[quote=Anonymous]The disruption of the Board was not about whether TF/NM were living up to their contract, it was about, among other things, whether the contract was properly authorized at all.

If you have concerns about the performance of TD duties by NM, by all means take those up in a constructive fashion with RS or NM. Of course, the disruption caused by the purported cancellation undoubtedly took time away from TD duties, and it would be unreasonable to expect progress on those duties after the ML-led Board purported to cancel the contract until it was reinstated, or during the triage necessary to repair that damage afterwards. But if you think more should be done over the summer to prepare a curriculum for all team and train coaches on it, I don't have any issue with raising them. The right way to address those types of issues would be good faith, constructive engagement with the Board or by members bring concerns directly to NM or RS. But those shortcomings, if any, do not justify the damage and harm that was done by the ML-led takeover, nor were they offered as the justification for those decisions in April.

I have no objection to a reasonably priced audit that doesn't drive up costs--although there was some irony when the same people at the meetings who are pushing the complaints in the lawsuits are complaining, at the same time, about the legal fees required to respond.

And I may well support other reasonable Board governance reforms. Should there be more independent directors? Should there be two member-elected directors? Are there ways to make board decisionmaking more transparent? I'm happy to have constructive conversations about how to make the club better. But that's not what was happening at the meeting.

Instead the meeting devolved into ad hominin attacks and interruptions. Who cares about whether TF was in a commercial dispute with a vending machine company? Whatever the merits--the crowd never let NM respond--it has no bearing on coaching soccer.[/quote]
