Thats the one that counts

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

While we are ar it......can someone please remind me what Pasco has done for the club...OR.... should he stay. Whichever is more justifiable and easier to write.....

 

[coivtny]

Thats the one that counts

Undoubtedly but I'll be surprised if there's much, if any, information released publicly tomorrow.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The pigs will be there...... paparazzi and cousins , friends, and that guy down at the pub.... everyone has a story.. it will all come out.. How will you know? Competition table position.

All I’m hoping for is we follow the rules of Taronga Park and stop putting the mongooses in with the snakes and the Hyenas with the lions.
I don’t know if there are factions but definitely a fraction too much friction!

Sounds like today's world. Could be too late.

Its almost like Split Ends

😂 you got it.

Richo would be brilliant. get it done WT.

Richo would be a coup.

But of course irony is that the people who are looking to get this done are the current board who some want replaced.

The same board who recently appointed Benji and will probably ensnare Luai.

The sticking point is Richardson wants a consultant's role which is a type of football operations review.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Well. The meeting was this morning? Thought it was tonight....

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Explain to me who is the "Balmain" faction. Stapleton? One man makes up a faction?

Stapleton is an accomplished board member......nearly 20 years good times and bad.

That type of experience supersedes other qualifications.

He is also the important voice for matters pertaining to the Balmain influence within the WT.

Probably what is wanted by some on here, especially former Balmain fans is an ending of majority Wests Magpies control of the club especially since Balmains unfortunate financial demise and this is manifesting in all sorts of round about ways.

But what they don't get is that control is via the HBG which was set up primarily by Wests ownership to provide for an inclusive stable identity structure for all fans, Wests, Balmain and Wests Tigers.

We have all much to lose if this changes.

20.years at a job is too long unless you are the owner. Look at our world leaders.

yes.......would hate to loose (sic) all the unbridled success that the current structure has brought us.

The next question is, how do we know if the board fully apply all of the recommendations of the report? Maybe they make a change or two and say they listened, but if the report called for wholesale changes then they haven't actually endorsed the findings of the review.

It's tricky as making the findings public is unlikely, but there's no transparency otherwise either.

This shouldn't be for public consumption.

The review was petioned by certain people supposedly as a means of helping the club find remedies for improvement.

Having gained signatures they presented the petition to the club who decided to proceed.

Having proceeded the club has fully implemented what Cochise and co requested.

Matter ends there.

The club as a privately owned group is under no obligation to make the review public. Why should they in any case. Unlike Parramatta or Cronulla there weren't any serious breaches or allegations . And besides they are in current discussions with high profile players and Richardson. Do we need the media.

The petitioners request has been fulfilled.

It should end there.
