Breaking news: HBG takeover

liltiger said:
Independence is independence. We either areor were not, if we're independant then we should be able to make decisions for ourselves based on our best interests, that's what corporate law requires, that a boardroom make decisions in the best interest of the party who's board they're on. Not any other entity.

Absolutely correct.
And if the owners don’t like the decisions being made by the Independents - they get rid of them 👍
 
Front page of Holman Barnes Group:

"Behind the Name​


Beyond their masterful rugby league talents, Keith Holman and Keith Barnes were men of integrity.

They achieved acknowledgement from their respective countries for their contributions both on and off the field. They were men of honour, pride and commitment. They represented the best in their sport and in the game.
We pay homage to their courage and determination, unflagging spirit and ability to bring people together in support of their team.

It’s our desire to harness that same spirit and forge a partnership that will acknowledge them now and for a long time into the future."

What a heap of shit. Keith Barnes would be rolling in his grave at these carnts.

Sounds like Dennis was asleep at that meeting....or wasnt even there...I mean being the HBG rep on the WTs board, youd think thats his job ???

Its been suggested its a HBG furphy...I mean who would publicly admit to something like this, the insecurity, the paranoia, the pettiness, the childishness ...makes them look very very amateur and juvenile

I’m sure Burgess & Epifania would’ve opposed that jersey.
Perhaps they lost the vote but won the war 🤷‍♂️

I don't give a damn about your point. I was laughing at some idiot who puts up a petition without even getting the names right of the entities he is petitioning to remove. But to answer your question - what would they sue them over - having the temerity to enact their right as an owner to sack the board managing their business. Let me say before you go off on another rant that i totally disagree and am disgusted by what HBG have done but legally they have the right to do so if they believe their business is being mismanaged. Do I think its wrong what they have done? - Yep. Do i think it will harm the WT brand into the future? - Yep. Is there anything i can do about it? - nope.

The problem with that is the business was NOT being mismanaged but they finally getting managed properly and some (you can guess who) were scared they would lose power.

The immediate future is going to be nothing but stressful for Richardson. At his age & with some previous small health concerns he’d be crazy not to look at his options.

Unfortunately he can’t just be in cruise control like a few other older fellas like Nick Politis & Wayne Bennett who seem to be a protected species in the NRL world

Plus it’s against the law . And whilst LinkedIn is social media , it has your work and everything about you attached to it . You can ruin your life all for a piece of shit , who I’m guess won’t have too many attend his funeral .

I actually think he would have thousands at his funeral with most people making sure he does not try to climb out of his coffin.

He’s probably re-thinking his claim this job wouldn’t be as challenging as Souths or the Panthers. This club is a beast and eats you whole. It doesn’t matter how who you are.

I mean its all like so long ago. But also. The HBG are lying scum. Just [This word has been automatically removed]1ng nonsense.

If Tommy was alive he wouldn't support this. Footy clubs are about more than victa jerseys and mascots. Do you really think people are going to let Wests Magpies jerseys run out at Leichardt Oval against their will?

Pretty sure everyone was happy with last years jersey 🤷‍♂️

According to Read … they approved it

Incorrect.
According to Read - “Two board members who APPARENTLY voted in line with their Tigers colleagues when it came to stadium strategy and jerseys”

He’s guessing there.
It makes more sense they they were out voted and ran upstairs to dob 🤔
