Sometimes the most obvious answer, is the correct answer.

They did not like not being in control of the club so they took back the power. They smeared Richo on the way out with a strategic leak to make their position stronger. They know they can act with impunity and they couldn't care less what fans think.

They’re not that bright because a bad football team with no fans is worth two fifths of f$&k all

Yeah even then, if HBG are paying their bills I still expect nothing from the NRL.

I think where change could/needs to be made is at board level of HBG. It's seems the current HBG is the problem. But those board members aren't the actual owners, they are elected/appointed to the board. Empty stadiums/loss of sponsorship etc might see members to vote for change on the HBG board. Then we can only hope their replacements have an idea.

But that's the issue, isn't it? They're not elected, they hold debentures. How does that get changed?

I'm assuming they would as the article stated yesterday Vlandys was considering appointing an N.R.L administrator, if there were no grounds he wouldn't be able to consider it, I believe there were also breaches by HBG with the way the directors were stood down according to an article posted a few days ago, though I think the only ones who could pursue that would be the directors themselves in the courts which would be costly for a voluntary position which they prob wouldn't do. Who cares though, HBG do whatever they want when they want with their play thing, why bother with the rules. Do whatever needs to be done to get it done.

It seemed like a verybthorough article i think from The Australian by someone who seemed to know whatnhe was talking about...citing clubs sct clauses one of which appeared to state HBG needes NRL approval to dismiss independent board members.

I think thats what it inferred ...i asked the question and @Lestronge agreed with me...but we dont know if they got the reqd.apprival or not

I'm surprised you of all people, a health care worker in the mental health area, didn't step in and try to calm the heat being generated.
I assume you know that the anger being displayed is not good for a person's health.
I assume you know aggression and hate don't get any of us anywhere.
I assume you know that the control of aggression has to be an ongoing learning process for a lot of people.
I also assume that you know aggression doesn't work to bring about a peaceful and happy resolution that lasts.
And last, I assume you know it's gentle honest diplomacy that works best.

Take your dribble back under your bridge.

The reasons you gave are of their supposed vested personal interest, not their interest in the club.
I'm trying to do what Ted Lasso said; be curious, not judgmental.

I can't jump to the only conclusion that they're some sort of maniacal, sadistic group of people with an interest only in power. Surely their decision making must be rooted in a shared mission to drive success.
Surely.
No?
 
This whole saga can now either destroy the club for another decade or maybe for ever, or something good could rise from the ashes. Very hard to be optimistic and while HBG are making the decisions and the chances of this club having any success is zero.

The NRL’s intervention is our only chance, but that may be a legal minefield they may want to keep clear of

You do realise your conversing with a bloke who uses a Balmain fridge magnet for an avatar.
Too funny - oh the hypocrisy 🤣🤣🤣

I just like the retro emblem - I had that card when I was a kid. What's your problem?

I don't come on here whinging about not enough tigers on the sleeve or what have you. You're a disgrace.

Mate read the room and do yourself and everyone else a favour and just find your people somewhere else.

To make an all-encompassing statement like "pathetic human, along with the rest of the people supporting him" I have to assume you know them all personally.

Have no need. The man is a coward and if his Instagram is anything to go by, a perv too. Has destroyed the club and has not fronted the media once. He doesn't measure up against blokes like Shane and Barry and has to knife from the shadows.

Weak and pathetic is what he is.

I'm not giving them my phone number, though. Maybe a registered post letter, so it c an be proven it was received. I don't know. I'm so sad 😞
 
I was born and bred magpie. I grew in Ashfield/Croydon. Went to school in Ashfield. Put a Magpie jersy on for our area code. BUT I'M A Wests Tiger. 2000 was my new club it hurt but not for long. I love the Tigers. I live in WA now and crave to watch them every week in season. I just feel lost what are these dumb F'S doing. Move and let us enjoy our club. No matter how bad we have been. PERTH BEARS ARE STARTING TO LOOK GREAT FOR ME. ONE MORE YEAR. SOUGHT IT OR I'M DONE. AND THAT KILLS ME TO SAY.
 
Given the complexities of this mess I would be prepared to give V'Landys sufficient time to check the legalities before making a move. If he does nothing he's in strife, and if he does something and gets it wrong it goes even worse for him. The quicker the better for all parties involved though.
