HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[cochise]

Well ..it’s not the headline complaining about …it’s two paragraphs in

The story doesn't have to a true reflection of the situation to serve its purpose for the media. In fact saying it's Balmain v the Magpies probably draws more people in.

It's a shame some of the media don't interview or talk to people with a better understanding of the situation.

It feeds this fictional battle between the ears in some fans heads.

Yes ..and I’m glad that you and others speak out about it …

Yes …which doesn’t help us … a lot still seem to think this is some struggle between two evenly matched forces for control of the club ..the Wests and Balmain clubs…in reality one has all the power and the other is pretty much dead

 

[BAGNF05]

Yes …which doesn’t help us … a lot seem to think this is some struggle between two evenly matched forces for control of the club ..

It’s now a battle of two cohorts. Wests Tigers fans and HBG apologists. There is no other group.

We need more than 1000.

Mark my words, if we don’t achieve something here we’ll lose Richo, Luai, Bula & Benji this year.

Minimum five more years in the wilderness.

its more than ,if we may loose those players now , think about the tomorrows, the satisfaction of corrupting the Grand kids into believers

There was nothing defamatory in that statement

Email HBG and tell them they can put it back up then.

 

[liltiger]

My memory is that Wests Campbelltown didn’t want to keep paying 10 percent of the bills back when the Football club was broke … i don’t recall them and HBG having specific issues … Maybe I’ve just forgotten .,,it was a long time ago….

Your right Tom, there was never anything concrete that came out, though there were always rumblings that they would butt heads with them.

Those questions need answers, before the Wests Tigers descend further. Whether O’Farrell or anyone else would bother torching money seeking Supreme Court injunctions about this stuff is hypothetical – who’d want to risk further damage to their reputation by seeking to stay in the tent?
But assuming that Wests Magpies can issue a notice to remove an independent director, where that notice has proper legal effect, that then leads back to the fundamental question as to why anyone would want to be an independent director at all.

Appointing independent and expert directors to the boards of sporting clubs and franchises serves several governance, risk-management and performance-enhancement purposes. In modern sports administration — especially in professional leagues — the role of the board has expanded well beyond ceremonial oversight.
Independence and expertise help ensure the organisation is governed in a commercially robust way, ethically sound and strategically forward-looking.
If the majority shareholder of the Wests Tigers is intent on creating a set-up like this, why would anyone with the required expertise and nous want to waste it on joining in on the pantomime?

After reading this I cannot see how HBG havnt breached the agreement they made when implementing the independant directors. If this is accurate then Wests Tigers should be calling in lawyers.

🏦 Acquiring a Holman Barnes Group Debenture​

Holman Barnes Group (HBG), which operates Wests Ashfield Leagues Club and other venues, has a limited debenture system that is primarily linked to the club's governance and the appointment of a majority of its Board of Directors.

How to Obtain a Debenture​

Becoming a Debenture Holder is not an open application process but typically follows these steps:

1. Limited Number: There is a constitutional maximum of 20 Debenture Holders at any time.
2. Expressions of Interest (EOI): As debentures become available (due to a vacancy), the HBG Board calls for Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified General Members to fill the opening.
3. Qualifications:The Group seeks General Members with a commitment to the club's culture and purpose, and expertise in areas such as:
   • Financial acumen
   • Strategic planning
   • Business risk assessment
   • Community engagement/networks
   • Project management
4. Selection and Appointment: A Debenture Holder Selection and Review Committee (which reports to the Board) is established to identify and recommend suitable candidates based on the recruitment criteria. The Board then appoints the new Debenture Holder.
5. Prerequisite: You must first be an eligible General Member of the Holman Barnes Group (Wests Ashfield, Croydon Sports, or Markets Club).

When Debentures Become Available​

A debenture only becomes available when one of the existing 20 Debenture Holders resigns or a vacancy otherwise arises.

• The process is not on a fixed schedule, but the Debenture Holder Selection and Review Committee often meets between March and June each year to review and recommend candidates if any vacancies exist.
• Ad hoc vacancies that arise outside of this period can also lead to the Board calling for Expressions of Interest.

The debenture system is a historical part of the club's constitution, which initially secured funds for the club's establishment. A key feature of the system is that five of the seven Board positions must be filled by individuals holding a debenture, giving Debenture Holders significant influence over the Group's direction.


Would you like me to search for the current membership application details for the Holman Barnes Group, as being a General Member is the first step?

Funny cause I'm pretty sure Danny doesn't meet any of that criteria.
