Zorba's interests queried

MANLY District club deputy chairman Bob Stevenson has questioned the logic behind Peter "Zorba" Peters now sitting on three boards.
Stevenson says it presents a clear conflict of interest.
Like many people, Stevenson was stunned to learn of Peters' appointment after Rick Penn stood down.
"The first I heard about it was early yesterday when I read a few forums online," he told the Manly Daily.
"I attended a meeting with Peter on Wednesday night and he never mentioned a thing. I also noticed Peter was quoted saying he will represent the interests of players and supporters.
"It (Peters' appointment) sets a dangerous precedent, Bob Reilly stood down (from the Leagues Club board) as he felt he was wearing too many (club) hats and now he (Peters) has three on."
Stevenson's issue is control, fearing the club could be headed down a dangerous path.
"As a fan I am very grateful to the Penn family, Quantum and Kaspersky for their contribution to the club," he said.
"What I don't want to see eventually is a one owner model similar to (Premier League) soccer teams in the United Kingdom.
"If we end up with a single owner, the club's future could be fraught with danger."
