Are you saying alex gets paid $100,000 for his efforts???????

 

[wchester]

The TBAL CEO position was advertised in the weekend 'Australian' newspaper as well.
This could be seen as a positive move, yet the one thing that really concerns me is this line You will report to a Board.
Shouldn't we be getting rid of the current board and starting fresh?
oh and one more thing...
Why hasn't TBAL advertised this job opening on their website and/or on Totalbowling? Don't they realise that there may just be a bowler out there with executive qualifications.

my suggestion,
look to see who has posted the job application, before jumping to conclusions

 

[Andrew S.]

At the very least the present Chairman, John Coxon, should resign. There has been no leadership shown from him and clearly the rest of the board are totally incapable of salvaging the existing mess.
Most of us thought the membership fees were the main issue, but as more and more people post information on this web site, more and more mistakes come to light.
The credibility won't be restored simply by making the CEO the scapegoat.
The board also have to take responsibility.

Job 1 of 1Listed 05 Oct 2007
Work Type: Full Time
Function: CEO/MD
Location: Brisbane
Advertiser: AMF Bowling Centres

 

[AMFNorthStrathfield]

the question is by appointing a CEO will we actually see any changes or will TBA still tiptoe around the major issues that have come to light in the last few weeks or will they actually start listening to the bowlers needs and requests?

was hoping that others would read it for themselves first.

 

[wchester]

GOD help us all if AMF is going to be running the sport.

beat me two it

i dont think there would be anyone better than peter

 

[Easy Tiger]

From memory AMF got TBA on it's feet after the collapse of the ATBC.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[tonx]

One should be able to draw a conclusion that Roy M posted the advert as he is a current member of the TBA board. He no longer works for AMF bowling, but still holds a position at Macquarie. There is no conflict of interest there, he is just using the AMF account to pay for the advert.

 

[Sydpies]

Wayne I think AMF are trying to help and obviously are very concerned with what the TBA Board has not achieved in the past. Personally I hope that they become a lot more involved along with all the other owners.

 

[wchester]

I understand what you're saying Joe. It's just that from past experiences in the USA, I've found that whenever the proprietors have the deciding vote in running things, it's the bowlers who end being the sacrificial lambs. And the way AMF has treated it's league bowlers, I just don't trust them.

 

[rambo1]

you are correct easy tiger it was mr peter finlayson as i remember telling him at maitland bowl which i was managing at the time why is amf supporting the atbc or tbal & he replied things would change with amf's help A NOBLE GESTURE on his part, now roy wants to do the same they are both highly intelligent men & well respected why do they want to support the titanic beats me
i had conversations with a member of the current board just a couple of years ago & he outlined some of the things tbal would do, i am sure he meant well but nothing eventuated
the only way tbal will change is to change the whole board & start fresh not sure if P C is the answer either
THE PROBLEM WITH THE TBAL IS THEY DON'T CARE FOR THE EVERY DAY BOWLER THE LITTLE PEOPLE SAME AS MOST GOVERNMENTS THEY COME IN WITH IDEALS & LEAVE WITH A LEGACY OF PAIN
BTW: when i was talking with the director i also made quite a few suggestions obviously not followed thru by the tbal

 

[rambo1]

wchester, AMF is a very good company the do care for their league bowlers & i can tell you from personal experience they set very high standards when it comes to customer relations, all the seminars they held (not sure if the do now) constantly preached better service. unfortunately not all the managers were great & some regional managers were no better. I believe if AMF took the reigns of the TBAL they would certainly do a better job than this current crop
