I'm impressed with your research but how important really is having those qualifications when they can't even have an impartial tribunal on the future of des Hasler? Boys stick together , pack mentality , one for and all and all for one is a stigma associated with males. At least having a woman on board is a small step towards deodorising the stale air of the club.
It's not even about that.

If they wanted a woman for diversity, why not promote Raelene to a board member, and get ourselves another CEO.

Raelene actually has credentials that would work well with the board (she was running Netball NZ).

Lol I don't think its a promotion going from CEO to board member is it?
I agree though shes definitely not CEO material for a football club.
I'd say marketing manager

Was going better prior to the introduction of Ms Castle. Germany was better without that female chancellor.

How's picking and choosing facts going for ya?

Look if this chick actually gets shit done and isn't here to say I'm here I'm girl I'm strong and moves our club forward I will eat my words. Until then this is a typical "diversity" "feminist" grab shit ploy.

And you know its a political correct term when eeee agrees with your posts.

So what I want to understand is, and I'll go point by point

  • The board is filled with successful businessmen
  • We should have found another successful business person because they know what they're doing
  • This new board member was selected by said successful businessmen
  • These successful businessmen know what they are doing because they're successful
  • So they would have gone through their proper checks and balances in selecting a new board member
  • But she shouldn't have been selected because she's not a successful business person

Lol ffs

The board gets paid peanuts compared to the CEO so I'm not sure how that would be a promotion. Who is a better candidate for the board ?

Who were the other candidates and how did they stack up. On the surface she looks like she brings something to the table and has bulldog blood. Her being a woman or man makes no difference to me. Usual suspects talking shit without even knowing her or what she brings

Firstly you've already used that line.
Secondly you took that line from me.
So essentially to add to the feminist list is they're frauds.

When you say 'firstly' does that lessen the importance of secondly?

Thinking she was hired to be pc is a bit rough. Saying she has nothing else to offer. She has family ties to the club, which means she cares about more than about her next pay rise, and having political ties cant hurt, especially if u are ever chasing govt funding for things like ground upgrades.

Hasnt earned any praise or reason to flame her yet in the position. Hasnt had a chance. I prefer to wait and see what people earn before judging.

It's amazing... who has that level of interest to care about whoever was appointed to this position? How are you working out who has the credentials? What form guide are you reading from?? We could change the guy running water and someone would give a passionate response as to why we've gone with the wrong water guy.

Spot on, she has enough credentials to deserve a fair go before being judged either way.

Anne Sinclair has a very strong Bulldog background, but may still be a Ray Dib stooge brought in to give him more support.

But I don't think so. The bloke she works for, Tony Burke MP, the Member for Watson is as straight as a die and a fair dinkum Bulldog fan; and in my opinion wouldn't employ an anti Bulldogs spy. So I don't think its just a bullshit gender thing, I reckon Anne Sinclair will go okay.

But I still wish Turvey was there.
