Drama At Wests Tigers

[gallagher]

I'll give Lee one thing, the bloke has tipped in a lot of his own personal cash.

A bloke who's power comes from not his own money sourced from poker machines, obviously has no idea about how to generate money through sponsors. Deadset poor form, even if he does have a valid point.

Why are you linking him to pokies? He's chairman of Wests football club not the leagues club.

They all sound like tossers.

Magpie bloke wants star treatment and dissing people in the wrong setting for attention, lee with his bitchy little legalistic letter all pomp and sensitivity.

Yep my thoughts. He was right about one thing. There is no accountability. Pascoe might have a shiny new COE but when your continually getting flogged on and off the field, your conduct should be questioned.

No idea why anyone at the club would be arrogant.

Just another Weidler anti WT click bait article that gets his 2/3 page “oh gosh” article deserves 2 paragraph at best.
Wests Magpies honchoes have been at undeclared war status with Wests Tigers for quite some time now and really this is just part of that. Internal matter that will be resolved in time when some key protagonists move on.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Smh have beefed up their pay wall anyone got the gist of the Danny w wests fighting article.

Just another of his WT hate articles.

Funny that Hagipantellis says that Cavanagh has no right to interfere in WT matters but he sees fit to tell Wests Magpies what they should do with Cavanagh. Frickin hypocrite.

How about this gem, when the complaint is they don't accept any criticism:
"What is most galling is the arrogant presumption of Mr Cavanagh that he is in any position to level criticism of the Wests Tigers"
My dog, who is not exactly an expert in rugby league, is in a position to criticise Wests Tigers.

You're kidding aren't you - if anyone is acting like a child its Hagipantelis. Him and Pascoe get called out for not accepting some blame for the mess the club is in and the sook immediately slaps a please explain on the guy.

What mess is that?

Isn't one funded by the other?

 

[gallagher]

Isn't one funded by the other?

Yes, just like the Wests tigers.
So if his power comes from pokies, that means Lee's does too.

This shouldn't be in the media. Shame on whoever leaked it.

Shannon C became a Director back in 2021 thanks to 3 vacancies being open and only 3 nominees. So much for accountability.

Wests Magpies FC - Director Nominations - Western Suburbs Magpies

www.westsmagpies.com.au

There is no mention of who is the current WSDRLFC Board or Chair on their website - so much for accountability.

Teams, Boards & Ownership - Western Suburbs Magpies

Information about our rugby league teams appearing in the NSW Knock-On Effect Cup and Ron Massey Cup, our relationship to the Wests Tigers, and our Ownership structure.

There is no mention of his appointment as Chair on the WSDRLFC website in any of the "NEWS" posts.

The Wikipedia page still lists Rick Wayde as the Chair This page has not been updated since the Holman Barnes Group replaced the Wests Ashfield group. I know Wiki is not an official site but surely for the sake of transparency and accountability, the Club would want its true position to be preserved for all to see. Surely such a proud Magpie as Cavanagh postures would want his beloved club's history and its current status to be properly presented.

 

[Curaeus]

These people all need to grow up! Pathetic whining like this just gives the scumbag media another reason to rubbish the club (not that they've ever needed one!)

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

This is the last post on the WSDRLFC site April 2021 showing a reference to the West Board confirming R Wayde as Chair and S Cavanagh as being elected Director. Pathetic reporting, no transparency since then.

All levels of the club are amateur.

I agree with this....
Pascoe asked a question in public and got an answer he didn't like....then went and cried to Lee about it.
All this talk of taking ownership of the recent debacle clearly stops before it gets to JP and LH....

Cavanagh seems to have gone to the media with this. What an idiot

That is my main issue with the whole episode.Lee and Pascoe are not great and i have and will continue to criticise them if they stuff up.However having somebody within the club publicaly doing the same and then taking it to the media will never achieve anything worthwhile.Cavanagh is the main person causing the problem in this instance.There are ways to handle situations like this and he has handled it very badly by taking it to the media

Not a Lee or Pascoe fan. But leaking this to the media is grubby.

Would like to know how wests foott club works from a funding perspective. Surely, most the funding comes from wests tigers?

No it doesn't - Wests Tigers fund no one. Wests Ashfield fund Wests Magpies and Wests football club are funded by WA and through memberships and merchandise sales.

One club 🤣🤣
