St Kilda Board Statement
http://www.saints.com.au/Default.aspx?t ... wsId=51545
The St Kilda Football Club today announced that a Board meeting will be called at the earliest possible time to set a date for a General Meeting to resolve once and for all the notice of removal of directors, as issued by hostile Director John Gdanski.
The Club is of the view that the challenge to the current Board must be resolved by the members at an EGM as soon as possible.
The rebel group has now issued a second notice calling for a meeting 19 days earlier than the original notice (12th November), which clearly limits the Club’s ability to respond in reasonable time, given the statutory 21 day notice period to members and printing, mailing house and postage requirements (20 Calender days).
In the view of a majority of the Board, this was a mischievous attempt to unfairly limit the preparation of a proper response to members.
The Club has received strong advice that John Gdanski’s second notice is invalid on a number of counts, including the limited notice period.
However, the Club is equally committed to calling an EGM where the members of the Club can and will decide the make up of their preferred Board.
Can someone help me what are they trying to say?

The strength behind you is always greater than the challenge in front of you

The current board is fractured, and suffering from in-fighting. There are only 3 board members supporting RB. In total they have limited talent, business management skills, relationships & networks to take the club forward.
A challenger has a cohesive vision, a significanly more talented team & is ready to take over.
The current board is therefore, become reactive and scrambling to build a defense to the challenger. They are stalling for time. The fact that they have taken this move shows that they have no vision for taking the club forward. Their only public statements have related to legal threats & ignoring the club's obvious problems.....

Yes KT, you're so right
and they are ignoring the 7500 voices of members who in only 7 days have spoken with their proxies saying they want them gone.
Delay , change, confuse, legal games, and spin , spin , spin. ...it's sad that everyone can see they're gone , but them.
the 5 of them will become the john elliots of stkilda

Re: St Kilda Board Statement
Okay, a board meeting to set a date for another meeting? How busy are these board members in their current positions that it takes 3 meetings to get a meeting to discuss a hostile challenge?The St Kilda Football Club today announced that a Board meeting will be called at the earliest possible time to set a date for a General Meeting to resolve once and for all the notice of removal of directors, as issued by hostile Director John Gdanski.
Agreed.The Club is of the view that the challenge to the current Board must be resolved by the members at an EGM as soon as possible.
Surely the ball was put in motion at the first word of an EGM being called. So The Board are asking for a 41 day notice, as of when?The rebel group has now issued a second notice calling for a meeting 19 days earlier than the original notice (12th November), which clearly limits the Club’s ability to respond in reasonable time, given the statutory 21 day notice period to members and printing, mailing house and postage requirements (20 Calender days).
How long does it take? Surely SFF wants the resolution to come to completion as soon as possible, so the club can gear more successfully towards the 2008 season, and there should be no mischief in calling the earliest possible date.In the view of a majority of the Board, this was a mischievous attempt to unfairly limit the preparation of a proper response to members.
Also, see bolded quote above.
Notice for what? of what? Of the 23rd Oct EGM?The Club has received strong advice that John Gdanski’s second notice is invalid on a number of counts, including the limited notice period.
They don't have much choice.However, the Club is equally committed to calling an EGM where the members of the Club can and will decide the make up of their preferred Board.
I really don't see any substance to this, other than the current board are pissed at SFF and Gdanski. That and the current board can't seem to work together enough to start resolving the issue.
I started out at 50/50 RB/SKFF with my vote, but every little thing that has come out of RB's camp since the challenge, combined with quite a few things SFF have addressed put me at 10/90 in favour of SKFF.

Re: St Kilda Board Statement
What a crock!! By my reckoning it is still 31 days until October 23rd, so what mischief is anyone getting up to? None, nothing, nada. It is more deflection and distraction.Juggernaut wrote:http://www.saints.com.au/Default.aspx?t ... wsId=51545

How about focussing on the issues and cutting the crap.
This alone is proof that this boards time has come. Instead of focussing on the club, the issues and the members, they are focussing on staying in power (via loopholes and smoke and mirrors).
Time to go ladies.

Re: St Kilda Board Statement
Are we forgetting that Rod gave up his time (for nicks) to virtually save this club...maybe his time is up but lets not eat our own.aussierules0k wrote:Once and for allJuggernaut wrote: to resolve once and for all the notice of removal of directorsWhat rubbish. That sounds like a desperate RB.
I believe the board has realized the end is near and will roll over easily. OR RB has found a loop hole in the process. Of course IF RB get's re-elected he wont be able to get to work cos there will be a picket line outside Linton St.
BTW Juggernaut, I couldn't easily see another similar thread and if this thread also gets locked or deleted while I'm going to the trouble of posting (like one the other day) - I'll spew.

I don't think anyone is denying Rod credit where it's due. And it is certainly due in his case.BallBanger wrote:Are we forgetting that Rod gave up his time (for nicks) to virtually save this club...maybe his time is up but lets not eat our own.
It's just time to move on from that era, due to a number of influences under RB's control, and a few outside of it.

Correct Saints Premiers. All wording by the club since the initial launch by SFF has been inflammatory and trying to put SFF as the "enemy".Saints Premiers 2006 wrote:"hostile Director John Gdanski"
that sums it up for me...albeit small
there is no need to call him hostile or anything of that nature...
time to go rb however i thank you for turning this club around and hopefully it shall continue
From Day 1 the board should have welcomed and embraced the challenge and then put reasonable and convincing arguement as to why they are the better option. Instead all we have had is smoke, mirrors and probably to come, legal issues.

JD, let's get some things straight.JeffDunne wrote:Careful AOK, I used the term "handbag" once and got spammed by a group of my friendly stalkers.
I presume those hypocrites will let it slide this time though.
I am not a spammer
I am not a group
I am not a stalker
I am not a hypocrite
And I object to that terminology used by you or anybody else including AOK.
This latest smart-ar$e post of yours is a disgrace and should be withdrawn and/or deleted. IMO it is nothing but a blatant 'cheap shot at me and I would have thought is totally against the rules of this forum?

Such a clever retort!
Got nothing better to do than attack other posters JD?
I agreed to drop the matter after you apologised last time. Did you forget, or was your apology not real?

JD, That is an absolute falsehood, and you know it. You and I had a slanging match over your use of the term 'handbag' and no-one else was involved in that slanging match.JeffDunne wrote:What has that got to do with anything posted in this thread TTT?
MM, I didn't attack you - you attacked me. I made a general comment that you chose (yet again) to take personally. I wonder why?
Now you feign 'mock innocence' after you deliberately targetted me with a 'scurrilous' post that accused me of being a 'spammer', a hypocrite, a member of a gang' and a 'stalker'. I take great personal offense to your post and your pathetic attempts to weasel out of responsibility for what you posted.
As for what this has to do with the tread - absolutely nothing which just makes your personal attack on me even more pathetic.
lol - so true, so true.To the top wrote:I will inflame the situation by saying that it is obvious those presenting their views on here have never read the "Financial Review" or the financial pages of "The Age".
It appears all they read is the sporting section of the "Herald-Sun".
The ignorance is astounding and amusing.
However it is a bit like the Federal Election, even the ignorant, the deluded and paranoid still get a vote.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
