HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[hank37w]

I am confident now that something like this will not happen again because they can see what the ramifications are,” V’landys said

How can it happen again?

HBG can just go on their merry way and do what ever they want with their majority, no need to sack any of the independents because they now effectively have no power and no say to do anything.

If anything, I can see independents walk away frustrated knowing they can do very little.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yep. I'm not satisfied with this outcome.
They got a slap on the wrist by PVL - no way they rehire OFarrell and the independents unless they were forced to. But increasing the size of HBG's representation -( makes sense if the governance structure was performance and skilled base - )but we know what we get and keep and so I can't support more of the same by not showing up to the march on the back of the latest development.

I’m not satisfied either … so we continue

Why hasn’t Richo been offered his job back if the independent’s and big bad Barry are coming back?

Chammas said the nrl has no desire to get richo back, but im not sure what bridges he burnt

 

[Tom Shines]

Is it a march? Or a gathering? Or a rally? Where are you marching to? Have the streets been blocked off?

Stop bleating

 

[Fraze23]

It's not enough, we are pretty much back to where we were before the review. We need an independent majority.

We're in a worse position than before, now HBG hold majority on the Wests Tigers board. HBG must go. The club needs one owner.

 

[The Chad]

The rally is the start

Are the new board members turning up? Anyone from HBG?

 

[Merlot]

I admire that you still have hope

a 1/2 glass full is better than none

 

[Fraze23]

Idk, I’ve seen a lot of posts to the contrary lately. People saying the club should be bought when it’s not even for sale.

Who is it owned by though? A bunch of dinosaurs who hold a $100 debenture and won't relinquish any control?

I get the club not being for sale line. But I'm not okay with it being controlled by a small group that aren't accountable to anyone other than themselves.

Chammas said 48 hours ago said it was all over and HBG had won

Then why would the independents come back at all? Doesn't that seem strange? They must know what they are stepping into.

I'm guessing Richo is the fall guy and the actual target in this whole mess

And Marshall will be laughing all the way to the bank. Who’s his manager? He’s not the one behind all of this is he?

 

[weststigers]

No I cannot.

Can you explain why everywhere you see Wests Ashfield or Wests Tigers written about- they refer to the majority owners being HBG?

Thought experiment.

If the Australian government owns something. Does the government own it? Or the people just give whoever is in government the power to administer it?

If the government was mismanaging that asset, and you couldn't vote the government out, would your stance be the same?

The principles you are basing everything on is simply ownership related to name on title. The second layer to that, which you never address, is how ownership and control differ depending on the type of structure used to incorporate.

I'd agree with you while heartedly if it was a privately owned entity, but it's not in this case here.

 

[TurnStyle]

Now need a HBG member who is a woman, that is fine, happy to have extra females on the board, but I wonder who that could be? *begin sarcasm* Do we happen to know any female debenture holder who is female? Hmmm. *end sarcasm*

You mean Burgess?

 

[Harvey]

Thanks bro

Reviewing policy lol its up to their discretion.

What was your vibe on the bloke?

Seemed genuine.

Sounded fairly knockabout and could hold a conversation.

Didn't push back on me sharing HBG opinions, but was keen to bring the conversation back to the football side of things and the positivity around that.

He has had success under dysfunctional ownership in previous roles.

 

[Merlot]

non of my bizzo , take it LeStronge is in the cooler , who was he chatting with ,when he fused out?

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I work for a huge multinational. We are an acquiring company. And that is how they do it.

Here's an offer to sell, interested?

Is the huge multinational in the room with us right now?

Wait, so the new CEO is randomly texting members?

 

[The Chad]

Yep.
We would find another owner in a heart beat.
They don't contribute alot either, most of it comes from the NRL

Sweet.

That's what you go the NRL with. Here's a better option.

And right now, they contribute more than any other 'owners'...

The Wests Tigers owners contribute the least funds of any of the 17 clubs owners
