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
