Unbelievable!!

There goes all my support for the Bombers as well as all my respect!!!

Remember these names:

Gene Dunn (past chair), Brock Bulbuck, Eugene Kostyra, Debbie Metcalfe, Chrys Pappas, Trevor Kennerd, and Bob Cameron.

These SOB deserve to have all their support pulled as well.

From now on, when there is a Bomber game, I'm going bowling.

Surely the tall foreheads that approved this move knew this would be wildly unpopular. I understand Asper, but where/how does sheegl fit into this picture? Is he a place-holder for sammy?

I have a world of respect for Trevor Kennard. I will ask him how this came to be.

I would have thought the outrage that exploded when this was suggested a little while back would have stopped them.

Here's a comment from the Free Press that's worth repeating imo....



The board consists of people from companies that no longer exist : Ensis Fund, Crocus Fund, Federal Industries, Canwest, Jazz Golf. Given the spectacular failures of these companies that failed investors at every turn, how is it possible to elect such a group to the board of directors?

Gene Dunn worked as a President at Federal Industries and Director of Ensis Fund. Bill Watchorn was a CFO at Canwest, the CFO of Federal Industries, the CEO of Ensis Fund and a Director of Jazz Golf. Brock Bulbuck worked as a CFO at Federal Industries. Eugene Kostyra was a dropout of St John's high school (according to Wikipedia) and was a VP at Crocus Fund. David Asper was a 10 year executive VP at Canwest where Bill Watchorn was a CFO. Of course all these companies failed due to a lack of strategic planning and thinking and investors lost big time.

Its so funny its sad that the Bomber board is now overloaded with guys from these companies. Throw in a couple of football players who may have little or no say and we have a new Bomber board.

These guys from these failed companies have been long term fixtures on the Bomber board of directors.

I also thought the city or province was going to put up some board members based on the financing deal? What happened to that?

This board has demonstrated nothing but incompetence but then what would you expect? Remember that it was this same board that approved the Asper proposal for a $115m stadium and initiated the stadium fiasco.

Personally, I believe that we should boycott the Bombers this season...until they not only rid themselves of this jerkoff Asker, but also re-structure the Board to be accountable to the citizens of Winnipeg, which includes an open agenda and an publically elected Board.

Enough of this backroom, old boys' bullshet!!

HAsper wouldn't give a hoot anyways...
The next thing they'll do is move the franchise somewhere else...

Restrucure all boards to be responsible to Winnipeg?
How would that be possible?
Who would be the decider regarding being responsible?
JTF- do you see the ridiculousness of the statement?
I would agree , only if you and I were the "deciders", and then possible George Busg to be tie breaker if needed! lol
