HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

hammertime said:
It's not a positive at all. HBG have put 5 directors on! Do they think we're idiots? Probably all Debenture holders.

Who are the 5 HBG reps on the Wests Tigers board I thought they only had 2 ?
By still being extremely unhappy after today’s changes which appear to have been directed by PVL, are you saying you think PVL got it wrong ?

So it is starting to sound like HBG were after maybe 2 things to happen-

Either control or an even split of control on the board (I think the 3rd/4th independent board member needs some clarification)

Secondly- the removal of Shane Richardson.

Call them whatever you want, say whatever you like, but an 'owner' wanting a 51% say, or even a 50% say in the running of the club doesn't sound ridiculous

It would seem that Richo was the/a target. Interesting that the NRL left him out of the negotiation.

I hope the new CEO is a good one- I'm thinking Mielekamp is looking likely.

I would also hope that a 4th board member gets added to balance the control. Maybe the weird introduction of Benny Elias from nowhere plays into a board position?

None of this is confirmed, but pieces are falling into place and the smoke is clearing somewhat now.

Oh please ,,, save your theories trying to explain/ justify these dopes… HBG don’t have the smarts to get a root in a brothel with a $1,000 dollars hanging out of their pocket

Mate, they've removed the independence from the independent directors by being able to overvote them. It is the same as just having HBG only on the board.

Don't be fooled mate. It's all games from HBG group again - no idea how PVL is ok with this

I’m not fooled at all! This isn’t the end … keep fighting!

Mate, that's what the whole review was about! That they could not steer the ship and needed to take a backseat.

If these guys were elected by HBG members, then that will be fine, but we now have the same idiotic 20 debenture holders with a firmer grip on WT then they had a few weeks ago.

Why is everyone getting fooled by this?

You say that.

But as it stands they now hold control over the board after PVL stepped in.

And Richo is out.

So it kind of looks like they got their way at this point.

I'm hoping that the olive branch is extended and another independent gets added, or as Demps suggested, one of HBG steps down, to balance the board.

You rage on though if it helps.

You're missing the point

All the good decisions that got through last time won't get through this time.

HBG doesn't need to sack anyone if they have power of the board.

Boardroom drama? No.
Unaccountable incompetence? Yes.

I think you are also missing the point, PVL has publically stated there will be ramifications if there are any further problems.
That has not previously happened.

I’m sure his a good guy with good intent, but still have my doubts of possible HBG
‘Influence’ to reduce the overall loss of membership. That publicised loss of membership is a shocking look for HBG (not that it can look much worse for them)
