Given that Sticks is leaving at the end of the year, and won't be replaced, I think this is patently untrue.

Why is that?

Give us reasons why Sticks is needed for another year....

And how the cub would go backwards without Sticks as president.

gee you are a -ve bugger

Good to have you back Synbad, we missed you.

1. Stability

2. So the board can follow through with the plans they have put in place.
If we don't want this, may as well chuck them all out.

Vote Ahmed.
Great creds in every way.
Wants a united board and strong CEO.

He'll sort it out after Sticks retires at the end of 2013....he better!!

Bomba cant make it... didnt buy my membership... in protest on hw the club is run.

Your brother isnt happy with me..

But we should catch up.

Anyway.. my point is.. if Sticks did get the right royal boot the cub wouldnt go backwards without him.

and it might be what the dr ordered re getting him to move away from the club... would be in shame.. but he doesnt seem to understand anything else....

And Joe might just be the George Harris suburban dentist.. and the one of the great 5 Carlton figures of all time.

He wasnt a great CHF for the club.... he was just a dentist... but a ruthless bastard with a vision.

We have this fixation with players thats unhealthy... very idolatrist club we are.

CHF for the club doesnt mean president with a vision..... just means CHF who should have moved away from the club when his CHF days were over.

Elliott turned him into his own Elliottstein.. captain of the century.....??.. joke... John Nicholls anyday....and then used him politicaly.. the rise and rise of Sticks.. equals the fall and fall of the club ... not just cos of Sticks.. but he had a very big hand in our mediocrity and dark years...

People should never forget to remind Sticks of OReilly.. and the salary cap breaches... and thats just one of many things....

And yet.. Sticks can commit all kinds of 'crimes' and he can stay Prez ....

Whats worse is aybody who has spoken to him would know hes not the sharpest tool in the shed..

Is that the best we can do???

Surely not!!.. and yet.. it has been what we have had for a long long time...

Masochists!!!

My point exactly.

Joe - make yourself known to us and we'll take it from there.

No worries mate, we will

Agree about Sticks idolised him as a player but as a prez............

Cant comment on Big Nick as a better skipper as he was before my time

Even though my bro bought his membership he went to bugger all games this year, get your act together next year and buy your membership regardless of any frustrations you may have about the way the club is run off the field

Wait.. you mean to tell me if Sticks is gone there will be no stability at the club??

Please explain how ...

and second what plans ????

Id love to see a disolving of the board and they can all go up again from scratch.

Say 7 directors 1 of which president...

Open to anyone....

Now that id love to see.....

Bomba the first part we shall definitely do... been a while.

But back on Sticks and the board... they did sign Ratts to a 2 year deal even though they were unsure about him and were sounding out coaches the year before.

That decision has cost us some pretty big bux.

But thats not all.. they wernt convinced with Swann and signed him up on a 2 year deal too... so you cant really sack him without paying him out... and funnier is the contract... he is employed till March.. so anyone coming in wastes a year.. why wouldnt they do that contract an October > October contract???

Are you kidding me???

Who the hell runs this club..???

Is laughable...!!!

and yeah Sticks brings us stability... stability to mediocrity.... were a very out of touch club with the progressive nature of competitive sport at an elite level....

Stability makes sense if the Board & President are performing well. Stability is more of the same not what CFC needs at this hour.

Dont know if it has been mentioned, but you do not have to vote for 5 out of 6. You CAN vote for up to five i.e. a minimum of 1. I personally voted for 2 of the candidates.

Flower stability. If you want stability, walk a few hundred meters south-west of Princes Park. You'll find all the stability and serenity there in spades. (You'll also find that spades were actually used to create that stability, but that's another story).

I've decided. I'm voting for Joe (and then I'll send the voteat my own expense, as the club didn't provide a reply paid envelope).


Agree with everything in your post, except for this. I think banks are very reliant on consumer sentiment.

I also voted for Joe. did it online at no expense.
Congratulations on your 17,000th post.

True. A CMO from a retail bank would be a good get. I was thinking more the private equity/merchant banker types (although I would love Fitzy on board obviously, not to address our weakness in brand positioning, but for governance). Apologies for not making myself clear on that score.

Leaving?

Where is he going to exactly???

Do you have any goss on what Sticks will be leaving to?

Define "leaving"

Thanks kezza
