The only reason and I will reiterate the only reason this board was elected was because we were so desperate to get rid of the last board. They didn’t bring anything to the table, they made brash promises and have not delivered except continually blaming the last board even 2 years on but play “family club” bull shit.
The reality is they were only voted in because we wanted the last board gone.
That doesn’t exactly Instill confidence and I think it’s shown with sponsors no longer knocking at the door and also many leaving with the last board.
Some corrections there:
- What brash promises that they have not delivered on? The entire ticket was about getting the club back to its roots which was always going to take time.
- Continually blaming the last board? When? They've never said a word about the previous administration. The closest they came was in May 2018 when they fronted the members and said that what they'd inherited was 'worse than we first understood - and we can't be competitive in the player market until 2021'.
- Sponsors no longer knocking at the door - well of course when you're forced into the bottom 4 with poor roster/cap management. Even then they managed to get Rashay's to agree to part with $2m before two selfish former employees screwed that up.
- Many sponsors leaving - who? Parkview, yes, a mate of Ray's. KIA, yes, downgraded for a better deal with the Ponies, but still stayed on in some capacity with the Dogs (they didn't have to). Most sponsors were retained (even on lower deals) - the only ones to have left were due to player behaviour problems - nothing the board did.
Perspective. Many are getting into a twist over an unsubstantiated rumour - and that's all that's happened up to now.
