Official Cronulla Sharks Board + Management

[Shark]

Doubt it, we just wouldn't have had a club.

Yep. Or the franchise would now be based in Perth or Gosford.

If these Unity people are the passionate Sharks fans they claim, why are none of their companies listed as sponsors on the Sharks site?

Val Margan, TAL Insurance, Boost Mobile, Blue Ocean Equities, Accor. All big businesses yet none are significant sponsors. Money where the mouth is??

Good point mate

To many De La's in there for my liking,

Who else can we vote for ?

An excellant post Weapon.

Accor are one of the worst performing hotel groups in Australia. Their buildings are run-down and many require massive capital investment due to below-par maintenance spend over the past ten years.

Check out Novotel Brighton on Trip Advisor to see what I mean. No way should someone responsible for that sort of poor performance be anywhere near our board.

 

[Garbs]

So when's the how-to-vote card for reasonable, responsible Sharks fans come out?

The way I see it, there's a need for continuity from SOME of the current board members. Be good to get some of the best business minds from the rest in there too. Definitely no De La Salle reps though. And while I love all the work that Damo did during his tenure, I think a bit of time away is probably necessary.

Snowden - thanks. Does anyone have a list with profiles of each person ? All I keep seeing is this unity group...what about others?

OLYMPIAN Damian Keogh's bid to become Cronulla chairman has hit an eligibility hurdle as neither he nor six other members of the nine-man Sharks Unity ticket are football club members. Sin Bin understands the high-profile group were informed of the ineligibility problems on Thursday and are now expected to dump a number of candidates as five of the nine directors on the Cronulla board must be football club members. As a result, Dino Mezzatesta, an executive with the Accor hotel group, has been nominated to stand for Sharks Unity against chairman Glenn Coleman for the position but the odds also appear to be against him as the most seats the group could win is six, including all four leagues club seats. With nominations for the election already closed, the group are expected to try to form an alliance with other candidates, who include former Sharks stars Mark McGaw and Dane Sorenson.

Deadset joke.

Mazzatella is the LAST member of that group who should be on the board, let alone Chair.

We need to pull out all stops to get Coleman elected.

Also, in the spirit of 'unity', why wouldn't this group approach the likes of Craig Douglas?

I think a couple of the new guys would be good with some of the existing board. I've only had quick scan but I'd like to see Damian Keogh and John Dunphry in there with Douglas and co. Whoever is best qualified to bring in more revenue and business acumen should get the positions as far as iam concerned.

We need to go up a level now. I don't want to see board members working like a CEO doing the day to day stuff.

As for DI, done a great job and basically saved the club but I can't vote for him. The drug drama was a massive stuff up and I think there's too much baggage there now. We got to move forward.

News to hand. Paul McCarthy is not the one that played for the Sharks after playing juniors for De La Salle.

However, the Paul McCarthy who has nominated is also from De La Salle. He played cricket and basketball for De La and from memory played baseball for someone.

Just sayin'.

Thursday 29th or Thursday 22nd I wonder?

The relevance being if they were only told yesterday then I think Mezzatesta is out of luck. I don't think he can nominate for chairman after nominations closed on Monday.

If it was the 22nd they were told then why were they distributing flyers and publishing a website with incorrect information.

The circus is in town

HaHa

So Mezzatesta isn't a footy club member either.

It's not the Star Circus, it's Barnum and Bailey.

I haven't seen the flyer. Was it a HTV card?

 

[fitz]

I haven't got a copy of it.

I know it was put on windscreens in the Club carpark as well as distributed within the ground at the Warriors game.

If anyone has a copy of that flier, can they please scan or photo it and put it up here.
