If HBG are offering compensation, please tell me where to apply.
The thing about footy is that different people have different opinions.
At the end of the day, we did just as bad under Richo as we have under previous CEOs.
At the end of the day, under Richo's tenure we copped a wooden spoon and a 13th with the strongest roster we have had in a long time while losing a few of the best juniors we've had in years.
Parramatta had a laundry list of breaches of the act from directors on the licensed club board. The chair himself waved a white flag and asked the regulator to step in.
HBG standing down directors on the board of a completely different private entity that they own is not the same thing.

Mate, which specific section of the Registered Clubs Act do you believe the Holman Barnes directors have breached by removing directors from Wests Tigers Pty Ltd?
He's absolutely a good and competent CEO. I saw this up close in a past work life. I agree he is not perfect. I saw lots of this too.
Best case scenario would be that he stays.
If he does walk though, there will be no shortage of people wanting the job.
We're going to have to rename Shane Richardson, Icarus - it sounds like he flew too close to the sun and is about to come crashing to ground and bounce through the exit. Booting his supporters on the board is just the first step.
Footy is a weird animal. Maybe the same goes for life? Small...
Someone very senior at another club used to joke with me that "winning is good for business".
Richo can bang on as much as he wants about expanded corporate facilities, but until we start winning on the regular, the only businesses we're attracting are those with a kink for self flagellation.
Hard to believe some people are still blaming the coach after all these years. Fair dinkum, even Ivan Cleary couldn't do much with us.
We're still at the start of a rebuild of the entire club from the ground up.
And Richo's not even a year into undoing years of bad work.
Sketchy membership...
