You don't want bad publicity at the top of a club, especially over personal issues, but also you don't want insipid leadership under the guise of "stability". We are as much a joke now as we were under the final days of Butters and the Footy First push

Unfortunately, this is absolutely spot on.


"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

A more accurate assessment of where we are at and what we need to do has not been written this year.
Sadly it would appear we are bereft of outside influential people with the necessary time and connections to fetch change
We really are in trouble and at risk
I thought you said that Lethlean was going over Matt’s head and talking directly to Gill.

Not quite what I’ve heard
Lethlean has direct links elsewhere I suspect if it’s as bad as it looks then the necessary changes can happen

Sounds kinda contradictory.

I don’t think there’s any doubt he’ll chat to Gill...
But recent ITKs suggest Richo out of his scope..
Anyhoo no one really knows so we’ll see
What’s news down at Centrelink?

SS.net should take over the board and leadership positions.
