David Barham - Our new Board Overlord

Sure…but first they signed off on Thorburn, a disgraced ex-banker with no football world experience.

I do believe that the club under the current board have more of a focus on football than previous recent administrations - but pointing to Vozzo as proof of their renewed focus on football is as convincing as Rutten claiming we’re a blue collar team.

Like Wellman?

My issue with Solomon is that he has seriously achieved nothing as a coach or administrator and is close mates with the current VP.

Not sure that you can actually label any of our recent ex-Presidents as weak, unfocused or self interested.

Hoping Rohan Connolly steps up and throws his hat in the ring.

He would cut through all the political bull$hit and hit them fair between the eyes with the facts, he would provide a point of difference to a board that is basically made of Business people and that are business focused, Corporate EFC as they have been labeled by some.
I think he would encourage the club to connect to the supporters more and most important of all would be to find the clubs soul again.

Just my opinion which is based from how he has spoken about the club in recent years.

He’s not one of the boys club either.

Maybe I’m naive. I assume the board knows how ■■■■ we’ve been and have been trying to fix it but it’s hard and what they’ve done hasn’t worked. The hard truths aren’t exactly hard to find.

You do realise that EFC is a business that employs a lot of people with a diverse set of operations, it is not just a footy club.

Ofcourse, heavily business focused.

I get in big trouble when I say things like that!

That is because you live in Qld, act entitled and eat too much chocolate.

Cheer up Foxy, have another drink :beer:

Not drinking today, are you eating chocolate yet with your champagne.

Yeah, sure. It’s a pokie palace, with a footy club attached, like a pimple on a pumpkin.

Wait, we have a football team? I just track pokie losses and membership numbers.

How did the team do this year?

Same as usual.

As long as I didn’t miss anything. I’d hate it if we made it into the top 8 and maybe won a final and I was staring at the flashing lights.

The Aristocrat pokie machine jackpot music going off as we lift the premiership cup would be nice.
