HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[NT_Tiger]

Unfortunately for you mate it does seem the magpies are finally in control !

The NRL has stated that the Wests Tigers are the club entity now and into the future. To some extent, it is irrelevant that the magpies are in control except that they are responsible to ensure sound governance.
I wouldn't be skiting about the magpies being 'finally in control', as recent events demonstrate. In reality, it is 'unfortunate' for anyone who supports Wests Tigers.

 

[Vicious]

You're still unable to provide an answer.

What was the reason?

I’ve explained It about 400 times, I’m not explaining it anymore.

 

[hank37w]

Nothing happened to p them off, they just woke up one morning and decided it was a good day to remove a few people from the board,
Is that more believable?

Yeah, I can go with that one.

Clowns. 🤡

If people continue to live in the past we will never progress and be successful.

What Richo did wasn’t a terrible misjudgment it actually showed the true colors of those involved at the top for all to see.

They have zero interest in the Wests Tigers being successful.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t sell their 90%. Do they think having Wests Tigers on the books gives them some level of kudos? Or a path to dovetail Magpies closer to re-entry?
Maybe Albo could step up with a social cohesion grant of $2k to buy out the debentures?

A number of hot topics decisions that have been made without them knowing about it has been reported a number of times.
It’s not even a secret, but many people still want to turn a blind eye to it.
They did not wake up one morning with no previous issues or concerns and thought it was a nice day to remove some board members,
As I’ve alluded to their actions were irrational and misguided, but there were issues and things that should not have happened that led to it.

That was rebuked by the people who were sacked, reinstated, and were there!
It was and still is about control - start and finish.
Now they have it we will see what decisions they make with it.
First one extending Benji for five years...

We keep hearing things like your "hot topic decisions," what exactly are they?

All we ever get is these types of vague references, constantly clutching at straws hoping to justify their unjustified dismissal of the Independent Directors.

And Parramatta had their board dissolved by LGA for financial fraud and salary cap cheating but that didn't effect their NRL grant

The NRL are the major financial contributor to WTs. Most supporters would welcome the NRL exploring the best opportunity for the WTs' franchise including have potential owners submit their plans for the club's future including a mandatory significant increase in the grant from $1.4m.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

On this one V'landys appears to have completely stuffed up and looks to have completely misunderstood what the issue actually is.

Maybe I am the one that has misunderstood what he has done here, because as others have said, it looks as though he has made things worse or has he just given HBG enough rope to hang themselves.

He did what had to be done to diffuse the situation without having to do anything much at all.

 

[cktiger]

You don’t understand.
CEO’s and ones with the experience of Richo get a certain amount of delegation and leeway to make decisions that do not need to reach board level.
That’s fantastic, but the respectful thing to do is still discuss things you know will likely upset the 90% shareholders.

You go down the same path ad infinitum without providing a shred of evidence to back up your assertions.
Can't you see how annoying that is?
If you have any proof to back up your accusations that the jersey or stadium decisions were made solely by Richo, without the boards knowledge, then spit it out.

 

[cochise]

Is that more believable?

With the power hungry history of the HBG I 100% believe that this is nothing more than a power grab.

Ok well keep running with the agenda that nothing was done to p them off and they just decided to cause the uproar for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

 

[cktiger]

Nah
This one:

The Broncos colours are Imperial purple and deep lemon... that is an abomination.

Rightly or wrongly it was a power grab due to a number of circumstances that led them to b peed off,
This is the part many people including yourself know is true, but for some reason do not want to acknowledge.
Removing the board members was wrong, but some of the circumstances that led to them making this type of irrational decision were also wrong.

Power and control - why can't you get that?

They didn't/ dont support the independent review weeded out the ones that did and now they have control - and tried to spin a story to the gullible that laid blame elsewhere while hiding their true motivation for blowing up the board.
You are with them on this or you are not. Trying to lay blame at those caught in the cross fire is not on.

I'm not running with any agenda.
I don't know the full story ... just like everybody else on here.
You're the one harping on about what happened without one single fact to back you up... or are you Denny in disguise?
The only true fact is that HBG have been incompetent in their running of the team ever since they took control.

And here’s something that comes from someone who does matter at both Western Subs & Wests Ts (unlike the click bait Suzie posted the other day)

This one is worth posting - although won’t garner much interest here as it doesn’t fit the anti Western Subs narrative 🥴

Media noise they created!!!
No accountability for the crap but wants to pat themselves on the back for the good work the previous board set up.

 

[mtd#2]

I’ve explained it over and over again.
If anyone doesn’t understand or doesn’t want to understand it’s now too late as it’s now old news.

You've put forward theories based on your feelings. This doesn't equate to explaining a single thing that actually took place.

You continue to point the finger at Richo as being the ringleader for everything wrong with the Tigers. You claim he was intentionally sneaky and hiding things from the board.

But you still can't answer these questions after 400 pages:
1. Why wasn't Richo sacked?
2. Why were the 4 independents sacked if Richo was the one keeping everything from everyone?
3. Why weren't the 2 HBG board members sacked if they attended all board meetings and failed to communicate back to HBG?

400 pages of you and others unable to answer these direct questions

Here are some terms I suggest becoming familiar with:

Dogmatic: Someone who states their beliefs as if they are absolute truths, regardless of facts or counter-arguments. They often rely on "because I said so" logic.

Sophistry: A person using "sophistry" is a sophist. They use clever but false arguments that seem plausible on the surface but crumble when you ask for specific details or facts.

Kicking the boot into Suzie again for highlighting the mentality we are dealing with from (some of) the magpies?

How sensitive are you princess?

Plus the board vis the CEO after the sackings said that Richo and Benji had the full support of the board.
So the board members did nothing wrong - reinstated
Richo did nothing wrong - full support of the board
And yet here we are
Dysfunctional administration of the highest order over to many years.
