Agree Jolls, the fact that he disclosed should mean the right processes were in place.

Richo is not a member of the board, as CEO as long as he discloses the conflict of interest he can be involved in the decision making, however he would need to follow proper governance and ensure that he is not making the decisions in isolation and once the board were made aware of the conflict...

I honestly have no beef with HBG running and owning the WT, what I do take issue with is the dysfunctional HBG board. If they get rid of the debenture system and adopt the same model as other clubs where there is more accountability to members than I'm happy.

I too was a bit concerned with the relationship, however it looks like he disclosed it to the the board prior to accepting the role. If there were "inflated" payments, favorable terms etc... than that is something that would be untenable and lead to his sacking no questions asked.

I am on a few NFP boards and have formal board certification...Boards are not meant to be involved in day to day operational matters, they are more focused and responsible for governance, compliance and strategy. All board members are personally liable for the decisions they make and the...

tight as a ducks behind

My read is he is referencing all the infighting and lack of unity as a JV which has contributed to the poor performance. As long as we stay WT and continue to pay homage to our shared history than I'm all for him owning the lot.

perhaps this is a ploy to destroy Dennis Burgess...as he was the HBG representative on the WT board, and he is the chair of HBG.....could another coup be on the cards? BOF's comment that there are people looking to make their way up the ladder at HBG could explain this.

Board members do not have indemnity. It is the board members responsibility to request all the information they need to make the correct decision. There is board member insurance, however this protects them only from any financial impact. They can be excluded from sitting on a board as a...

HBG are a board tasked with managing a licenced club....Liquor and Gaming can demand the information from both parties in regards to the case.

I doubt independence would have included the ability to sell an asset owned by the parent company. I think independence meant that they did not want to get sign off for recruiting players and staff, for getting jerseys approved, for signing new sponsors etc.... I can tell you for a fact (dont...

Black is quite slimming though.......some don't mind the heat in order to look a bit more svelte;)....as a playing jersey, yes I agree, probably something you might wear in the back half of the season.

Its a 10 min walk for me..i will be there and i am busy recruiting others.

so they didn't know about the Jersey before it was released...even though it was in the media and socials for weeks before...or they didn't know about the stadiums deal until it was released...even though it was discussed ad nauseum for months. Was it the signing of Taylan May? Based on...

They made the decision to sack the independent directors as actions they undertook serving as a board for a licenced business...the actions don't have to be related to outcomes within the licenced premises...rather it is related to the potential incompetence of the board or decision making from...

Whilst I am extremely disappointed about the direction taken with the recent sackings and I totally agree that the HBG needs an extreme overhaul, what I will say is that most of the pieces of the current roster were put together before the independent directors came in...so i don't think it is...

count me in!

Assuming Galvin still thinks the grass is greener. I Dont expect his time at the dogs lived up to his expectations...i know the fans did not get what they expected.

With his height he needs to be careful how he tackles, if he tries to put a big hit on it could end in sin bin or suspension I.e. NAS

Wow, never heard so much positive consensus on this forum (other than for a win). I will add my like to the feedback!
