Crows Board Changes - Members dudded again?

[Jars458]

Read an article yesterday that says a KPMG independent review of the board had reccomended the board be reduced to 7 to 9 with UP to 2 member representatives. The board has now been reduced to 7 and there will be no member represnetative in 2014. We apparantly are getting a new constitution or in fact may already have one.

I guess there was no consultation with members. Par for the course. When is the members meeting this year? I don't recall being told about that yet.

 

[Allefgib]

Do you mean the AGM?

 

[Deaneus!]

I'm a bit shocked the review said less board members and we agreed. Less jobs for the boys than usual, huh?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Maybe we'll just get rid of the women

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Maybe we'll just get rid of the women

The number of Women on the board were halved...

I have no issue reducing the board members from 9 to 7 as a better number to run effectively.

Whether the members get proper representation is completely another matter!

Unless those two were the ones that opposed Trigg...

 

[mattymac]

Makes you proud to be a part of it

 

[Captain Poopybum]

Trigg for Wayne Jackson would have been fair.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

The most surprising thing about this is that people are surprised.

 

[Captain Poopybum]

Surprised, no. Upset, no. Apathetic about the situation with what is happening in Australia on a broader spectrum, yes.

The AFC sent out a letter recently outlining these changes, the most concerning thing in there was that the 2 "member representative" board members for 2014 are the 2 current Board members whose term expires next year as the AFC thought it would be easier than going to a member election. Effectively the member reps are chosen by the board...transparency the AFC way!!!

Without Triggy's shrewd financial manoeuvring it would have been far worse. Imagine if we'd paid our full salary cap for instance? Or landed our recruiting targets? Could have been a real disaster.

 

[mattymac]

So how many member reps will ultimately be on this board of 7? Will it stay at 2? (if/when they actually allow 2)

 

[spenze]

Oh that is just coincidence that two members voted for Trigg to be sacked...he wasn't...and then they reduce the board from 9 to seven so that two board members can be moved on

1.6 million loss. No scrutiny from the members. I don't think I got the letter about the AGM. The club takes its members for granted Its appalling.

You are correct however it seems to me that they will go wiht 7 so as not to have ot have members reps. Its pitiful. The old argument that why do you need reps when the board is doing such a good job is clearly no longer valid (it never was in fact).

I got the letter, was sent to Gold and Captain's Club members

May have missed it in the move. I must say that its still short notice and this time of year is a shocking time for a meeting and I have no doubt its deliberate.

agree

I doubt less notice would even be legal

 

[OzSparrow]

What the hell would a bunch of accountants know about the proper Board composition of a football club?

How much did the AFC pay to receive their tomes of wisdom? w***ers!

 

[OzSparrow]

These 2 clowns are single-handedly sinking this club.

Bill and Ben the flowerpot men could do a better job!
