It takes none to sit back taking potshots without stepping up yourself or providing an alternative.
From my perspective, the club showed enormous courage to embark on a full list rebuild knowing full well it would hurt the bottom line significantly.
They've stuck to the task when there was a lot of pressure to take shortcuts. MLG is a poor media performer but IMO, he's led the best performing board we've had for 20 years. They've put some exception people in some roles including Russell and Liddle.
The club is performing very well off field and they've bought some exceptional young talent into the club and put games into them.
The futures looking bright.
Seriously, WTF are you going to do if they all step down? What do you offer to the members as a replacement?
If not you, who will step up and do better?
Stuff like this really pisses me off. Too many people jump on the bandwagon and want their 5 minutes of fame while the incumbents have been offering their time and money for little reward for years.
What a farce.
I currently sit on a board of an elite level sporting club. (who funnily enough is performing well off field but not so much on it)
It is the most dysfunctional environment i have ever worked in.
Everyone has self interest, everyone thinks they know best, rarely a decision is made easily, the round and round communication and 'discussion' is never ending.
I give Kudos to the current board for our current off field position, it's not easy work.
I'd love to see some alternatives, ideas or presentations from people here who want change and think they can do better.
I sure as hell wouldn't go near it.
