You'd better be careful wt.
I got a suspension from here for simply asking a poster "are you Jewish" in a non-threatening way and gave that poster the reason I was asking.

To even raise that post today, shows what sort of person you are. You used a Jewish stereotype to try to insult me.

Why you would want to raise that again today really shows that you have no self-awareness. To be honest you should be banned again.

Why should anyone trust that when a group of 20 people get to make those decisions, pretty much the same 20 that have been involved for years?

I am willing to give it one last chance to work based on the fact I believe they will be terrified of deliberately doing anything wrong and facing the ramifications being threatened by PVL.
To me that is the sensible common sense approach before throwing all of our toys out of the cot.
Do you honestly think it will help our new acting CEO, our coach or our players if their is continued angst from our fans even if everything is above board and done correctly at board level moving forward ?
And I don’t mean the selection of who is on our independent board. Yes I agree it would be a much better look if the the balance of power is with true independent board members, however I’m sure the independent board members we have will make it known and likely have PVL’s permission to call him if they are seeing anything unfair or corrupt happening moving forward.
If anything unfair or corrupt happens at board level moving forward, then yes every fan should have the right to say enough is enough and you will not see me defending HBG if that is the case.
At the moment we have many fans just hoping there will be more trouble just to prove their predictions to be correct.

Surely you can understand why others are not willing to give them that chance

Haha I laughed when I read his excuse.... And I think he's a knob... but in his defence... A few months back I had to do a cleanout on my insta account. There were a few meme pages I followed that I can only assume were purchased by only fans creators to promote their content. So if one was to look at who I followed, it may have appeared somewhat similar (in saying that it was about 5 accounts as opposed to 200). So there could be some merit to his defence.

Yeah.... but unless you're the chair of a multi-million dollar community organisation that really should consider public image, then it's a little different!

That would have been a fair approach five seasons ago but time after time HBG have shown they’re inept and can’t be trusted.

It’s not the fault of fans that they’re fed up and frustrated with the continual lack of leadership and progress, that lies fair and square with HBG directors and debenture holders.

Most fans would prefer to not even think about the owners, they just want to watch footy and follow a successful team but HBG keep putting themselves front and centre of this shit show and the self serving justifications show no awareness or respect for the average WT fan.

It’s up to HBG to appease the fans, not the other way around. Stacking the board with a HBG majority is tone deaf, they need to do better to stop ongoing protests.

Better to talk to a rock bud,
I like that no matter what those guys do, it’s not questioned - ever.

Rick Wayde been there for a gazillion years, longer than the rest of them - gone, no bother.
The cricketer - Simon cook, Romero and the others, out of sight out of mind.

Then these blokes will bang on about what a big deal Ashfield is, and how well it’s doing…
Wouldn’t the dozen or so people they’ve speared in the last couple years have had something to with that?

Why is there no regard for all the discards, and a blind faith in those that remain, who’ve done nothing?
It beggars belief.

@Vicious, @BZN - why is it?
You blokes answer to the call of reason less than Ashfield do…

I agree with this but it only takes a few individuals to reignite the acrimony and dissension. As long as that level of dissension exists, the Wests Tigers will continue to flounder. It appears that some board members know this and are happy to encourage it for their own sad reasons.
There are a couple of posters on this forum that agree with that aim. It would not surprise me if they are very closely aligned with the board.
I agree with others that Vlandys, or someone capable of taking this further, needs to have an in depth look at Wests Tigers governance and intervene. The evidence is pretty clear, WT have gone from making gains with an independent board, to taking two steps back as a result of an ownership action that is yet to be explained.
To me it is clear, the current ownership either does not have the best interests of Wests Tigers as their guiding principle or are incompetent. It is as simple as that, and is what the NRL or other body needs to look at and change. Otherwise we will remain as also-rans and a feeder club for organisations that have competent and committed leadership.

Agreed,

Although I am still not sure if this is a Magpies vs Balmain pissing contest. Why? the two decisions:
Something about the orange colour on the Jersey.

The board not relaying key decisions to HBG, the biggest decision the board has taken was Campbelltown Stadium upgrade at 50m.


I really think it's Wests Ashfield going "stuff C'town".

If PVL thinks giving them a warning is the right way to go, I’m listening to him.

Sorry but I want the structure that got us moving forward, not the one that has us going backwards for a decade.

So you don’t trust that PVL knows what he is doing ?
I agree the previous structure would be ideal, but if we do not get that and PVL does not intervene, that would mean he is ok with it based on the guidelines he put in place.
