Breaking news: HBG takeover

[Vicious]

Hahaha what ? Thats not applicable to anything that’s been posted the last 2 pages by you . Thats soo manipulative . Thats a borderline personality disorder move right there . Shift the narrative to imply you’re the reasonable one . I’m assuming you’re going to delete or change your last couple of posts now ?
I’m not even going to reply to that post … because it’s nonsense and my position in how active I’ve been these last couple of days is clear . You’re being soo transparent now that you realise who and what it is you’re speaking to … coward

I am not the one who has been openly degrading people including the elderly, think before you speak and have a bit of respect.

 

[Lestronge]

Yep exactly....but some people are that spiteful if they cant have what they want then others not having what others want make them feel better.
Misery merchants the lot of em

Im sure many old magpies like myself are embarrased and ashamed of whats happening.
I feel like ive been conned, swindled and ripped off by the club I used to support

My old man and his mates at Ashy pub were right...WA didnt give a shit about the football club in the 70s and they dont now

What did they use to say mate ? What was the vibes ? I’ve never heard this rhetoric before .

I’m done with you. You’ve revealed yourself . That’s all I wanted . To goad you into dropping the act … I knew you were a wolf in sheep’s clothing . Go away now …
This supposed lefty is going to bed with a win …..

You fail to understand there would be no Wests Tigers without the hard yards from the working class people involved with Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies for a long period of time.
Your disrespect to the so called old people who made this all possible is atrocious.
INobody on this forum is calling for Wests Magpies to return, nobody on this forum is overly worried by Ann orange jersey, nobody on this forum really cares if the HBG are removed, so what is your problem ?
PVL is now investing the circumstances surrounding the recent events, he will sort it out, so what is your problem ?

The problem is you’ve been nothing but a bad faith shitstain who talks out of both sides of his mouth. You swallowed everything HBG said yet refused to engage in an honest debate despite being shown undeniable proof that at least one of the claims were BS while having the audacity to claim you’re open minded. You’re just another arrogant geriatric who doesn’t have a [This word has been automatically removed]ing clue yet feels the need to spew his nonsense on here.

Nicely done. Suspected he was just another septuagenarian.

You have once again jumped on a bandwagon which is no problem if that’s what you choose to do, but you constantly attack and ridicule anyone who does not conform to the masses and that is not acceptable in any shape or form.
Nobody other than those in the inner circle know if there was a genuine reason for the board members being dismissed, yet you want to carry on and ridicule anyone who states they are reserving their judgment until concrete evidence has been produced.
Not even diehard Wests Magpies supporters will support the HBG if they are proven to have done the wrong thing, so why ridicule anyone who chooses to wait for concrete evidence to be produced ?
PVL is on the case, he will sort it out.

Your demeanour does not fit the description of a true original Balmain Tigers fan that’s for certain.

It’s a great meme .

claws out , thought they were/still are best jerseys in a while - modern, flash , hbg are donkeys

No, dipshit, you exposed yourself when you kept parroting Praton claims despite being asked repeatedly how there was a lack of communication with HBG when they had two representatives on the board, including the chairman. You repeatedly refused to answer and then started talking out of both sides of your mouth because you did exactly what you’ve always done on here which is run your mouth without thinking.

No one cares what you deem to be acceptable as you have done nothing but lie and be bad faith. Like HBG, you’re an embarrassment and poor reflection on the club and we’ll be better for it when you’ve [This word has been automatically removed]ed off elsewhere.

That’s because I’m a Wests Tigers fan, you braindead dinosaur. Something you wouldn’t understand.

Why would you ask me or anyone else to clarify what Paton stated, he’s the one stating it, nobody else.
You choose to believe he’s telling lies, good on you, but doesn’t mean anyone else has to conform to your views.
What are you going to do if PVL finds that there was an acceptable reason for the board members dismissals ?

 

[liltiger]

If it gets to a point where Richo leaves and the nrl doesn't respond then we are truly stuffed

If Richo walks with or without N.R.L help were stuffed imo. He's made mistakes but in his around 2 years he started turning the place around, if he leaves, being one of the most experienced operators in the game, who would want to takeover, any operator we get will just be a slave to HBG and what they want, no one of any decent standing would do that.

And now you’re trying to gaslight. You really are a lying sack of shit, aren’t you.

whats the diff , A sqweak or a peek. You 2 of to the Cowgirls if ,the sky , sky ,is falling.
Hands up , everybody say ho

 

[liltiger]

What's the chances Richo does leave?

Every day that passes with radio silence others see as a bad omen but I see it the complete opposite, he could be in the background working behind the scenes to try and sort this garbage out with HBG or with the N.R.L / N.S.W liquor and gaming. He could be negotiating a payout with HBG to leave quietly but I couldn't see him needing to do that. I think he's too smart and would have stipulated his terms for being CEO. I'm hopefull that if he was going to go he would have done it today and is working behind the scenes trying to resolve this mess. I could be way off the mark though but he's been around way too long and we cannot afford to lose him. He is the most valuable thing at Wests Tigers. Even if we need to start another rebuild from scratch he's done it plenty and knows what needs to be done. If he goes were anchored to the bottom 2 for another decade.

Lying about what ?
You think you can bully people into conforming to your views, that’s not how it works.
You fail to admit you have no idea if Paton’s comments are true or not,
If Paton’s comments turn out to be true, that does not mean you or anyone else have to be happy with HBG involvement. There is no problem if you or anyone else’s want to see HBG gone for the better of the club moving forward, but the point is you want to bully and fail to acknowledge you do not have any concrete evidence at this stage to know if Paton’s comments are true or not.
I have not tried forcing anyone to believe his comments are true, you do not have the right to force anyone to believe his comments are not true until proven otherwise.

The question is how are they independent if they were chosen by HBG and can be removed by HBG? There's nothing independent about it. You can't vote out the debenture holders...that's the source of the problem entirely.

No one decent would want to work under the present conditions and with our track record.

This will not only affect our ability to recruit decent management, it will absolutely affect our ability to sign players...we're back where we started prior to the positive changes over the last 18 months.

As the viewpoint of an outsider, I remember saying about a decade ago that the owners don’t care about winning football games.
They enjoy the prestige of owning a club and the traffic that funnels into their hospitality network.
Some of them hold fantasies of a Magpie resurgence but it’s not their primary driver I suspect.
It must still be a positive strategic decision otherwise a smart operator would have sold the joint ages ago.
