What is wrong with showing someone loyalty

Pratt has only 1 vote amongst 12 and clearly he can be outvoted. The President gets to run the Board Meeting and might have a casting vote, but that's about it.

Technically your are right.

just goes to show about some people....

Why is it that people confuse the use of analogy with support/promotion of evil.

Dead set this thread is like the Jehovah scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

weak as piss some of you. I'm ashamed to be a Carlton supporter this week....

Week as piss//

At least the players and coach are trying, cheap shots from the stands are worth nothing..


WEAK AS PISS!

I am so over you flower/

I'm going to get shot down for this.

After Smorgon was dumped by the members, the next to go has to be Kernahan. The fact that he has so much influence at board level is becoming a liability. One could argue that without Kernahan and Gleeson, this Pagan/Mitchell situation would not have occurred.

It is clear that person friendships and deals for mates are clouding the judgment ofsome board members at the club and having deleterious effects on the professionalism and administrative areas of the Club.

Here is Kernahan on one hand being part of the Board that told Pagan that Elshaug and Mulkearns had to go and then he's on the radio a couple of months later telling us that they shouldn't have been sacked.

Quite seriously, if it wasn't for the feats that Kernahan accomplished in his 258 games with the Club, we and the members would view his performance as ordinary and even disappointing.

Kernahan is now the only common factor between the demise of the Club since 2002 and the current workings of the Club and the lack of professionalism that in some areas still ravages the Club.

As Chair of the Match Committee and now V-P, he is compromised.

I know it's a hard decision, but it has to be done. I hope Pratt can see that Kernahan is now a major liability on the Club.

"I don't know if it was my place to apologise, but I felt I needed to say something on behalf of the board and the way we behaved and handled our job when what our job was was to quietly support the footy team. But it was a disaster.

give it a rest
sticks in his position as director oversees the footbll department.
if he wasn't on the match commitee, he would still be overseeing the match commitee.
drawing paralels with kernahan and hitler is just LOL

I'm very happy to keep Sticks. If Pagan hadn't done such a poor job over the last 4 years the "Pagan/Mitchell" would not have been an issue. Mitchell's supported for a reason and to use the "mates" thing is very simplistic. They won't sack Mitchell for 2 reasons; 1)Pagan will be lucky to last the season and indicating by the fact Mitchell is being retained ; 2) Mitchell is doing an excellent job. If Pagan's only going to be here for a short term then why get rid of Mitchell. Lets face it, Pagan wouldn't be here if we could pay him out. Remember Mitchell is supported by Pratt as well. We can live with it for a season. Glad to see Sticks/Glesson/Pratt have stuck to their guns and , not bowed to the "useless one's" demands and kept Mitchell. In business you keep the good employees and p1ss of the bad one's.

What part of conflict of interest do you not understand? Do you understand anything about corporate governance. Probably not.

As director he oversees the football department. But when he is part of that football department - that means he is effectively being held accountable - by who? yes...BY HIMSELF!

When does his term run out?
