What questions are you going to ask at the AGM?

[satyricon 267]

This topic has still got legs

AGM

MFC is a footy club

The players are having a good pre season

The coach has a plan

We made a profit last year

2013 is a new season

What is left to ask, notice the questions that are going to be asked have dried up, as they do at the AGM, no keyboard to hide behind

And as far as I can recollect been to the microphone 3 times myself in the last couple of years, not to raise a question but to thank the Club

Is that meant to be a joke?

No.

They perform the same role, to my knowledge, although they may have slightly different titles.

Thats the crux of the matter!

The question i would ask is why was CS appointed for another 3yrs when the clubs under serious investigation, maybe a 12 month contract would seem more reasonable.

Because he does a very good job now that he is not a part of the FD....

What happened when he was part of the FD ?

When was Schwab part of the footy department?

He was nearly the coach at one stage LOL.

Can we get off the CS debate.....Our club is being run well...

We are debt free whereas the top clubs are still in debt

Carlton......$5 mil in debt

Coll...........$3 mil in debt

Western bulldogs...........4 to $5 mil in debt

Don't get me started on the interstate clubs like Pt Adel....Suns....Giants....Bris

We now have a properly funded FD

We posted a profit in the year from hell

But we need a CEO who runs things properly????.....

People might not like him personally....But who cares....He is doing his job...

I agree with what you say, hes a tremendous bean counter, but as for the club running smoothly you obviously live on Mars or have a brain impairment.

[Bossdog 2,002]

In the past year...the club couldn't have run better internally........It's the external muck that is the problem....Are you part of that??

The CEO's job is to have the beans to count and manage....A Task he has done very well....You even say that yourself....

Yeah you're right, CS obviously killed Jimmy, attacked Jurrah's cousin, signed Energy Watch because of their CEO's racist views, told porky pies about Davey and Neeld, and to top it all off fed Brock McLean a slab of VB before going on tele.... FFS.

[Satyriconhome 10,822]

• CS was part of the team who persuaded a highly respected European Car Maker who wanted a presence in Austrlalia to use MFC as one of its vehicles pun intended......how many of the keyboard heroes on here could do the same........I have come out from behind Satyricon a couple of times when posters have p***** me off...if u are going to criticise a bloody good CEO let's hear about your achievements....me, not interested in promotion or a high position, the politics take over....so no idea what it takes to be a CEO and don't want to CS for me is doing a great job

Simple Simon could see the clubs not running smoothly, the question i pose to you is, are you Simon. FFS.

I might go this year. Is the bar open on the night?

[Biffen 12,940]

Gotcha. Well both those things are dealt with from an MFC point of view now I guess, so the only thing I see challenging our income would be the effect the tanking affair has on both sponsorship and legal costs, and of course our commercially difficult draw. IMO we are better placed this year financially (barring unforseen mishaps), depending on onfield results. Would think it's a bit harsh to say we employ "morons" seeing as though those 2 issues were pretty extraordinary and not the fault of the MFC directly, and especially seeing how quickly we were able to get new sponsors on board.

Cam has handled our sh!tstorms pretty damn well-on which we agree!

Due to the nature of marketing, we are a very worthy club to sponsor.

We are a walking headline .We even have a daily column in The Age.

I think we have a more organised outfit this year.

But it takes an extra simple person to think that any of the crazy things that happened last year were the fault of CS.

Not too good at making any of your points sound reasonable buddy.

There's a circle of trust.

Neeld in the new chief Focker.

We need to explain it diagramaticly to some .

What about whats happening now, you know the good news in the papers everyday, the glowing endorsements from the Age and Sun, you would have to be a twit to think this clubs running smoothly, were the laughing stock of Victoria, and the buck stops with the CEO who im tipping wont have a job in 3 months time.

Laughing stock?....gee you take the footy seriously don't you......you must be very thin skinned.....

The club is running smoothly, memberships out on time, website updated with new stories each day, sponsors locked and loaded for 2013, only 3 still on restricted training, AGM and Family Day organised......................beat ups in the newspapers everyday, got a Bookmaker to make a comment today in the AGE, now there is a person with no vested interests

I think there are supporters from at least another 5 clubs hoping that we don't take the lid of the can of worms that is 'tanking' completely

Your heads that deep in the sand you cant breathe.Theres supporters from 5 other clubs are laughing at us.

As I said you must be very thin skinned......I don't really care what other supporters/people think, only what I do, but you are entitled to not announce publicly that you are an MFC supporter, my desk in work is covered in Red and Blue but nobody says anything coz they know I don't care...

Mate, this is crazy talk. What is happening in the papers at the moment has absolutely nothing to do with how smoothly or otherwise the club is currently running. It is the outcome of events which happened years ago.

In fact, to counter your argument, I'd say the way this has been handled by the club shows that it is running incredibly smoothly, compared to previous times.

Since taking over the Bentleigh Club and its Blalance Sheet we are now in debt (about $1.9M from memory).
