Foundation dinner

[Bonkers 918]

Of course. I won't be seen at the club or have any dealings with the current administration.

So who are you gunning for? What are the issues you'd like to see resolved with the current admin?

From the MFC Twitter "Melbourne has raised $758,901 at its annual Foundation Heroes event at Myer Mural Hall - an outstanding effort by the red and blue faithful".

Well done

He has his reasons rightly or wrongly. He doesn't need to elaborate.

Honestly... Either provide some information, or stay quiet. Stirring like this just adds to the already abundant negativity around here.

Awesome result! So what is this money going to be used for, and how many times can we keep going back to the well?

That's garbage Tweed Pig.

What the hell was the point of saying anything if he was going to say nothing?

He does need to elaborate otherwise should of said nothing.

The negativity is there for a reason.

I'm not going to reveal anything else. Things will come out if G.Lyon does his job and I'd say Schwab will be the first to go.

That's better Dannyz - Now where getting somewhere!

So what has Schwabby done?

I'm sure it is, but why perpetuate it while inferring you know more than we do? Especially on one of the better days the MFC has had for a few weeks.

Just throwing out bait and hoping to get some bites! Here comes another 10+ page thread!

You talking bout the $80,000 desk you mentioned in that thread; I doubt that's true I think it was a report that cost $80,000 that was put under Scwabs desk?

Where in the f*** would you buy an $80,000 desk?

You have a decent point.

Something akin to grandstanding.. look at moi.

I know something you dont..etc etc.

blah blah

fair call OMR

[Bang Bang Bang 5,574]

Sorry to get this thread back on topic, but what was the go with tonight? Were all the players there?

Would seem strange if they were talking about Scully's future while he was there sitting in the audience. How convincing were the claims he would stay?

Thanks for the existing reports too guys! Sounds like a good night for the club.

My information is Schwab purchased a $80,000 desk in 1999. He was then sacked by Gutnick.

lol..the instructions on putting it together would be something else !

[Little Goffy 12,833]

Sigh. I just decided what to do with my tax return. If things don't come together at the Demons, it won't be because I shirked my part.

An $80,000 desk? Did it come with it's own built-in Monica Lewinski?

[Old Man Rivers 326]

Cannot say too much but Schwab's treatment of De La Rue has been terrible. The man came to the club when no one else would and has allowed the club to make exception's with the current deal. Schwab's primary aim is to line his own pockets and is going against what the football club stands for to do this.

This also extends to his treatment of Green, Moloney, Wonnaemirri, Bell, McDonald and Scully. Also the board for not recognising his mistakes and renewing his contract.

That's all. Goodnight.

Some fair allegations in there Dannyz

If true I understand your stance.

Exactly what where the specific treatment issue's with Green, Moloney, Wonna & Scully?

[Dannyz 2,345]

So you bring it up now 12 years later and after donating large sums of money and while he was there, hmmmm. Anyway where did he get the desk I want one?

I was told by someone in the "know" that De la Rue is the type to give cash but then wants to run the club, is that right?

The report you speak of, which too cost $80,000, was that of a consultant who was ultimately disregarded.

I was donating to the Melbourne Football Club, not it's CEO.

No. I think your referring to his complaints regarding the positioning of his companies image on the jumper. MFC broke the contract originally signed with Hankook which stated that Hankook's logo would be the only image represented on the left hand upper side of the jumper. De la Rue eventually let this go.

The figure was actually $800,000.00.

Yep and made it very clear, whilst wishing the club all the best and good luck with a new sponser, he wouldn't have anything more to do with the club (i assume from a corporate point of view) whilst the current administration was in place. I reckon SS Schwabb will quietly sail into the sunset over summer and that will be the last we will see of him in footy. Probably take deck hand connoly with him
