The new board are all about moving forward and there's no way they'd entertain this scenario
About as much chance of the above scenario as Paris Hilton joining the nunnery
The biggest worry is that the GT bone monkey crew on here would find this to be a good thing, if it were true, which it is not
Butterss and Thomas most likely IMHO cost us a premiership, while using the football club as their own personal plaything
At least Butterss improved our financial position which is more than can be said for the parasite currently suing the club
P.S If only I could post some inside info I've recieved recently, to at least attempt to educate the know nothing, nuffy, numbnut, disenfranchised malcontents with their GT inflatable's, still stuck in a time warp living in a Thomas in wonderland fairytale, in a gold fish bowl half full of their own bathwater, but as much as I 'd like to,regrettably I can't
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
This is the funniest post I have ever readZippy wrote:Word from a very good source is that a mutually agreeable outcome has been agreed. Apparently:
- GT will drop his claims for any moneys
- In return, St Kilda will re-hire him in a management role
- his new salary will be much lower than as a head coach, but still in excess of the additional money he's currently claiming: this is good value for the club because they also get his services.
- GT's new role will be in overall co-ordination of the football department, and will provide specific oversight of several key areas, including player development, training services, and facilities management.
- he will provide some mentoring and advice to Ross Lyon, but it's been made clear that Lyon is still the head coach, and Lyon still has the final say on tactics etc.
cheers,
Perhaps you should just stick to the facts? RB was good for the club , no doubt...but he never put in one cent himself except at a few auctions. Ask him or any of the directors who were on during his time. The truth is that for many years , he was great for the club, but on occasion he used the club towards the end to look after himself and his mates ,which as a lifelong member I think was really wrong. 1. such as Sheldon's appointment after sheldon lost his job at nylex; ;2. his $30000 cash he told the CEO to pay casey (10000 per month for one day per week of "consulting",) that was never disclosed or approved by the board, (again- ask any director with access to the minutes, or ask the CEO- rather than choosing to ignore the facts) which was a deal that just happenned to coincide with Casey losing his job at Nylex, and having no cash flow while he and Rod were getting their well publicised Transition Group together. 3. And it's common knowledge now that Butterss and Casey's invovlement in the company Concept sports ( casey now ceo and butterss shareholder), had been producing all the clubs attire in China for Skins- again, to the annoyance of the new board- without any disclosure to the previous board. There is talk of legal action . Talk about conflicts of interest and breach of directors duties.
Let's acknowledge what he did for the club, and he did a lot ,but not let history and truth go out the window and create an image of him that is far from the truth. And before you start suggesting he paid out Blight, that again is not true. Ask a director, or the ceo at the time. Ask Thomas. They will tell you. It's a myth . I am not sure what your conection is to him, but you have tried pushing this line a few times on this site. Let's simply either stop discussing him at all, or if you want to talk about history, stick to the facts.
I for one think he should be remembered for being the right guy to turn around the club, and give heaps of time , thought, energy and committment for 8 hardworking years, that brought modern thinking, cleared the debt and set up the club for the future. It's a shame that his last year was starting to look a bit like him treating it as his private company, not as one owned by us , the members. Lets remember that he was tipped out in a landslide, and it was not because people loved what he was doing for the club at the end.
Personally I am glad that BOTH Thomas and Butterss are gone AND I DO NOT want either of them back in any shape, form or capacitygazrat wrote:

involvement................perhaps Thomas can buy a membership and that will give him involvement, as much involvement as I'd want to seegazrat wrote:

Nowhere in the Clubs accounts was the $1,000,000 that was paid to Blight to end his contract ever brought to account. So if the Club didn't pay him then he was paid out privately.
I am told that 2 people each paid half. One was RB the other another Board member. IF your assertion is correct then who paid the $500,000 that you claim GT, the CEO of the time or a Director csay RB didn't pay?

up the disrespect level with each rant that you deliver ....and then cry a river about being 'abused'
**** you sh!t for brains .....
don't be telling me what i know , when you have no idea jack
i'll tell you what i know .....i couldn't give a rats arse about gt being back at our club or not
if it works out that he was back ...surely it would be because those in charge deemed him 'useful' towards the job at hand ....which is winning a preimership ( thankfully u r not in charge of anything , not even your own reality it seems )
if he's not useful to the club , he won't be back
its not hard .....might be too simple for you , but its not hard
now ...talking about useful
how useful is your ongoing 'little spat with the past '......to helping the st kfc you cork ?
dont lay your disrespect onto my life , thankyou...........tolerance and compassion is not a sign of weakness , but a sign of strength
you have none of either
