HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[innsaneink]

Looks like a few old magpies might be turning up to Pratten on the 13th

 

[Lestronge]

Based on the fact I know a lot of people who played for the Ryde-Eastwood Hawks in the Metro Cup days, I have a rough idea who you are.
You carry on like an A-Grade Derek, just another blow in who knows nothing about traditional inner west working class values and that’s a large part of the problem, we now have the inner west full of leftist greenies.

I never played for the Hawks . What are you talking about? What has greenies got to do with the wests tigers ? What has living in inner city got to do with it ? You do know wests supposedly move to Campbelltown in the late 80s right ? Did you forget your meds tonight vicious . Did the nurse not turn up .. bloody NDIS .. waste of money aye?

 

[TurnStyle]

You are genuine lying scum. Go take a stroll across the Nullarbor.

What? We don't fkin want him!

 

[Merlot]

for giggles - hbg threw denny under the bus as a scape goat, say they got it all wrong. He mislead them.
Reinstate the board, Everty thing is humming along .
How long into 26 would anyone trust HBG to not spit the dummy again ?
All corporate trust and best intentions, if there ever was have been lost towards hbg and will take an eternity to regain any trust. I Fear 4 my clubs future ,and those $100 wankers don't earn the right to tweak my emotions

 

[Lestronge]

Did the leftist greenie tag hurt your feelings, it would sum you up perfectly too.
Balmain and Wests were both once proud working class clubs, it’s a disgrace how the demographic has changed.

Careful vicious you’re revealing yourself to be the bigot we all knew you were … silly nurse didn’t bring the meds did she ? Bloody lefty NDIS .. waste of money aye vicious ?

 

[Vicious]

Traditional inner working class? Wtf would you know about working class? If your behaviour on here is any indicator, you’ve never worked a day in your worthless existence. You’re lazy, incapable of performing the simplest of mental tasks and cannot go more than 5 seconds without making a complete arse of yourself.

I’m from the very heart of the working class inner west as a matter of fact and I don’t tolerate imbeciles like you.

 

[balmain boy]

Some people really don't understand the gravity of the situation here.
Burgess has declared war on Wests Tigers. There are two ways this can turn out.
1. Burgess and HBG win. Richos resigns, Benji leaves, half our playing squad leave and the club itself is an absolute shambles. Denny takes this opportunity to rebrand to the Wests Magpies.

2. The members, fans and media protest is loud enough to get the NRL's attention and they step in and place the club under administration, stopping HBG from cannibalizing it's own club. Then hopefully Denny is removed and hopefully HBG can be forced to sell their license.

Whether the joint venture remains or not is irrelevant. No one cares about they stuff anymore. We are the Tigers and Wests, from Leichhardt and Crown. That won't change, all that will change is who pays the bills and how much they chip in. It sure didn't hurt the Dogs.

The protest happening next Saturday's is absolutely huge in the context of the future of our club. It almost depends upon it.

I know for a fact that Richo isn't leaving just yet, but his fate is in our hands, and that of the NRL. We must act, in huge numbers. The time is now.

You are revealing all about yourself, your agenda is very clear.

No WT fan can ever truly feel comfortable while HBG and the debenture system stays in place, especially after the what’s just happened. Our long term survival is entirely dependent on an administrator being appointed and Liquor and Gaming NSW investigating and sacking the board.

If the board dismissals were unjustified how does Burgess or the HBG win ?
It’s not possible is it ?

 

[innsaneink]

Sums it up nicely although regardless of what happens, HBG can’t truly win anyway because the Magpies are never coming back to the NRL. Which makes this whole stunt by them so pointless and disgusting.

Yep exactly....but some people are that spiteful if they cant have what they want then others not having what others want make them feel better.
Misery merchants the lot of em

Im sure many old magpies like myself are embarrased and ashamed of whats happening.
I feel like ive been conned, swindled and ripped off by the club I used to support

My old man and his mates at Ashy pub were right...WA didnt give a shit about the football club in the 70s and they dont now

What did they use to say mate ? What was the vibes ? I’ve never heard this rhetoric before .

 

[Merlot]

It’s a great meme .

claws out , thought they were/still are best jerseys in a while - modern, flash , hbg are donkeys

 

[Vicious]

No, dipshit, you exposed yourself when you kept parroting Praton claims despite being asked repeatedly how there was a lack of communication with HBG when they had two representatives on the board, including the chairman. You repeatedly refused to answer and then started talking out of both sides of your mouth because you did exactly what you’ve always done on here which is run your mouth without thinking.

No one cares what you deem to be acceptable as you have done nothing but lie and be bad faith. Like HBG, you’re an embarrassment and poor reflection on the club and we’ll be better for it when you’ve [This word has been automatically removed]ed off elsewhere.

Why would you ask me or anyone else to clarify what Paton stated, he’s the one stating it, nobody else.
You choose to believe he’s telling lies, good on you, but doesn’t mean anyone else has to conform to your views.
What are you going to do if PVL finds that there was an acceptable reason for the board members dismissals ?

 

[liltiger]

If it gets to a point where Richo leaves and the nrl doesn't respond then we are truly stuffed

If Richo walks with or without N.R.L help were stuffed imo. He's made mistakes but in his around 2 years he started turning the place around, if he leaves, being one of the most experienced operators in the game, who would want to takeover, any operator we get will just be a slave to HBG and what they want, no one of any decent standing would do that.

whats the diff , A sqweak or a peek. You 2 of to the Cowgirls if ,the sky , sky ,is falling.
Hands up , everybody say ho

 

[liltiger]

What's the chances Richo does leave?

Every day that passes with radio silence others see as a bad omen but I see it the complete opposite, he could be in the background working behind the scenes to try and sort this garbage out with HBG or with the N.R.L / N.S.W liquor and gaming. He could be negotiating a payout with HBG to leave quietly but I couldn't see him needing to do that. I think he's too smart and would have stipulated his terms for being CEO. I'm hopefull that if he was going to go he would have done it today and is working behind the scenes trying to resolve this mess. I could be way off the mark though but he's been around way too long and we cannot afford to lose him. He is the most valuable thing at Wests Tigers. Even if we need to start another rebuild from scratch he's done it plenty and knows what needs to be done. If he goes were anchored to the bottom 2 for another decade.

Silence is golden they be crunching the numbers in the back room, tick tick tick

The question is how are they independent if they were chosen by HBG and can be removed by HBG? There's nothing independent about it. You can't vote out the debenture holders...that's the source of the problem entirely.

No one decent would want to work under the present conditions and with our track record.

This will not only affect our ability to recruit decent management, it will absolutely affect our ability to sign players...we're back where we started prior to the positive changes over the last 18 months.
