Lee & JP finally lose the confidence of the Board??

Mate, sorry to break it to you but you come across as a tin foil hat wearing nut bag. I’m guessing the guys read your question, if they even bothered finish reading it probably dismissed it straight away. Much the same way you quickly walk past and not make eye contact with the crackhead at the train station yelling about 5g in the vaccine.

You’re this websites crackhead. I engage with you cause I find it funny.
I would've thought they needed or wanted the @The Fresh Oil going into bat for them.

I'm sure many readers of the forum would like to hear from Cochise and Joel regarding the questions I put to them in post #694.

Hey bling bling, don’t shoot the messenger. Just trying to give you context on what people think of you.

Would you answer this guys inane ramblings and questions:

Alright bro,

Now I don't mind a bit of harmless banter with you but that photo contains racial overtones.

By the way some on the forum say you also go by the name Earl.

Is this true?

Bling bling extends well past your racial barriers. Try again.

As for your conspiracy on my names, some on this forum say you also go by Crystal Methany.

Is this true?
 
What rubbish.

The only way to make change at the board level is through a very vocal, public campaign. With pressure hounding them constantly, ridiculing them. Embarrassing them.
But that would entail a destructive process generating negative publicity for the club in general possibly costing us sponsors, fans and put the club into a negative financial spiral.

Can't have that,despite our on field woes financially the club is sound ,popular with good backing and a good brand.......why jeopardise that.

Any changes must be done professionally and in a constructive way and with relative discretion.

Can't have anarchy.

The typical News Corp aspect is Brent Read uses the petition started by, (I think the term he used was powerful supporters) as content for a few articles. Then when the review is underway Riccio chimes in with who would listen to a bunch of podcasters
 
Barniers current role is as a consultant for the NSW government and he goes to underperforming hospitals or hospital departments and conducts reviews and oversees the implementation of the recommendations.
If Wests Tigers were a Hospital, we would be the ICU.

Perhaps the original positive intentions of the petitions organisers have been taken over by more powerful supporters.

It's now an uncontrolled negative spiral for the club.
 
Palliative care
Yes Ink, I was almost going to go with that one, but you obviously got the idea.

I have no idea what will come out of this revue but good on Gary and Joel for putting up the petition and I am pleasantly surprised that it wasn't fobbed off and that at least some sort of a revue is coming out of it, which is more than would of happened without the petition.

Something has to happen otherwise the next hospital department we head to is the Morgue.

I will answer your question mate, just been busy with work today. I have never personally had any contact with anyone in the media. Steve had 1, possibly 2 conversations with Brent Read when the petition was in progress, after we met with the Holman Barnes Group we have not spoken to anyone in the media as were the requests from the Holman Barnes Group.

We did send an email to David Riccio on the weekend to clarify with him, not for publication purposes, a couple of points he made in his article about our intentions with the petition. I do not expect there to be anymore communication with him at this point.

We have no ongoing communication regarding the review with anyone in the media and I do not really expect that to change before the completion of the review.

I do not believe the positive intentions of the review to have been taken over by anyone, this is in the media now because people inside our club can not let the review proceed in the manner in which it should. I believe this is in the media now because our club leaks information to the press constantly in what appears from the outside looking in an attempt to push their own agendas.

I have confidence in Tony Crawford and Gary Barnier to conduct a thorough, honest, fair and unbiased review and am completed prepared to accept their recommendations.

I do hope at some point the Holman Barnes Group releases, accepts and implements the recommendations that come from the review.

Short term anarchy is the only option when resistance is strong. That's the whole point. You don't topple a dictatorship through negotiation. You do it by applying enough force.

Sure we can try the discrete route first, ask the board members to all (exc Dorahy) step down, but will they all relinquish their own power, even if that's what the review recommends? I have my doubts, but will stand corrected if they do.

Negative publicity? Back to back spoons, and basket cases through management and executive. We've rightfully been copping bad publicity for years, we're a laughing stock!!!!! The media have been criticising our board for years. The fact that something is happening to generate change is widely regarded as a positive in footy circles. Everyone expects us to do nothing because we're such a mess

Us winning back to back spoons is costing us far more fans, members, sponsors, player signings etc. Changes at board level don't deter fans and members, losing does. Doing the same thing that sees us come last is madness. As soon as we can become a more professionally run organisation we'll also be able to better capitalise from sponsors etc.

The only way we can stop the rot is by chopping the head off the snake.

Dictatorship strong words for a privately owned JV.

Private ownership still counts for something in this country.

There will and must be some changes as there already has been but no organisation can accept a directive for wholesale changes because a section of the fan base wants. Where will that end.

What will you say if for arguments sake Justin and a couple of others go. Perhaps some will be happy while you may not be.

Will the innuendo carry on?

Besides, in the short term any on field improvements can only come from our present time recruitment and what we have.

Even if the entire board and CEO is replaced tomorrow it would unlikely help us on field if at all for 3 years minimum.
