Fulvio
I do respect and appreciate your comments. Constructive dialogue and questions on procedure and action by us must be forthcoming, we are human and will continue to make mistakes and being responsible for them and improving outcomes is really the end goal.
Let me try and answer your questions.
1. The Force was and never has been for Sale. We did not seek out any buyers. In fact during this time we were focussed on community ownership through Own The Force. This proposal came to us unsolicited. We never even met these people.
I go back to my earlier comments - Are you suggesting all unsolicited proposals should go to all stakeholders?
Please by all means counsel me and advise me how to communicate to all constituents.
If stakeholders do not subscribe to nor read the major print media as well the respective print media's online electronic news, how do we economically appraise them of ridiculous, unsolicited proposals. It was never put on RugbyWA's media as once again, we had a bunch of guys come and tell us they could save us, make our team rich on the proviso our govt come to the party and in return they want our team. I do believe it did go on TWF - I don't have time to research the threads, but if my failing memory serves me correctly it is here somewhere.
Pardon my ignorance but I don't understand the terms Straw Man or Unicorn.
Believe me, to this day every single one of us reflect on what transpired and "how the F&%K we got duped". How did 3 eminent Q.C.'s also get it so wrong? So, Fulvio, you all have the right to question our competency, we still do that to this day.
You are right and allow me to re-inforce the point above - criticism is welcome - my offer to you and to everyone within our community is that should the responses to the criticism be unsatisfactory, or the criticism has a common thread and you are personally and continually embarrassed and annoyed at us, then you should fix it.
I shall always answer questions and accept criticism on decisions and actions we undertake, I play the ball. If and when we or any person working at RugbyWA gets personally or as a group attacked ( ie playing the man) then you or anyone can expect an offer to come and fix it.
