HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

cochise said:
Im happy to trust the 2 gentlemen that conducted the review and their recommendations for change at the club.

Recommendations that were having a positive effect on this footy club.

I say no to a HBG majority board.

Do you believe the 2 gentlemen who conducted the review know more about running rugby league clubs than what PVL would know ?

You just agreed with everything I wrote.
If Wests hadn’t coupled with Balmain, there were other options. And had they been left without a chair when the music stopped, I’m sure they’d have gone through the courts (given the history of 1983-85).

Souths stood their ground and Balmain blinked.

Accept that and move on ...

I would if everything you wrote was true.
Wests didn’t have the support or the money to go through the courts.
They were shot ducks.

I can only go on the history mate. It was obvious for a long time there were issues in the club so we sought a review.

That review conducted by very qualified people found that there were serious governance issues at the club and made a list of recommendations.

When those recommendations were mostly implemented, the ckub actually started to make measurable improvements across a wide variety of indicators for the first time in over a decade of failure.

The HBG who were found to be an issue in the review, then decided that they would blow that up and return to controlling the club.

Im really sorry but I'm not ok with that. These guys are not owners, they are custodians of our club and they have failed in that role.

I won't stand by and watch them continue to destroy the club.

It is not their club, it is our club.

I'd offer my take but it might not be in your best interests..
 
The Chad said:
Thank you.

To my point- we don't know how HBG would have been going forward.

The NRL negotiated a compromise it seems. If they hadn't, at no point had HBG actually said they disagreed with the independent board member structure- just that the board hadn't been transparent with them (not debating the validity of that here). There is a CHANCE that HBG might have hired independents to the board themselves.

We simply do not know for sure.

We don't, but we can make an educated judgement based on previous decisions and the lack of communication from HBG.

HBG allowing a properly independent board would be just as likely as Vladamir Putin announcing a free and open election tomorrow and following through.

I don’t agree with a lot of your opinions, but nobody can doubt your love for Wests Tigers or dedication to a cause you believe in.
I won’t be attending Saturdays march/rally and that’s not disrespecting what you or any other passionate Wests Tigers fan believes in.
It’s obvious to me you genuinely believe in the cause you are fighting for and I think the vast majority of people on this forum also genuinely believe in the cause they are fighting for, so you all have my support and respect even though I don’t necessarily agree with you.
All I ask is to please further investigate the terms and guidelines that have been instructed by PVL and I assume agreed to be the returning independent board members.
Do we genuinely know if Benji and the players are happy for continued supporter angst or if they would prefer the clubs supporters try to get past their boardroom issues for the good of the rugby league team moving forward ?

Believe me mate, I've had conversations around that today.

I respect the tone on your message.

Those that oppose HBG don’t trust them. They could flick Benji and pay him out in 6 months.

I would love it if Balmain left … they are nothing more than “useful idiots “ for HBG and contribute nothing

Being on the Balmain side, I feel like I married a rich woman and when we got divorced took her for everything she had including the naming rights!

Mmmmmmmmmm……… while Wests Magpies have to just keep funding it forever. Delicious.

You and Chad continue to question the opinions of people calling for HBG power to go.

You talk about us not being close enough to it. OK...let's explore that for a second.

What do you say to the independent company that conducted the independent review last year and made the exact recommendations people are calling for now?

They were there. They know more than us. They interviewed everyone on all sides. Probably investigated more than PVL did yesterday I'd say. What do you say to that?

As I said earlier …the Wests Tigers receive the least amount of funding in the comp from their owners …its like your ex Wife would be buying your clothes at Big W..
