NEWS Tony Joseph departs

Produce market magnate Tony Joseph, the Broncos longest serving board member, is about to announce his departure. Joseph, who this year was made a member of the Order of Australia (General Division), has been involved the Broncos since day one. His cash helped bankroll the club's current $27 million headquarters at Red Hill.

Thanks for all the fish

I don’t know much about the guy but might be a careful what you wish for situation. Everyone wanted the board to be cleared out but if you only got to
pick one to leave, it probably wouldn’t be the billionaire who’s been at the club since it’s inception.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

This could go either way. I get the feeling it is DD clearing the decks to bring in his own people. We can only hope it's the right ones. Sorry Locky I love you but you should go too.

 

[broncsgoat]

Thanks for the new headquarters I guess.

 

[Nashy]

The problem is the News Ltd fuckwit on the board. His board is protecting him.

I'd burn it all down just to go back in time to say 'No' to Darius Boyd.

The CEO doesn't control the board and thus doesn't "clear the decks".

The CEO reports to the Board, who is his boss.

Dave Donaghy doesn't choose the board, that's not how a board works. It's the other way around.

Morris and Nolan need to be removed before we move forward.

 

[tommy]

Never heard of him. I wonder if this guy is fleeing the sinking ship like white did? Something about smokin joe’s things wil get worse remark springs to mind.

 

[Kooly87]

Morris and Nolan need to be removed before we move forward.

Again, just to be crystal clear, only one of these guys (Nolan) is a paid staff member who can be hired and fired by the CEO at any stage for non-performance .

The other guy (Morris) is an elected Board Member, he's the Chairman in fact, of an ASX listed company and he's only able to be removed by the shareholders themselves, the only one of which who has enough shares to matter in this instance is News Ltd themselves who are the one's that put him there in the first place. He's literally their man on the board.

Yeah, I'm not talking about what our Ceo can actually do, but these people have to be outed in this club is all I was saying.

I would say Nolan being given the flick is a certainty.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I would say Nolan being given the flick is a certainty.

It was supposed to be a certainty 2 years ago.

 

[Thelmus]

It may be he just has decided to slow down 30+ years is a fair wack. I don't know how old is but I'd be surprised if he isnt pushing past 60.

 

[Skyblues87]

Hopefully it will be the first thing DD does. Agree PW should have done it 2 years ago. Still think WB is partly responsible for the roster clusterfuck.

 

[Galah]

I would say Nolan being given the flick is a certainty.

That would be tremendous progress

 

[Sproj]

Does Nolan need to be replaced or does he need to be demoted / given help? I've been thinking about this because there is no doubt we are pumping talent out but somewhere along the line, they are failing to progress / not being retained early enough before they get stupid offers. So this retention part, who is the most responsible for that? Is it Nolan or other? That is the person most in need of urgent replacement.
