Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

The CEO has no power to confirm a chairman or any director

That's the problem which has precipitated the recent crap.

Richardson pushed for Barry's appointment outside process. HBG aren't happy about that. Seems Shane is playing one side off against the other......he shouldn't be getting involved in board selections or bringing skeletons out of the closest......but I've worked with those types.

Having pushed for Barry's appointment he has influence over him. If then Barry is selecting the remaining 3 independents that's not acceptable......and I think all delays come down to this..... plus the need for the DEI hires......it seems there are a lack of suitable ladies who are interested.

Everything else is scuttlebutt .....as they say.

He should've but the HBG press release is enough.
All the press release did was confirm that the Holman Barnes group is divided despite their apparent devotion to the cause, and the options are blind faith/ignorance, choose a side to support, and or call them all out.
 
What evidence do you have he is anti WT or unsuited.

Why are formal qualifications important. Lee had them.....but no good.

Evidence?
He's been a WT's board member since when, And how have the club gone in that time?
Aren't the 2 boards affiliated with the Football side he's currently serving on in tatters atm?
What more 'Evidence' would you like?

You say Lee was no good - But are defending Dennis as though he is?
For all his Faults, At least Lee had actually achieved something?
- Dennis been raised here 100 times in the last decade or more - And all you clowns can come back with is 'He was in the Masters Apprentices' or 'His brother was in AC/DC' Both Instances being at the very wrong end of the bands life span

You want my evidence, If it's not clear to you this far - I've got plenty more....
Where's yours?

Formal Qualifications certainly aren't the be all and end all,
But you've got to have something that Qualifies you, No?
We're a multi million dollar affair!!

We're not charging 15 yr old kids $100 to play in a 'Red Letter Day' Battle of the bands,
with a couple speakers we threw in a hall we got for next to nothing.
Although, It does look like something on paper, Doesn't it....

Someone has to teach these idiots how to run a Football Club - It's obviously beyond them on their own.
 
Was it well known at the time?
I didn't know about it, and I spend nearly as much time on here as anyone else.
But if you don't want to answer, are you hiding something you don't want us to know, or maybe you just feel uncomfortable retelling it? and if so, I will respect that.
It was a huge event . There were 2 sides and a lot of collateral damage . Mainly people had a huge issue with .

And from that everything stemmed . Also there was 2-3 people who lived for the shit stir .
It was what formed the catalyst for the Podcast forum .

Jesus mate I like your posts but shit like this don't help and is just divisive
mate I’m on the Magpies side of the merger. I play reserve grade, albeit not very well, in the Macarthur comp. I grew up on the hill at Campbelltown. I have mates who work at the club and have family who played in the lower grades for Wests.

I was simply trying to show solidarity with those who were historically Balmain. no true Wests Tigers fan wants to see the return of the Magpies or the Balmain Tigers. we’re one club.

apologies if you saw it as divisive, it was the last thing I was trying to do.

You are full of it. If you were on here at that time then you would be aware of what happened. It doesn't need to be brought up now for any reason other than you attacking someone's character. Along with a few others on here, you provide nothing to this forum but negativity and BS.

But he is a sitting board member so the release covers him.

Can't be going off text msgs.

It was shut down within an hour.

All they can do.
 
Here he is … the geriatric tag team , back in full swing !
LOL that’s hilarious you think I’m him .
Ask the mods if I’m him . @Demps can you put this dope in his place. Clearly he’s bored sitting around the Coffee Club . please?
Ageist, abusive...........and calling for a mod's help?
It's possible to remain civil.
Try it, you can do it

Your the one that keeps attacking me......with nonsense and name calling.

I saw a couple of posts from you and @cochise on Friday night when that crap article surfaced.......they weren't the best and they seemed to reference me something about torpedoed the club BS and other name calling. Seems you took them down or had them taken down by the moderators....perhaps they could explain.

I was to post then and there....to remind people it was BS but when I saw those posts I didn't bother.

@Lestronge has got a track record with whinnying posts.....if you can't engage with someone on anonymous forum as you would in real life that's lame.

Perhaps you and Cochise could re post what you originally posted.

Come on mate. If HBG are taking richo as recommending Barry to continue (not appointment!) as chair in how you say, then they are mentally weaker than i thought. All he wants is the best for the club and a change in chair would set us back. Its not blooming rocket science!!!

.. and how would barry also select the independants? He's a single chair. That would be a board vote.
 
But he is a sitting board member so the release covers him.

Mate you guys went off about a dream that a Wiggle had and a Balmain board director with no power threatening the future of JV.
Burgess and Romero are a faction within the board with controlling power and a divisive accusations from other Wests Board members have become public knowledge that point directly at him and now you want to be dismissive.
Cmon I get your allegiance to the Magpies and even understand it but this has got head in the sand written all over it.
 
He's not a board member.

Out of curiosity -Which HBG board member has he worked closely with in the past?

Correction,

Replying to far too many posts.

Meant to say Barry......as he dealt with HBG during his previous tenure as well as dual HBG WT directors.

Was only meant to highlight there are complexities regarding the procurement of directors.......hence the delays.
