- The club is moving forward :  accelerating downhill towards oblivion
- Members must pull together : put up and shut up
- Thought leadership : brainwashing

- Team player : compliant and obedient
- Not a team player : arrogant, unpredictable maverick
- Proactive : interfering busy body
- Reactive : quick-tempered, easily provoked
- New dynamic team : as useless as all those they replaced

- It's come to our attention : our spies have told us
- Club faces big challenges : we're doomed
- Committee gives 110% : works its socks off to cover its tracks
