Lee & JP finally lose the confidence of the Board??

[tony soprano]

My issue is we chop and change direction constantly and the frequent operational errors we make.

That is why I want a review to allow the club to fix the problems and better support the football department.

We get that, but your advocating what you are trying to prevent which doesn't make sense.

 

[cochise]

Do they still fund our Campbelltown juniors?

I'm not sure how much support they provide.

 

[tony soprano]

You're a fan, not a customer.
We're not making Rice Bubbles and you're commenting on the taste.
As a fan I have zero idea how to run a successful football club, neither do you.
All either of us could contribute is the one time at band camp when Lee was mean.

When you want to cure a disease you ask for the input of scientists and Doctors. You don't ask the cleaning lady for her opinion.

Nailed it

 

[cochise]

We get that, but your advocating what you are trying to prevent which doesn't make sense.

I'm advocating to do a review and determine what problems exist in our club that prevent us from setting and maintaining a consistent direction and what is causing the continual operational errors.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Wests Campbelltown? Is a seperate entity with its own board and constitution. Was originally part of Wests Ashfield but they made it independent back in about 87 I believe.

No, Wests Ashfield bought Campbelltown Sports Club and rebadged it Wests when the club move there in 87. They owned 25% of Wests tigers but pulled out when WA and Balmain voted together to pretty much withdraw from Campbelltown.
Wests Campbo fund our juniors in the south West.

We have members all over the place saying they won't be renewing, there is a major disconnect between the club and the fanbase. There are operational issues that impact fans occurring on a frequent basis.

Those opinions and experiences should be sought when conducting a review, it's best practice to include all stakeholders in a process like this.

Now would they be given as much weight as employees and people who deal with the club in a professional manner? No they shouldn't but those opinions should still be investigated.

This doesn't address his issue that he saying you guys that did the petition are not qualified to tell the club what to do.

Wests Campbelltown are now a seperate entity and have no link to Wests Ashfield.

Calling for a review is asking for them to get people qualified to undertake a review to determine what is wrong.

 

[innsaneink]

Well it wasn’t the board or CEO but they still get the blame.

Couldnt be the true, genuine supporters like yourself either...that only leaves....

That's correct. They pulled out all together.

 

[cochise]

That's correct. They pulled out all together.

That was the point I was poorly trying to make lol

Still missing the point that you are not qualified to make that call that doing a review is the best thing for the club at this moment and what impact the review will have on the current football department.

Anyway agree to disagree.

What if their findings aren't in general alignment with the changes you and Joel would like to see?

 

[innsaneink]

I've been an obsessive fan since I was a little kid, so having next year stolen for no other reason than self promotion probably does have me a bit worked up.
Some of us don't have that many next year's left to be able to afford having them stolen.

I know all about your last sentence...I hope its an off the cuff comment

No but surely the owners that agreed are?

I will accept the recommendations of the review.

 

[tony soprano]

I'm not sure how much support they provide.

That's the thing about Campbelltown, people want WT to invest in Campbelltown. But Campbelltown, (community, council, Leagues Club, invest little to the Tigers.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

I will accept the recommendations of the review.

This is something I'm wondered but thanks for clarification.

 

[tony soprano]

not anymore there isnt. There is only one owner. Only one board member has anything to do with Balmain and a few years ago he was listed as an "independent" member. The Wests v Balmain thing is a figment of some fans imaginations and is not an issue at board level.

Wests asfield also have the majority votes on WT board. So the balmain involvement seems redundant.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

I will accept the recommendations of the review.

See, this may or may not yield positive results on the field but as you can probably gather from some of the more casual posters who seem to endlessly tool the club my concern is that it's already disruptive because you mobilised sections of the media with a gripe against the club........for the petitions publicity.

Problem is now its disruptive during a period of prospective recruitment and and these media people could continue to attack the club during and post review.

Are you still in touch with the media ?

It would have been better to leave them out of it and try with the club.
