A LETTER has gone to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian asking her to remove Max Donnelly from his role as temporary administrator and self-appointed chairman at Parramatta Eels.
The letter, drafted by a barrister, according to Parramatta Eels member Andrew Eagleston, also attributes much of the club’s failings to their current holding pattern.
Coach Brad Arthur was trying to sign Titans general manager of football Phil Moss to the role earlier this year but was shouted down by Donnelly and so far has been forced to go without.
The Eels had no major sponsor last season.
Max Donnelly’s position has come under threat.
Members believe Donnelly’s inaction is now actually preventing the club from moving forward and hope the Premier will intervene.
It shows the Eels are a long way from bouncing back as fans hoped after the 2016 salary cap scandal, a position reinforced with this season’s performances which might have had no effect on the players but would have impacted on Arthur significantly.
Just appeared in Daily Telegraph, Does anyone have any more info on this, or know if it's true

Here we go again.
LOL..... Andrew Eagleston, Isn't he the dope that is aligned with some old factional warlords looking for any way to get back into the club. Those old factions will always be testing the perimeter fences in hope they can find a way back into the club.
I don't know a lot about the earlier factional in-fighting in the club, hence my question. I just google'd him and found the following from the SMH June 2016. I would agree we needed something like that back in 2016.
“A coup to overthrow Parramatta's dysfunctional board has officially been launched.
After months of planning, local businessman Andrew Eagleston has assembled a team of seven professionals to take over the running of the embattled club. The alternate leadership group, which comprises Eagleston and lawyer Brendon Noney, has the backing of heavy hitters, including former Macquarie Bank executive Bill Moss”
Pat he is a Spags stoodge, does Max really want to relax the laws so clowns like this can get onto the board???
No way can any of the kents that have been in previous admins be allowed back. I asked in another blog. What happened to Max's nuclear option of ramming through the necessary changes. That is the option that must be taken and done so ASAP not relaxing the rules so Spags, Fitzy and their acolytes come back either in person or by proxy.
Correct Patsy and nothing this guy says can be trusted, this is the perfect example of a real agenda at work.
Take note poppa, finally somebody with a real agenda.
Yes Parra dice I'm quite aware of that , so what happens when the 2 years is up and electuele are are due ? We could have a decent board in place that gets voted out .
It appears to me that a few old disenfranchised board members want to get back on the gravy train.
And thats the last this this club needs.
Phil moss would’ve been a great addition and exactly what we need...Brad has had too much going on in the background and I’m glad it’s out there for all to see now.
How can we compete realistically with the arse combo undermining our ability to move forward and recruit.
