watching Carlton a lifestyle... something kids can grow up doing for a lifetime... So if were averaging 40k supporters and not 22/24k ... dont you think were better off long term????
Are you sensitive PREZ?????
Good!!!!
You might wake up to yourself!!!!
