WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

[hank37w]

The role of the Chairman is a statesman and political role. A politician is uniquely qualified for it. I understand people concerned with BOF, particularly if they are Labor voters but to have a politician as a Chairman makes sense and at least he is a die in the wool Tiger.

Lee's role as Chairman was that of a statesman.

He just couldn't help himself, he was always stating shit when he should have been keeping his mouth shut.

Who in this world is a Statesman?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

There is only room for 1 God. And Wests tigets or the NRL is on top of his or her agenda. I promise you that.

 

[jadtiger]

What do you think the job of a Board Chairman is?

Tell me the names of other politicians who are the chairman of NRL clubs,i am sure it won't be a long list

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Statesman? Made up by a guy wearing a skirt many years ago. Just like fizz.

 

[Demps]

Good result eh...
Credit to all those who signed & those who got the ball rolling.

Onward and upward.

Hopefully, but he should also have to apply for his job.

That would be the most Wests Tigers thing ever. They finally land a bloke capable of doing the job, who has demonstrated experience of completely rebuilding three clubs from laughing stocks to competitive with two of them winning the premiership within his reign and then losing him because they told him he has to re-apply for his job. Probably replace him with Longmuir.

The new board to set a number of requirements for the role and determine whom best meets those requirements.

Rebuilding three basket cases into top 4/premiers isnt a requirement?

Jobs shouldn't just fall into laps because of history

of course, lets not worry about people who have proven that they are capable, lets employ someone who talks a good game.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yes.

Talking about the Board here - how would they have been punted? It was an independent review with non-binding recommendations.

Holman Barnes could do what they please, including ignoring the recommendations... in fact, including smothering the recommendations which were not required to be made public. Private review for a privately-run organisation.

So to that extent, Holman Barnes absolutely had the power to appoint themselves. They've been doing it ever since they existed.

You seem to be highly educated on the topic.

Can I ask, what would have happened if, say, Tony Andreacchio or Dennis Burgess or any other board member refused to step down?

Hope Lee still does his SEN variety hour of news and law advice. Be a shame to loose that gold.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Good money?

Get a life brother. Seriously.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Cavenagh was on the money.

No he wasnt, he was a bitter hack who had a dummy spit at soft targets because of his own unprofessionalism.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How do you guys know all this inside stuff?

 

[Mistymuzzle]

The fans also fund Wests Tigers.

Not enough to worry about

I find it strange that Stapleton stayed on. One of the constitutional problems with the board was that Balmain had not held any elections for over 4 years and Stapleton's tenure had finished 2 years previously. I would of thought it more proper to vacate the Balmain board position as well and for Balmain FC members to vote on their rep. Stapleton may have very well got back in but at least it would have been done correctly.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

My god Ive never put a poster on ignore but its getting hard to take

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Not enough to worry about

I dont know. My missus not complaining yet. Kids looking good. Xmas coming. No presents this year. Just hugs and Love.

I think you are conflating two things..The Wests Tigers Board has been punted by the Holman Barnes Board who appoint them. The Holman Barnes board is unchanged, the Wests Tigers board has been sacked with 4 interim members appointed.

He got the final laugh. And we got the best result.
