HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

So does anyone know how much HBG put into wests tigers last year? Funding seems to be a big issue now, surely those who claim its too low would know the current figure.

Hmmm, not sure looking at the balance sheet tells the whole story. Like I'd rather see 1 million spent under Richo than 5 million spent under Pascoe. Extra money with the wrong person in charge just gets invested into barber shops and too many Scott Fultons getting 250k and leaking about Aidan Sezer. Steve Noyce was better for us as CEO because he understood grassroots footy clubs, far better than super corporate Stephen Humphries who ruined our salary cap and couldn't lie straight in bed.

Same with amount of people at a club. Any more than 4 opinions in a meeting, they start to take...

I do from time to time. I along with anyone else admitting to also being a Magpies member were blocked from Kelly Hollis group.

She likes her views to be fully supported. When you don't agree with her, she removes you.

Rather like this childish petition to the board, that's a stench of dictatorship

So you agree that a fully functional leagues club should have it's elected board removed and removed with a non elected board?

Ever considered a move to North Korea?

And please explain why you think Barnier is a suitable candidate? Please can you explain his resignation as CEO of Opal Group?

Last year hasn't been released yet.

2023 $1.5m

2024 $1.7m

Some Magpies fans have said they HBG wanted to increase it last year but Richo said no.

Cheers Ink. I missed that.

So $1.8 million isn't a small amount, less than some clubs but probably more than others.

If a club can't make a go of it when they get close to $20mill in grants from its owners and governing body the maybe the board / management arnt up to scratch. I'd be suggesting that to PVL when asked why the board was removed.

Now this isn't me backing HBG's group actions but it's another angle to look at things.

Barely covers the salary of 2 players.

NRL and the Wests Tigers provide the majority of funds to the Wests Tigers.

Sponsorship, merch, ticketing all far outstrip the owners contribution.

The player salary comparison was an indication of how much they are contributing.

That doesn't diminish the amount. $20mill in grants should be enough to run the club before they even have to lift a finger in raising funds themselves.
I think this funding issue is just like 'they're brining back the magpies' and. ' we won't have a club in a couple of years'.

What did you call it? A distraction tactic?

The real issue is how they run the club and that should be the focus.

I'd agree if others weren't starting at $25-30m. If $1.7m is significant, so is being behind $5m.

This is why the other day I was asking for a list of what other owners put in? You seem to know what every other club gets. Let's get the comparisons up.

I doubt the private owners (penns etc) are putting in $5 to $10 million a year.
 
Whilst a few self interested types are bleating to this empty thread from their shakey podcast pulpit, the squad continues to prepare for our round 2 start.
I’m interested to watch the narrative of this thread change as we progress into the season.…especially if this years squad are as successful as I’m predicting they will be.

I have the feeling that Darcy Byrne will attempt to set off a bomb right before our first game.

I’m hoping we will be very successful this year , top 8 for me , BUT it will have nothing to do with HBG , this year after what happened in December is on the team and coaches , not even our new interim CEO will have impact on this team , We were a complete unit in November led by Richo and the independent board , coaches , sponsors , medical the lot then along come HBG and blew it up , it took the CEO of the NRL to sort it out and lay down the law , even good old Dennis couldn’t hold his spot due to some very poor leadership from HBG , top 8: hear we come , thanks PVL for helping out

What happens this year is already predetermined by work completed over the past couple of years. What happened this preseason alone will hold little to no bearing. Decisions made to bring talent to this club - which will be what makes this season a success, will hold most of the weight.
How they perform in big games will be the deciding factor attributed to coaching.

Bulldogs put in $9m in 2024.

I think they will be successful, that makes the HBG decision to remove those responsible for the first improvement at the club in a decade even poorer.
