Happy for you to point me to the story in the media which confirms the boards actions to be unlawful. Clearly it'll be there somewhere as everything else about the saga is.
That's pretty funny. I'm telling you the appointment was unlawful ab initio because, as a matter of corporate law, it was.
As to your second point, the media and I have an arrangement. I don't write their articles for them and they don't write my legal advices or appear before any superior appellate courts.

Who are you? Sound like a very learned High Court Justice? Your opinions are very thoughtful, accurate, and informative. And I So Advise !
I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for.

Again, I disagree. The appointment would have been ratified or rejected by members at the next AGM as allowed within the constitution. Nothing about that is unlawful. I look forward to your litigation of the case to demonstrate otherwise.
No, it isn't. I'm telling you, respectfully, that you are maintaining a nonsense view. Your contention is not open. It is not even arguable. It is remarkable that you persist.
Irony is completely lost on you because I'm telling you the same. And I haven't been reduced to suggesting you're a light-sensitive collection of cells so I'm not sure where the "respectfully" comes into it. I'll leave it there.

Murphy won't be re-contesting his spot on the board.
Murphy won’t contest election but Collingwood could still have board fight
Collingwood board member Peter Murphy will not contest the club’s election, hoping the decision will make for a peaceful transition to a Jeff Browne-led board.
Murphy confirmed to The Age he had decided against nominating to contest his place on the board at the up-coming election. He declined to comment further but did confirm his decision.
"Pies members are heading to the polls. 4x board seats are up for grabs and there were more than 4x nominations at yday’s deadline. Club currently validating eligibility of nominations. Voting scheduled to begin Nov 19. Jeff Browne still the expected pres. @7NewsMelbourne@7AFL
Disappointing that one or both of Wilson and Korda did not have the sense to stand down - Wilson because he was not a social club member and Korda because he's long overstayed his welcome (15 yrs is enough already!). Instead, we have the situation where the most capable and non-ego-driven Board member in Murphy, has sacrificed his position for the good of our club. I just hope that Murphy returns to our Board again in 12 months time.
