Be strong, say NO

well im glad to hear the media views on edlestein dont interest u on that we agree. were our views differ is that the doc is not the public face of our club and correct me if im wrong but never has been. clearly for me the dollars are important because its a millstone that is curtailing our development, so to that end, anyone who contributes significant amounts i will respect even if i dont personally like their methods or views. Being in a club requires embracing different types which is what the doc is.

If the doc is sitting in our coaches box on live national tv, right behind our senior coach,  then I would suggest that he is a public face of the club. As far as "embracing different types" I don't have a problem with that in principle as long as they enhance the club or at minimum do not detract from it.  I personally firmly believe that we must exercise care as to how much and from whom we  accept money and, most importantly, what they might be asking in return. I would hate to think we are prepared to just sell ourselves and our brand to anyone offering a bag of gold without careful regard as to how beneficial in overall terms, not just financial, that may be for us.
