No matter who the people are that are on the boards of both the Football Club and Leagues Club giving the power to the Leagues Club will be the biggest mistake in the clubs history and could potential kill the club off. It simply cannot be allowed to happen.I'll reply later on in more depth, but this just shows how clueless Lynne Anderson (who SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS) is, and exposes underlying agendas of the current Football board that many feared.
She is a Director, she should know these things.
This is all over our social media pages, and website. Fucking morons.
This is from ClubsNSW site..
APPOINTING DIRECTORS – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Section 30 of the Registered Clubs Act 1976 allows club boards to independently appoint up to two directors in addition to those who have been elected directly by the members, subject to the following requirements:
- the term of appointment is for a period of no more than three years;
- the person must be a full member of the club;
- the person is not eligible for re-appointment after the end of the term (meaning they must stand for election should they wish to continue); and
- within 21 days of an appointment, the board must notify members by placing a notice on its notice board and website of the reasons for the appointment, including the person's relevant skills and qualifications and any proposed honorarium.
This is a ‘deemed rule’ under the Act, meaning all club constitutions are deemed to provide the Board with the authority to appoint directors.
However, some clubs may have constitutional restrictions on who can be elected as a director, such as rules that limit those eligible to stand for election to members of a certain class, or requirements to the effect that in order to be elected to the board one must have been a member of the club for a certain period of time.
Although these rules may only be applicable to ‘elected’ and not ‘appointed’ directors, clubs should review their constitutions prior to appointing a director, and consider obtaining legal advice if necessary.
The ability to appoint directors is different to the powers most boards already have under their constitutions to appoint a person to fill a casual vacancy on the board due, to the death or resignation of a director during his or her term of office.
Importantly, additional appointed directors must not increase the size of the board beyond the maximum number permitted by the Registered Clubs Act, which as of 1 January 2017 must be no more than nine directors.
So... back to the current Football club board. WHY are they running scared? WHY are they so upset over this? Because this has potentially fucked their agendas (some which can't be spoken in public just yet due to defamation laws, because proof is not out in public). Suffice to say, it's eye opening and a genuine concern.
