There's so much I could say...

About time Collo came out with a statement letting us know the REAL situation at the club. I'm afraid, this doesn't happen often enough.

I think our PR staff should be cleaned out as they've been there too long and are reactive rather than proactive - this includes I.Coutts.

Yeah, I think one is named Synbad ...

When Couttsy is allowed of the leash he can write some pretty good stuff, but I think his hands are tied most of the time.

Its time our Board/Senior Administration went on the front foot.

Yes we have a plan that nobody seems to knows any of the details of except the board ....

Funny how these kinds of statements have come out just before the AGM

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the AGM. Hopefully we'll get a detailed report from a TC'er

a nothing article - no details provided and given the track record could be considered all fluff

Why not let all of us in on your plan Ian?

I'm sure you'll get a lot more passengers on the journey if you're open about what's install.

If it is part of a three year plan to post such huge losses then I want to know what the rest of the plan is.

Dear Mr Collins AM,

Recently the club held a press conference which was chaired by yourself and the CEO of the CFC to announce the financial results for the previous year. You and the CEO had the opportunity to state the results and then put a positive spin on the future of the club.

For whatever reason, you and the CEO decided to give to media more ammunition than the Australian Wheat Board gave to Saddam Hussien, they well and truly laid the boots into the club.

Since then we have seen the club back pedal and try and put out as many positve messages it can possibly release. I thank you for your service to the club during a difficult period but it is time you moved on and we appoint a candidate who can direct and lead the club in a new phase of its life.

Fair point.

As for blueslander - you'd assume they would have anticipated an income loss for the Social Club when they shifted grounds.
