Where?

Magic

Al is long gone may as well get used to no Green and Gold.

the ego has left the building

well done to those who stood firm for the betterment of the Club

Woodville people should vote with their feet, if you are not happy at Woodville then find a new club.
just about any other club would offer a better development path than what is on offer at St Clair,
even if Al was still involved.

So Benn hung in by a small margin on a vote. Nothing good will change then. Better the Woodville players find another club. Shame really for those who have belief in the club.

The whole being gagged on the threat of legal action is the oldest trick in the book. Defamation can only be found if what is being said is untrue. So if Benn claims to be saying the truth about Al, then why be concerned. Seems to be a whole lot of lies to me.

If Al was sacked and has a contractual claim then no matter what is said wont change the fact that the club has to pay out the contract.

Looks like those wanting to back Benn for the sake of not liking Al and spreading misinformation.

Haters will always jump on the bandwagon and kick someone when they are down as is with the band of merry haters against Al. Their loss really.

Benn is a young President and needs to learn how to manage without controversy. A good ref doesn't make a good administrator. Vice versa with coaching and administrating. Both shoud be separate.

In my humble opinion of course.

This board has not been there long enough to have the opportunity to help the development of the juniors. It sounds like they have been busy with other stuff that has come up as well. This board should have been given the chance with out all this happening.
Yes the girls numbers are low but the quality of the coaches are great. Better coaching then other clubs in my opinion.
All that was mentioned over and over again was the fact that Al got fired. It is time to move on. Al has good and past history. Mention his name and most of the time the bad comes forward. That's how his name was introduced to me.
Its time for the Board to move forward and make good what was said at the meeting.
Good luck to Al in his new adventures and those leaving the club to follow Don't let the Door hit you on the way out!
Forward Warriors Forward!

quote from - "Oh please" "Defamation can only be found if what is being said is untrue"

I would think you will find that is a little bit naive, but be that as it may,there are far stronger reasons to be a liitle bit more aware of the pitfalls in just letting it all hang out -

I would not be happy with any board that decided to "tell the truth", just to please those who want to argue, and then have to spend the clubs' thousands of dollars on legal representation to prove that what they said was true, and then still have mucho dolaro to have to pay out to lawyers even if costs were awarded to the club by the court.

By definition, any Board that would take that course of action just to prove its self, at the expense of a very significant sum of club funds - is not a fit board.

Maybe the other person has not be totally honest?? Maybe there is more to it then what has been said.
I do believe the board would have had good reason to do this and the blame can not be placed on one person. There are two sides to the story and 1 isn't commenting while the other could be hiding things. I know I wouldn't risk saying anything if I was on the board in case of legal actions ... just MY humble opinion

very naive point of view

certainly not one that I would want from a Board member of my Club

full disclosure leaves a Club vulnerable

elected Board members are there to make the hard calls for the Club

Agree Cat!!

bullshit..you've obviously never served on a Board in your life

you want EVERY Board decision laid bare and leave those volunteers opinions to be common knowledge?

good luck finding people to serve

this layman's lynch mob needs to get a grip and get behind it's elected Board

it was put to a vote, and majority carried

if you don't like the democratic system put your hand up to become the Dictator

the name for you is half right
