HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Tiger-ferret]

If the NRL say they don’t have jurisdiction to intervene you then have the right to be very unhappy and take whatever action you feel is appropriate.
So our appalling record over the past 15 years is solely the blame of HBG, but our improved results last year that everyone keeps mentioning had nothing to do with them ? They are at fault for bad results, but play no part of improved or good results ?

It was still a bad result

And any perceived improvement in administration they just vetoed

 

[crazycat]

Free Membership numbers went through the roof under their leadership …

the club was still losing money under them and the team was a shambles on the field and a joke in the media … I don’t think they improved anything …

I still remember the Pre-Pascoe era.

Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall loaned the club money.
I mean it got that bad.

Yea fair point, maybe Pascoe and co were crap all round. I just know things were getting better and then this BS

Yea it was when the grant wasn’t enough to cover the salary cap I think and operations combined . They had to ask them to hold off on payments because they couldn’t afford it.

Let’s ask old mate @Vicious

What are the highs you think your buddy, Paton, is referring to?

The high of being on a power trip maybe.

On the day of the merger they should have put a time limit of 3 years to implement what you suggest

Yep . It should be mandated by the nrl or nswrl . That and liquor and gaming mandating that the debenture system is unacceptable in 2025 . Both those things would be enough to stop all this shit forever . You wouldn’t need to axe anyone from HBG . The Ashfield members , who would consist of a vast majority of wests tigers members would do it for you .

Apparently that's half the reason they got rid of the independent directors.. they wanted to do exactly this.. and the HBG didn't like the idea of giving up the magpies in NSW cup

This is actually insulting to clowns

Honestly where does this crao come from? Benji and Ribbie loaned the club money.....dear oh dear.

Manipulating a contract to help with salary cap trouble is very different from loaning your employer, the one who pays you, money. Doesn't make sense

It’s the Wests Tigers, making sense isn’t in our DNA.

Just shut up man … you repeat yourself over and over . No one agrees with you.
Either sing a different tune or go away for a few days. It’s relentless.

Vicious just does not seem to comprehend that this is exactly the problem… that after 15 years of disaster changes were made that resulted in improved results and that despite (or because of) this the HBG group blew up the recommendations and changes that were implemented.. @Vicious had always been a sincere and passionate poster with definitive opinions that demonstrated a clear knowledge of rugby league and the Wests Tigers which makes his posts in this thread all the more surprising…

blows my mind how this day and age a debenture system is allowed to exist.
Don't quote me but from memory ,the debenture system was the norm back in the day when a few business men from the local district built a fancy tin shed and called it a club.
Once they got their return back and then some ,they turned it over to a general member vote /as a part of charging membership in the 1st place.
Think that was what was explained to me many many moons ago
