So you've been telling me for the past three years. ;)

I remain sceptical any challenge will get up. Unless the particpants are twice removed from any of the problems of the past then I doubt they will be successful. The AFL simply won't allow it to happen.

She targets Carlton at any opportunity she gets and it is getting beyond a joke.
Would you be a happy camper if she targeted your club? If only some of the facts were reported and the rest was made up as she went along?

Didn't think so....

She has had plenty of opportunities lately.

No, but in reality they probably need to be.

Even if the people coming in are respected business leaders within the community?

Not at all.

The AFL like the control the money gives them. They'd prefer to spend a mill or two (or three or ...) and have control than have some rogue element come in with dollars but undermine the AFL's position.

Surely one less club with their hand out would be a good result for the AFL?

Any updates?

4 of the current directors are in favour of the suggested changes which includes Smorgon stepping down as president. If the 5th director agrees then Smorgon will be pressured to resign.

If the 5th Director is not in favour then Smorgon will be approached with a motion for a spill due to a split board.

I suspect we will hear something by Monday or Tuesday (from what I hear). Smorgon will be approached on Friday.

Now even though Harold Mitchell has declined the opportunity to be a director he is prepared to financially assist the club if changes are made, as is another powerful business man that we all know.

^^^^ So does this mean that the "other" bloke does not have to contribute as much as we first though BT?

HBF the other bloke will still contribute significantly but Harold Mitchell is also prepared to put in some big bucks. Essentially there will be quite a bit of money come into the club.

I think we may hear that the proposed group/revised board may hold an information session for supporters so they can present the business plan and demonstrate how they will eliminate the financial issues currently faced.

Hopefully will hear more details in the next few days.
 
I wish they'd get a move on - I need some new material. ;)

So Blue Thunder are we talking about minor changes to the existing board and a new president, or are we talking a major revamp of the board and wholesale replacements in the club's administration?

It would be a significant change in the board structure as there would be 4 possibly 5 new additions, should know more by Monday so dont want to put names out there until I have had more concrete information.

I can assure you though that if there are changes to the board there will be changes with the CEO. Greg Lee may have someone waiting in the wings.....

This is what many of us doubters have been crying out for. Instead of hearing rumours & whispers, I as a member want to know what these people have planned for my club. I need full details, not the 'trust me' scenario we have had so far. If these people are going to make my club strong again, I'm all ears. But I need hard facts. In my mind, what potentially lies ahead is no different to a State/Federal election campaign. I look forward to receiving masses of information in the post in the very near future telling me why these people are the way to go.

This could be the best off-field news that the Carlton Footy Club have had in quite some time. I must BT, that I really appreciate you being honest and upfront about what you know about the Carlton Footy Club.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not against change, not against a new ticket in any way. If the debt is to be erased, I have always been an advocate for the current board to fall on their swords.

I just want openness and honesty and no dirty smear campaigns. Show up the positives of the new ticket, not the negatives of the current administration. I'd much rather vote for someone than against someone else.

This latest information is most welcome.

No worries HBF, whilst I appreciate that there are some on this board that would not want the information publicised (and I can certainly understand there concerns) I think it is important to inform the supporters of some of the things happening behind the scenes, escpecially during lean times like the past few years.

If this information is not known by the supporters there would be wonderment amongst us all that the club with so many influential people supporting it, yet are doing nothing to change things. Well at least we all know this is not the case.

Lets see how the discussions with Smorgon go, I am hoping that he can see that a change like this is perhaps in the best interests of the club and therefore facilitates a smooth transition. Whatever happens the board of directors must be united and supportive of each other with a plan that can take this club forward.

Muji I appreciate that this would be of interest however let me say that if everyone who posted information on this board disclosed who they were or how they came by the information then that would compromise the position of the individual, and hence further information.
 
just finished reading this post i know it's a bit late and it took me ages.

i was taken on a roller coaster ride of emotion and passion for the CFC. This is what i like to see and hear and read. We are all one and it's time we all unite for the good of the club.

Lets hope BT is right, that positive change is on the way.

and when it comes stick it up Carro and the rest of the footy world by doing all we can to support this great club.

in the words of the great man "we are Carlton ******** the rest"
