Parramatta Eels NRL and Leagues Club chief executive Denis Fitzgerald says he will work with the new Parramatta District Rugby League (PDRL) club board members and listen to what their plans are for the future.

Former Eels greats Ray Price, Eric Grothe Snr and Brett Kenny were elected along with property developer John Chidiac to give the Parramatta Pride and Passion ticket control of the seven-member football club board on Sunday.

The incoming quartet ousted long-serving Parramatta Leagues Club chairman Alan Overton, while Chris Jurd, Don Ritchie and Gary Morris also failed to get re-elected.

The board has vowed to bring control of the Eels NRL and Toyota Cup teams back under the PDRL and away from the leagues club.

"I'll be speaking to the new district club board and intend to run through the changes that were made back in 2001 to take the team under the leagues club's guidance and show it was all for logical, commonsensical and sound financial reasons," Fitzgerald told Sydney's 2KY Radio.

"I'd like to think we have a chance to have a chat with the three ex-players and John Chittiac to find out if we have any common ground instead of arguing and carrying on.

"We can work together, it's not as though because they have got on (the board), I shut up shop and move on.

"I'll be listening to what their goals are, and do they have a plan about how they go about things?"

Fitzgerald said he can't guarantee the first meeting between the PDRL and the Leagues Club, due to take place on January 14, will be harmonious and said there have been a lot of lies told during the campaign.

"So many lies have been told in this campaign and people with little bits of information and rumours that were totally wrong.

"When you can sit down in a boardroom and assess what the situation is with firm facts and figures and not just make-believe things designed to discredit individuals .. than we may have a better picture of where we are rather listening to people who do not have the full story."
