You say impact, positively or negatively?

congrats to the board on negotiating this debt arrangement.Goods news for all involved and let the past be the past and everybody get on with getting the association back to where we all want it to be.

Happy days you are not really correct here, the NBL team could be based at SBC but purely on a business arrangement.What you are trying to intermate was because Knox would not be directly involved it wont't happen.Let me tell you Knox was never going to be involved no matter what anybody has said.

This update is off Boti's blog not my words.

If somebody should be shot its the former CEO and board for allowing this to occur in the first place!!

Happy Days - the debt has very little to do with the old board. If people would only tell the truth. The cost over runsare klargely through poor project management ie. Knox Council. They estimated utility costs at $80k pa. Actual costs have come in at $240k. There have been numerous other building matters to with gas, air conditioning and heating. All issues that the project manager is accountable for. I can reliability tell you that $300k of the $400k debt was not of the previous boards doing. I think it is time to acknowledge the truth. Don't believe me? Well rather than sprout your misinformation on forums, go and ask Joyce or Noordzy if my facts are correct.
The people who should be copping blame are getting off scot free. The previous ceo and board were good knox people who don't deserve the treatment you and others have meted out to them. So Happy Days do everyone a favor. Move on and stop dragging up old negative gossip or have the decency to get the facts before attacking good people who have been blamed for the errors of others.

One word:Governance

Happy Days Knox Council governance I assume? Knox Board was made of volunteers with no expertise in project management.
Let me repeat myself speak to Joyce or Noordzy b4 you continue further comment.
Governance is not the real issue here. Project management and due diligence are - and the knox council is supposed to carry the expertise and accountability in this area. Not a group of people who have volunteered their time. If you are going to hang people for giving of their time in areas for which they have no expertise then I would recommend all volunteers quit their positions.
Happy Days - its time to quit your vitriolic and personal attacks on these people. If you are so big on governance then practice what you preach - go to Joyce or Noordzy to get the facts.
Prove to me and others who care about knox you are not just a hypocrite who is hell bent on destroying the good name of decent people.
Which one are you Happy Days?

For f--ks sake speak to Joyce or noordzy you ignoramus. Anon seems to be speaking from a point of facts.
Nah your right anonymous hang the bastards first and worry about the facts later.
Mental note to self - never volunteer again!! Better off letting kids hang out at railway stations and deal drugs.

So if the CEO and the board are not accountable who is? If a board doesnt have the expertise well then pay somebody who has. I think Raelene has done a good job to stem the bleeding and hopefully will have things back on track in the next few years.

I'm with you adodo. I wonder how many of these cheap shot posts are from people who sit back, do nothing, criticise committees and coaches. I am so disillusioned with basketball at the moment.
You know what - let's get rid of parents. If we just ran the club for kids - they'd love it, we'd love it - and the parents can stay home and bitch on forums.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Happy Days and mates - maybe you could volunteer your time to starting rumors and destroying people's reputations? I think you have a knack for it.

Happy Days - I repeat speak to Joyce or Noordzy!!! Hello can you hear me? The board are VOLUBTEERS - they don't get PAID!!
Haven't you understood or read my posts?

Folks, rally together, admit errors were made, eliminate the blame, and move forward.

All im doing is offering an opinion.Everybody is entitled to an opinion to whether its right or wrong. I work on a 7 member commission which is responsible for the strategic direction of a particular sport which has 27,313 participants in its region. None of the commissioners are paid but we give our spare time outside of our corporate jobs to assist clubs and leagues to grow the sport. I understand about the role of volunteers and we are pouring money into helping make their jobs easier. We have fulltime staff available 24/7 to assist them in anyway they require. I've been asked to come onto basketball boards but unfortunately you cant do everything.

Anonymous - I keep reading your last two posts. On one hand you criticize people for lies and not having the balls to put their name up.
Then you attempt to play the almighty justifying why you shouldn't have to put your name forward.

What does HYPOCRITE mean you fool?

Regardless of anyones opinion on who is right or wrong, Knox had a $900,000 loss during the year with no plans put in place to stem the bleeding. This has been addressed, an agreement with who (and there were many) they owe money to, including council rent that wasnt paid has now been made. The wash up is kids in Knox will continue to be able to play basketball which at the end of the day is the main thing. Merry Christmas everyone and let's hope the negativity from Raiderland is well on the way to being over and done with.

Happy Days!
