HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Vicious]

A HBG affiliate is aligning with HBG. more to come at 6 o’clock.

That’s good I’m a sense as the more proper information we get then allows rationale decisions to be made.
If this rumour is true and there is a genuine push from HBG to replace Richo with Todd Lubinskuscwho has no experience in that type of role to my knowledge, then surely it would be HBG just digging their own grave.
At this stage it’s just a rumour, I prefer to wait for factual information to be confirmed.

Benji Marshall as coach was a bit out there at the time too. I wouldn't put anything past these clowns.

Its a piss take.....its too insane and ludicrous for it not to be

 

[Vicious]

Well if hes dropping hints on FB and not telling the whole story, explaining the reasons...hes asking for criticism.
Its Facebook..its a cesspool and we both know that....he can leave if he wants or just scroll on by

You don’t think someone who played many a tough game for the club deserves a little bit of respect?

His Son,
Must have accumulated a real Big Business Acumen in a very short space of time.
He's a personal Trainer - From all I've ever seen (Was engaged to Danica Mason)

This has to be a managed demise of the Football Club.

Nepotism to the nth degree on show by HGB if that is true.

 

[Vicious]

Nope.

Not this time.

Anyone defending these actions is in the crosshairs.

Fans are done with HBG - this will not be swept under the rug. Something has to give this time.

Go get 'em.

You are entitled to that opinion and as I keep saying I can understand why you feel that way.
I assume you would have seen Fallah play at least a few times ?
I choose to wait for concrete facts before putting the boot into anybody and my only issue is with 2-3 people on here who feel they have the right to abuse and criticise myself and a others for anything they don’t agree on, even though they have no factual information to back uk their comments.
Everyone else are great supporters of this club and are expressing themselves and taking action the right way.

Everyone’s getting very excited and angry and I get it but does anyone actually know what’s going on??

Richo hasn’t said a word the HBG barely said anything tangible .

Can we get some bloody details first before we start matching and all that??

Don't you think it's strange that the CEO hasn't made a statement?

The silence speaks volumes about what's going on - Richo will resign. It's just being negotiated. I'm 95% sure of that.

One thing that wasn't mentioned - Barry had to reapply for the Chair job after 6 months if you remember? He was only interim. So HBG are saying within 6 months he went from being the best man for the job to being non-communicative and not fit to be the Chair of the WT?

This has to do with the independents outnumbering the HBG vote - they must have passed a few resolutions around the jersey and other minor things, which they were entitled to do with their 4/7 split, and HBG come out with some nonsense about communication because they didn't like it.

Personally I hate the new jerseys -the white one in particular, but not enough to dismantle a functioning board.

if richo walks i’m walking with him
idgaf who they appoint it will set the club back decades and i’ve been thru enough with this club to do it all again

Fallah was my PE teacher in high school. Great guy.

And they are part of the problem.

I dont expect respect for anyone on FB wether they deserve it or not

Its FB V

You have people filming fatal car accidents, you have videos of women laughing at mens suicide statistics..and much much worse
.dont expect anyhuman decency on FB from any anonymous

Fallah was recently made a debenture holder. No shit he has 'inside info' to support WA's actions.

Abuse isn't ok, Vish.

I'm of the opinion that no individual is bigger than the club. There are enough facts, currently, for justified views and rhetoric around the defence of the club that we have all grown to love.

The particulars don't matter in many ways given the pattern of behaviour from these owners.

This is the straw, therefore any defence or justification this time around will likely fall on deaf ears.

Abuse - no.

Uncompromised pressure for permanent change - 8 days a week.

Has anyone actually tried for a refund of their memberships for next year and if so how did it go?

Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your thoughts so openly. We genuinely appreciate your long standing support of the club.
The Club has been advised of a change in our Board structure by the Holman Barnes Group. As you can appreciate, the details of this change are still being worked through and will be finalised following the Club’s scheduled Board Meeting in December.
We completely understand your concerns and respect the position you’ve taken. At the same time, we are unable to offer refunds for change of mind cancellations, as per our membership terms and conditions.
What we can do in good faith - is opt you out of next seasons renewal to ensure no further renewals take place without you actioning this. Your feedback has also been collated and reported up to management as part of a wider review.
Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your feedback.

Wests Tigers Membership

You are a good man, I believe you are a very valuable supporter and contributor of our club and have full respect for everything you say and do.

"HBG can not change the emblem. The licence is Wests Tigers and the NRL aren't going to allow that to change. Thats not my gripe - i can't stand the hypocrites on here who continually keep pushing its not a balmain vs wests thing and then in the next breath say they will walk away if there is no Balmain identity left. They are the same ones who continually abuse anyone who has the temerity to say anything good about the magpies. And yes i'm an old magpies supporter but i know they are never going to be back in the NRL. I'm also appalled at what HBG has done but level headed enough to at least wait and see how this all plays out before i rush off to buy a razor to slash my wrists. Most of my recent comments have been tongue in cheek because i am really having quite a laugh at a lot of the totally unhinged, manic and OTT rants on here."


This is what i wrote so can you please point out this imaginary question that i asked. You are all over the place.

Great post Peno

Strip it all back and many on here simply support an emblem.
Clubs evolve - jerseys change, home grounds can be anywhere, players, coaches they come and go ... and all through that - it’s yay team 👍

But any suggestion that a change be made to that caricature of an animal which sits on the chest of the jersey - and suddenly we’re reaching for the nuclear codes

God people are funny 🤣

 

[tigahhh]

Ditto, my friend.

how is the person defending the group of people trying to destroy our club a valuable supporter and contributor?

I replied to the Balmain portion of your “rant” . I even elaborated . The only people who keep mentioning Balmain are you and your cronies .
Every single time I’ve said I won’t support wests magpies .
For me it’s like this ;
When the Cleveland browns left for Baltimore to become the ravens , no supporters followed them .
When they started up a new team called the Cleveland browns in 1999, they had a ready made fanbase ready to go. I would be one of those fans. I’m not following the club to wests magpies , especially one that’s interest only lies in Ashfield . Which is why Wests Cambo have long held issues . So not only does this rebrand not serve the legacy of which my family is now 7 generations deep re. The tigers , but it doesn’t even serve the adopted locale in Campbelltown . It in fact would be an obvious return to a club that if the nswrl had thier way would have died in 1980.
I love the wests tigers . I see the wests as Campbelltown not Asfield . And I see the tigers as a nod to the past , which doesn’t exist anymore re. Balmain , and the team my kids support . My nephews support . The team everyone under 30 has grown up loving . FFS .
