Breaking news: HBG takeover

[TT 01]

I thought it was odd when some of the board were saying they weren’t consulted on the jumpers. Is that the commercial decision they would be taking about?

 

[coivtny]

Blowing up the whole club because of the colour of a jersey is just peak WT’s I mean seriously. And if you support this sort of sh1t go & get effed.

Allegedly.

I quit my Membership of Wests Magpies the last time, no not when Julie got shown the door, the big one where it was first reported that Dennis & Co wanted to "bring back the Magpies".
I'm a legacy Magpie fan, having followed them from the age of 4 (I'm 58 next week) BUT I'm ashamed that people associated with the Mighty Magpies are destroying any chance of success for the Wests Tigers.

A board has a responsibility to act in the best interests of the organisation. Clearly there’s an unresolvable conflict of interest at WT and PVL needs to fix it.

I almost hope that the NRL withdraw our licence to operate a football team because HBG are totally incompetent and embarrasing.

dennis is angry no black jersey
lol
what a crap show

 

[Tigerdazz2]

To be honest, I've always considered the white jersey to be more of a nod to the Magpies.

My last badge.....no more until the dinosaurs are extinct.

Makes complete sense. White for the pies and orange for the tigers. We both shared the black.

Allegedly? really

That’s the problem. I’m not sure PVL has any real power to fix. The best power, if he has it, would be to strip the licence off HBG and put the club up for sale to a private bidder. I doubt he has that power, though.

 

[hammertime]

What absolute COWARDS. They've made the HBG CEO stand up and do the video, when it was not his decision.

 

[cochise]

Who here is a members of Wests Ashfield?
We need to start preparing our takeover bid of the board

You can't take it over.

 

[coivtny]

Yeh really. It means the colour of the jersey was allegedly part of the problem for HBG. If you know more than that, then share with the class.

 

[oldschooltiger]

Don't be surprised if Richardson walks away. And Benji gets sacked

 

[Tigerdazz2]

To be honest, I've always considered the white jersey to be more of a nod to the Magpies.

Western Suburbs usually only wore the white jersey in the early rounds of the season when temperatures are still pretty warm. It was more a player comfort thing than anything.

He seems like a guy who’s not afraid of a stink. And HBG seem like the old drunk bloke getting swept out with the cigarette butts.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

While I can easily believe it was about the jerseys, we don't have solid evidence......YET.

Still, HBG members need to shaft Dennis at least, that would be a good start.

 

[Ecto-1]

Boycott any licensed club connected to Wests Tigers. Don’t give them a cent of your money. Germs.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I will never enter a venue owned by them again.

 

[Tom Shines]

The HBG Board is not controlled by the members from what I understand …there is this group of “debenture holders “ that make all the calls …and they are all in Dennis’s pocket .,, he is going nowhere

They can't mate with this debenture rubbish. That whole structure is the root of problem

 

[Lestronge]

I’m now convinced that these MF’s at HBG have a long term plan and that they are sabotaging the TIGERS brand on purpose with an end game plan to bring back the Magpies brand as the whole picture is starting to become clear and there is truth to the banned directors claim. It only makes sense that they are trying to make the Tigers brand so toxic and the NRL has to kill it and rebrand.

The faithful boys made a good point about eats tigers attempting a hostile takeover. I’d be all for that . The club couldn’t move even if it wanted to and east’s would have commercial ownership of an nrl franchise , which they’ve been gearing towards for a long time . Anything but HBG..
