What an absolute idiot!
For the good of the CLub he should just quit now!
Another self-serving, ego driven, smarmy, spivvy, load of bs from yesterday's man Rod Buttar$e.

Even though he actually hasn't been on yet, I thought I'd get in first with the obligatory critique of what he is going to say.

LOL - nice preemptive strike.

Can anyone give us the lowdown on the interview?

Does it really matter?
Everyone seems to have already made their mind up and I get the feeling that nothing RB could say would make any difference.

He is gone, it is just a question of when he is actually 'removed from the building'.

BTW, He hasn't been on yet.

Looks like we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater again.

Running scared when you start trying to scare members with comments about 'bankruptcy', 'mergers' and 'interstate moves'.

And he'd welcome NB & AT to the board!

Fair dinkum.

for those of us who do not have access to SEN could someone please provide us with what was said.

thanks in advance.

His main message: "Safe change vs Reckless change"

He does not seem to know what's going on as far as the challenge goes as far as dates and elections.

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:33pm

Has invited AT and NB to come on the Board..to be elected unopposed...to any Board

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:34pm

Has stated the meeting will be in Nov.

Said that Gdanski and Levin have not left Board (it was KB asking)

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:34pm

Said that two weeks ago the Board approved an increase in spend of $500,000 for next year.

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:36pm

Why use the comment howard like

nothing to do with it

saintspremiers · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:38pm

Proxys - RB has support by email and phone, but needs to investigate further...again mentioning footy clubs going broke....looking backwards again...baby out with bathwater.

RB you FOOL.....how do you need more time to investigate 7,500 votes?

Are you STUPID, DUMB or all of the above??

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:39pm

asked about the 7500 proxies by KB.

RB: Good question and need to investigate it further..

Says he has had overwhelming support by phone and email...

Went then back to sound financial management record....

Has rung Greg W, but Greg W has not rung him back..

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:40pm

Interesting that Rb refrred to Geelong 12 months ago...and that they kept Bomba in the job....

redwhite&blackblood · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:40pm

Spin, Spin, Spin, round and round and round he goes Again

Oh When the Saints · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:41pm

Rod: "We don't want to end up playing in Brisbane, we don't want to end up bankrupt".

Me: And the evidence that points towards this happening is overwhelming. Especially when the way to grow a business is to increase revenue and invest ... something which St Kilda has failed to do.

Rod: "Look at Geelong - they went for stability, they kept Bomber and the kept the board, and now they are playing for a flag".

Me: Maybe if we'd followed the Geelong model Rod we might have been alright too.

Saint 58 · Post: # 463217Post **Saint 58** » Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:42pm

KB asking for Saints supporters to call to give their thoughts ... fry that switchboard !

How can I contact him to show my overwhelming lack of support?

saintsRrising · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:44pm

all in all wasa bit likea political spiel.....so the Board have started to campaign.

It was said by KB that the Corporations Act will be used to require 60 days notice.

Obviously the Board now realise that NB and AT have attracted many to send proxies in.....and so hence their tactic of saying that they would be elected unapposed...

So I would expect AT and NB to now re-iterate publically that they will only stand as part of the FF alternate ticket....and would definately not stand to be elected otherwise.

yep, spot on.

Keep following the model of the latest premier.....when Rod started the model was Brisbane, then it moved to Sydney, and now to Geelong.

The way Rod has the club run from a footy perspective is to always be the followers, never the leader, never being in touch with what's required to be successful at that point in time......ie. planning the future ONLY based on the past...

Keep following the premiers = never winning a premiership yourself!!

It's called perpetual motion....
