Official Cronulla Sharks Board + Management

[Shark]

They're hiding under the bed, Benny. Really.

 

[ben]

pffffft

 

[Frenzy]

What legal predicament is the board in relating to drugs? There were signs that we were at the start of this but then ASADA came out and said not interested in the club only the players. Secondly the litigation under way right now are to do with the dismissal by the board of staff, the defamation by Irvine, and the reneging of a deal with a security company all by the board.

Minor correction. The media came out and said ASADA were not interested in clubs. It's an important distinction because ASADA are bound by legislation not to say anything about the process.

The only place to get ASADA updates is here. http://www.asada.gov.au/media/organised_crime_and_drugs_in_sport.html

Last one was 20th March and it says ............ nothing

Phil Rothfield EXCLUSIVE
From: The Daily Telegraph
April 03, 2013 12:00AM

Former chairman Damian Irvine refused to appoint a chief executive for three years. The move to appoint Noyce was one of a number of recommendations from an internal investigation into management failings in 2011, the period ASADA is now investigating.

The Sharks are experiencing the most unstable period in the club's history. A ticket headed by three-time Olympian Damian Keogh, and backed by former chairman Peter Gow, is challenging the board at the AGM in three weeks.

Once again Buzz uses his paper to push his own agenda.

Isn't Noyce going to be the GM of football?

Talking about kicking DI and the current board in one paragraph then slipping in about Keogh in the next.

 

[fitz]

Isn't Noice going to be the GM of football?

Yep.

You know... the job that Mooney was doing before his employment was discontinued due to his management failings.

Maybe Rothfield's qualms have not been so much that we didn't have someone doing the top job for the Football Club (which we did in Mooney) than the person wasn't as high-profile as he wishes.

Who knows?

I'm getting a bit tired of Rothfield's shenanigans.

I agree 100% and had something to say about that the other day.

From Rothfield as above:

Did the report name him specifically?

Well said

Just on the whole "outsourcing" thing...

I see it as crucial that the investigation was done with a level of professional separation.

How could an investigation done by Board members ever be acted upon in terms of wrongful dismissal?

Personally, I see the engagement of an external professional with specialised and relevant expertise as a bit of a master-stroke of corporate governance and the Board at the time should be applauded for that decision - not derided.

It's called transparency, independence and an avoidance of conflict of interest at all times.

The NRL's integrity unit was set up for similar reasons. Professional distance and separation of authority and delegation is paramount for it to be effective.

You wouldn't get an in-house person to audit the books or go to a tyre fitter to get your transmission fixed.

I mean imagine if the Police were responsible for investigating the Police...

Oh wait...

This.

I really can't understand the hoo-ha about this.

If you are in trouble with the law, do you try to bumble your way through representing yourself, or do you get a prefessional criminal lawyer to represent you?

This is clearly a specialised area which requires specialised knowledge and experience. it would be completely daft for the board to go it alone.

It's a pretty logical choice to me.

One of the posters on LU (Spider, not sure of his involvement or contact to the club, if any) has posted "the debt still isn't being serviced, hence blowing from $3m to $3.9m in quick fashion". Does anyone know anything about this or can we put it to bed. I know what Cullen said to the media, but he may be telling the NRL a different story.

Spider is a former employee. Generally knows his stuff. But a former employee. Don't know the circumstances surrounding his departure, so I don't k now if there's any anti-club, anti-management or anti-board sentiment there.
