This isn't a serious post is it?

Have you have ever had a job where you have been in charge of a budget? Because I have. And I get given that number (the same way my colleagues do) and my job is to plan to appropriate/spend it. I have personally, and never ever seen or heard of a situation in my life where someone has gone back to their boss and asked for some form of financial line list of profit/loss/investment to confirm that this money is actually there to be spent. I don't even know what that document would even look like. Furthermore if I did do that, I would expect to be told to just focus on doing my job or look for another one.

Your contention that in his role Merber would and should have had confirmation of GST's greater finances is just absurd. So he's just figured out his "challenger" field for the womens 3/5000m in Kingston but before confirming anyone he's asking to see the bank account to make sure that the money is physically sitting there? I'm literally shaking my head and laughing at this, you can't be serious.

My god, some people that post on this messageboard - you need to stop and think before you hit that "post reply".

It is 100% a serious post. He is getting athletes into races, athletes are asking about payments, he is trying to line up additional athletes for future races, and as a senior leader the answer is not just sitting in your silo saying “oh odd my athletes haven’t been paid let me just look back at my budget and make another athlete recruiting phone call”. Again, pretending he knew nothing about the financial woes is undoubtedly worse than trying to hide it and keep the dream alive. It’s unbelievable, and your post is unbelievable.
