Did Rod really say this? Did he really refer to how well Geelong has done because they kept their coach?Oh When the Saints wrote:Rod: "Look at Geelong - they went for stability, they kept Bomber and the kept the board, and now they are playing for a flag".
fat chance of that Dan Warna. The baying mob smells blood and will do anything to insult and disrespect Rod Butters and the efforts he has put in on behalf of them.Dan Warna wrote:i would rather have folks be more appreciative of what RB has done for st kilda
he'll probably lose the election be it in October or November however he has led us to financial success, and given us a crack at the flag for a few years.
IMO the club is a better place now than when he arrived.
he is acting poorly now, however a bit of respect
its not like he's the enemy, he's one of ours IMO.
perhaps, perhaps not, RB + GT and everyone else has said what the said and moved on. If david friend was still at st kilda, if RB never split from his wife, etc etc etc. no use looking backwards and what ifs.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:lets face it if GT hadnt been sacked RB would be safe today?
people forget that RB, GT amongst others played for st kilda themselves once. Danny Frawley was a much loved legend of st kilda when he retired, now many youngsters just know him as a failed richmond coach and a slow speaking but pleasant comentator from TV, they forget the adulation he had. GT knows the love for burke is still strongst_Trav_ofWA wrote:
RB has said he wants burkey and thommo on board regardless of who wins as a ploy to get the fans who are only voting for SFF cause burkie and AT are on it. if it becomes a choice between Westaway and RB he at least stands a chance but against Burkie and Thommo he knows he doesnt so by taking them out by saying they will be on the board who ever wins makes it a RB vs Westaway fight for power and lets face it how many of those proxies were sent with westaways name ticked and not Burkies ???
?
perhaps but SFF to some degree ambushed him.st_Trav_ofWA wrote: RB is clutching at straws but serioulsy did anyone expect anything less then him to fight this to the death ?
On what facts do you base this assumption?Oh When the Saints wrote:And most of it was sheer luck.Dan Warna wrote:actually I believe his personel management business had a 50m turnover.
RB is not a stupid man.
Understands very little himself about business principles ... but that's alright as long as he surrounds himself with people who do.

As I have read he built a successful business and sold out. Much the same as Packer selling to Bond (and then buying back again at a fraction of the original price).
If GT wasn't sacked, then RB wouldn't have spent the following 3 months embarrassing the club publicly.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:
if GT was not fired then the greater population of saints fans would not have had the grudge on RB he would of still prob lost cause ite burkey and thommo...... and some guy named westaway

I've heard his father was involved in something else, but I'm confident you'll find his did indeed inherit a lot of money/investments.rodgerfox wrote:You may well be right.Joffa Burns wrote:I thought his father was involved in Property development!rodgerfox wrote:I thought he inherited the business.To the top wrote:

It was just what I heard.
He started his business from nothing. He didnt inherit money to start the business but lets knock RB anyway we can.saintspremiers wrote:I've heard his father was involved in something else, but I'm confident you'll find his did indeed inherit a lot of money/investments.rodgerfox wrote:You may well be right.Joffa Burns wrote:I thought his father was involved in Property development!rodgerfox wrote:I thought he inherited the business.To the top wrote:

actually did have a look at gregorys transport, and googled most of other directors as well.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:thats my point this whole challange has become a popularity contest and RB is losing it big time cause as you said most ppl dont know RB played for the saints and most ppl think of NB and see a club legend .. but his efforts on the feild dont account for him being a good board member
if GT was not fired then the greater population of saints fans would not have had the grudge on RB he would of still prob lost cause ite burkey and thommo...... and some guy named westaway
my point is the popular choice isnt always the right choice

You are always right aren't you?
I'm just saying what I've heard.
it was from someone very close to RB/GT/St.Kilda etc, but it may be off the mark a little - I didn't here anything from the horses mouth.......I wasn't intended to knock RB on this post (sure I have on plenty of others!), just passing on info.....cheers....plugger66 wrote:saintspremiers wrote:whatever plugger.plugger66 wrote:He started his business from nothing.
