Members Council

[Paw93]

Exactly.

I always prided ourselves on keeping things in-house but once the Penns got involved, they seemed to air our dirty laundry whenever it benefited them.

It’s just normal procedure these days which is really dissapointing. No wonder the GREAT Ken Arthurson is dissolutions these days.

It's more so Zorba than the Penns. Looks like he's on the nose with them as well. Hopefully we see the end of his association with the club for good.

Thanks everyone for your comments, whether if you agree or not. I won't say much other than I have spoken with CEO Lyall Gorman today, and we have agreed to a 1-on-1 meeting so we can discuss a few things.

I'm satisfied with the approach Lyall has made, especially considering I can't remember a Manly CEO willing to do this before.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yeah there is a younger guy that fills in for Hadley, maybe in his mid 30's. He is a big guy and a Liberals lover..

Yes, definitely on the ‘hardish’ right.

I have often said to my wife, ‘Gee he’s done well for himself.’ And he has. Both of them.

Good to hear. Hope it goes well.

Well he does have a head shaped like a spark plug.

So does he moonlight as Ron E. Sparx on another station?

Is that 1 on 1 in the ring or the office (demountable)

Good to hear. Hope it goes well and that Levy provides a positive update tomorrow.

One thing I will say about all the negative comments about Lyle and the members council - at least members now have a voice and through the council members like myself and Mitch can get access to the club.

Are we going to change the world and employ Tooves, get Penn to sell, retire off Zorbs and win games - no but it is a start.

My little bit of experience from this is that Lyall and the community/membership team are trying their guts out. Remember it wasn’t that long ago they thought we were all sausage roll eaters.

Sadly some still think we are!!

But I agree it’s a good move forward.

If this goes wrong, I recommend spilling to Neville Glover and Johnny Kolc.

Dont go "starting" stuff around here.

 

[niccipops]

goblin lickers.

 

[wombatgc]

Members fkin council....WTF ?
SERIOUSLY..
What change or improvement/ value could they add to the club? Purely a token gesture by the club to suggest the fans have a way of communicating with the club...Once it was privatised and MWDRLFC was pushed sideways, we became customers not fans....Good luck to anyone involved who thinks they can effect a change.

I vote for Sam Cooke.

I still honestly feel Barrett wasn't given the appropriate opportunity to succeed due to Penn's procrastination (and resistance to invest), and Gorman's inability to achieve result, rather than bragging about the potential of achieving it.

Seriously, since Gorman's been herew:

X We are still at the same point Brooky Oval wise
X Weve lost a plethora of players, gained nominal
X Salary Cap issue still going 6 months later
X Coach has quit due to poor environment
X In fighting is still rampant (as is bullying)
X Massive alcohol and party culture at the club
X Scandal after scandal
X No-one at the club seems on the same page
X Still terrible membership / fan communication
X Our reputation is at the club's lowest point
X Gorman's being known as The Phantom
X Players and Barrett forced to front media
X Sex Tapes
X Coaching punching on
X Coaches quitting from being bullied
X Worst amount of losses ever as a club
X Players constantly being rumoured to leave
X Strip Clubs
X Players punching on
X Players called out publicly
X Penn & others airing dirty laundry
X Zorba calling members/fans names
X Dan Ferris threatening punch on with members
X Shocking press around tangible resources
X Players having to answer media about debacle
X DCE losing it at a post match presser
X Green / Tom Wright releases
X No recruitment / list manager
X Looked terribly disinterested and unfit as team
X Cartwright probably coach going forward
X Lowest crowd numbers in decades
X Wayne Cousins blocking long term fans
X Players laughing after massive losses
X Centre of Excellence still a pipe dream
X No Leagues club or alternative
X Issues with so many out of area juniors
X Members councillors sacked (more bullying)
X Lost Siebold, W. Peters & NYC coach (Lamb)
X Football Manager quit for the Bulldogs

I literally could go on.

I appreciate you saying how well he's doing mate. I just honestly don't care about lip service. Results. Communication and results.

Just heard Greenturd has referred this matter to the integrity unit.

Apparently this incident is a blight on the NRL!! As a result of the urgency to fully investigate this matter the integrity unit has had to immediately drop investigations into the South Sydney social media incident, the Sharks and Parramatta salary cap breaches and the Bulldogs Mad Monday shenanigans.

Manly are preparing for a massive 7 figure fine and loss of competition point in 2019.

That's good. At least he is confident that he we will get some points to lose.

 

[Mitch]

For anyone interested I just heard Levy mention on radio that Gorman has reached out to Cam for a one on one chat, praising him for getting onto it straight away.

No offense but need a fact check on some of these eg coaches punching on was before Lyall started and it is good to hear Barrett being absolved of blame for what happened this season.

Each to their own but do you want Joke Kelly and the school teacher back? Cleaning up their mess wouldn’t be easy

All of the above are 100% attributable to the Team's on field results

Gorman didn't appoint a rookie coach, it was Bozo's bright idea

Baz was sadly promoted above his skill level.
Then chose to confide in an opposition official in Gus, who fed Baz's resentments with Manly 😕
