In a letter addressed to Deputy Premier Troy Grant, Mr Sharp said the club had "deep-seated political issues" and conceded that leaking, gossip and speculation had made it "impossible for the governing body to be effective".

The board of the Parramatta Rugby League Club has blamed its former chief executive for the salary cap breaches, which cost the club $1 million and 12 competition points.
A spokesman for the gaming authority said it resolved to replace the board with a temporary administrator, Max Donnelly, of Ferrier Hodgson.
He said the authority was of the opinion the club's board had ceased to be effective as a governing body.
Mr Donnelly is expected to remain in place until the authority decides otherwise.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has welcomed he appointment of the administrator.
"Our only interest is to help Parramatta become a strong and successful club again," Mr Greenberg said in a statement.
"That will only happen if the club has a strong back office with the highest standards of governance.
"This decision paves the way for the Eels to get back on the right path for the fans, coach and football team.
"The NRL will work closely with the administrator to make that happen as quickly as possible."
Mr Grant said he welcomed the authority's decision, saying it would allow the administrator to immediately begin the process of cleaning up the club.
He also said it was in the best interests of the league and fans to draw a line under the saga and restore confidence in the club's administration.
Say bye-bye Mr Sharp
