HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Tom Shines]

When I previously stated HBG employed Richo, I was told no they didn’t, it was the independent board.
So which one is it ?

Well .. he signed his 4 year contract in April 2024 … when was the Independent Board actually appointed again ? Your boys dragged the chain a lot longer than that I thought ..:

Oh my... what has this place become!

Lots of idiots here now … they have been emboldened

 

[Tom Shines]

i would like to congratulate those who found the correct thread for this stuff. well done. I am off to the signings thread.

So did we sign anyone ?

So it’s either Richo was employed by HBG and they have signed off on a terrible contract that allowed him to walkout and collect 1,5 million, or it was the Independent Board who employed Richo and signed off on a terrible contract that allowed him to walk out and collect 1.5 million.

I’ve just explained it to you … it wasn’t the Independent Board …they weren’t even around at the time FFS … your idiot mates you support HBG gave him the contract …

Ok so they signed off on a ridiculous contract, but supposedly done a great thing by signing Richo who is put on a pedestal by nearly all on this forum.
Is that an admission that you love some of the decisions they have made ?
What are your thoughts on the Galvin contract nightmare, do you think Shaun Mielenkamp could have handled it much better ?

You are a pivoting machine

Talk to me about opinions I have actually stated and I’ll talk to you about yours …

You are saying it’s a ridiculous contract now … why defend these dopes then ? Why do you want to give them “one more chance “

HBG will share updates with the fans when they're ready, not on anyone else's timetable.

BZN, unfortunately this reply has the wrong tone. If you are attempting to win over WTs' fans on this forum, less arrogance would be a start.

 

[Don Kershane]

We will decide who come to this club and the circumstances in which they come.
BZN is revealed.

Because other people such as Richo and the Independent Board also appear to have made some bad decisions.
Everybody makes bad decisions, nobody is perfect.
PVL who has reviewed all the recent facts unlike many on this forum and across social media are just guessing and making up their own story as they go along, has quite obviously thought it is best to give them another chance.
Coming from someone who knows all the facts I’m listening to him ahead of everyone who is just guessing and making up their own story as they go along.

HBG saved the joint in reality along with the junior leagues. Criticism is fair however calling for losing control and or ownership is ludicrous. They need to increase footy IQ on the board within their group. Like them or not they own the club it’s a company they one shares

I remember those Dirty Harry movies from the 70s/80s…

Just before blowing the baddy away with his Magnum 357 …, Clint Eastwood used to say “ A good man knows his limitations “

Our friends at HBG should stick to running the pokies palaces and swanning around in Corporate boxes telling all in earshot how much they love the Magpies.

Employ experts to run the football team

I don’t think many have heard the saying “ Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”

We started this discussion today with you being critical about your mate Richo walking away with $1.5m … which you subsequently learnt was at the hands of your buddies …

At least the other fanboys here are open about their love for HBG ..you kinda pretend you are on the fence

PVL aint got no time for this … he would be happy to bury it for a couple of years

What sort of contract allows soneone to leave on their own terms and collect 1.5 million on the way out ?
I cannot believe there are people with the opinion “Well done Richo, you earned and deserve every cent of that 1.5 million”
Money spent on his sons company that should not be allowed as it’s a conflict of interest and the bungled Galvin contract saga which was 10 times worse than it should have been due to the way it was handled, yet we have people saying Richo is an angel and and never does anything wrong.

What a surprise, you side step questions again...

Let me make this really simple for you...

Should HBG take any responsibility for what happened? If so why/why not?

I look forward to your answer to that direct question.

Unless they continue to feed you dog sh1t..

So you think it’s a good thing that Richo walked away with 1.5 million for doing nothing ?
I’m sure you wouldn’t have that same view if you was a shareholder in the club.
He bungled the Galvin contract saga, overpaid his son amongst many other things, he is not the angel you have been suckered into believing he is.
PVL has openly said he will be closely monitoring our situation, so you are very wrong by saying he ain’t got no time for it.

I’ve said a thousand of times, yes HBG have to take a fair share of the responsibility of the recent events that have caused our fans into a frenzy putting all of their energy into who is running the club, rather than just supporting their team.
The major issue is they are not the only ones responsible and nobody wants to admit that even though it’s staring at you in the face.

I don’t give a shit about the money ..: HBG pay it out of their own pockets …not the salary cap … just like they have paid out plenty of others to move them on over the years …

We’ll see what happens with PVL … in the meantime he is worrying about the Broadcast deal and setting up Perth and PNG … I’m sure he is sweating bullets over whether the Wests Tigers run last/ second last …. Again
