Drama At Wests Tigers

Like him or hate him, without Pascoe
we could have been packed and shipped
off to Perth by now. He's good at
business, that's how he's survived
for so long. Name call all you want but
we've made profits for the a big chunk
of the 11 years we haven't made finals

If that’s really the case, then why has the footy department been underfunded in that time?

Spoiler: cause it's not true. Pascoe isn't a $$$$$ wizard.

Remember, this is the same guy that took how many years to appoint a football manager to distance himself from the on field results....cause Football was not his specialty.

Then, his specialty of being a football club CEO, got suspended for the RF screw up and took a chunk of the cap with it.

Don't care about this Magpies guy and if he's right or wrong. Just care that Pascoe is gone asap.

What are you basing that on? If you have any reports with data can you share them? super keen on the last 5 years if you have them. The last report Pascode shared was 3 (?) years ago with no real data and broad statements on why KPI's were not hit.

I've asked dozens of people who just blindly say that we make a profit to share the financials but they can't. WA tipped in $1m last year so maybe we don't.
I don't know either way but it's amusing how many times it gets repeated without any facts to back the claim up.

Considering our biggest sponsor - Is also one of the biggest sponsors in the game
Is also on the Board.... I very much doubt that is true...

Maybe they know something guys posting on forums don't?

lol...wait, are you implying that sponsors join Wests because of possible success on the field?

I mean, that's possible I guess. Not really much to back it up though.

I would say people would want to align with Wests cause they know it will get plenty of articles, clicks, news reports on them. Good or bad. Any publicity is Good publicity.

It's a real head scratcher. So many people keep telling us that Wests are profitable but no one has any data to back it up. It's like if they read one person say it on here, and it becomes a fact.


We need a Financial signing & Rumour Thread.
 
Nobodys privy to the spreadsheets..
Trall the web, plenty of articles highlighting our profits and getting out of the red.
You can carry on arguing amongst
yourselves lol. I'm looking forward to team
list Tuesday and the start of our season
 
Is their a board anywhere where some one thinks they know better than the head honcho's especially when the club has been starved of success! And of course Pascoe and LH are sensitive to the criticism because they havnt got a leg to stand on if the measure of the clubs success is results on the field. Not sure why anyone would be concerned by this, especially Pascoe and Lee H who instead of making a song and dance about it should focus on the job at hand.

The alternative is there is no reciprocating benefit other than buying a seat?

Of course they should make a song and dance about it, a board memeber of an entity related to the club attended a function and made an ass our of himself in front of sponsors.

It's like going to a work event and telling your customers that your company is a poorly managed joke infront of management. See how long your employment lasts, it's the same thing here.

What people seem to be missing here is that the response from Lee is a formal letter to have him removed from his position.

I hate Lee and Pascoe and think they are both useless, but in this case they are 100% in the right.

I liked that post because it's alluding to facts. It's no good stating we are profitable whatever that means. You need to show some data.

I'm also skeptical about data that has been massaged to make a corporate point. I'm reading the Expanse books right now and there is a character who always wins. It's pretty simple. You just state that whatever happened was what you wanted to happen and call it a win. Ignore all the failures.

Enjoyed the series on Amazon, are the books good? do they go on past where the tv series left off cause I felt there was more story.

Hang on, you’ve made a statement and had a swipe at others on here, they’ve retorted and asked for receipts to back your statement up.
Now you are running away?
Not a good look.

Not supporting what this bloke did without being privy to what went on - sounds like he did a good enough job of screwing himself on his own. In the aftermath just looks like LeeH deflecting from the issue that he and Pascoe are not devoid from being accountable in the eyes of those invested in the club, and using his legal background to ride roughshod over this bloke just looks like more grandstanding IMO.

Haha who's running away?

I said there are heaps of articles online
in relation to the club making a profit.
I'm not wasting time searching them
or giving anyone a breakdown, thanks
