HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

“We don’t need you here ...” 🤔

Are you the head of a faction, or are you claiming to speak for the entire forum ?

Maybe we need to conduct a survey to determine which one it is. 🤣

I hope Pepper Money withdraw their sponsorship immediately.

I had the same question about Laundy. Would people rather he buy the club, but no Richo. Or Richo stays, but has to bow to our Ashfield overlords

Id take laundy in a heartbeat

I’d be surprised if a wily old stager like Richo has overstepped the line …having said that …a few here ( including myself ) have raised eye brows in the past over some of the connections with Rich Digital… any allegations of wrongdoing don’t have to be true in the end to hit the mark

I too was a bit concerned with the relationship, however it looks like he disclosed it to the the board prior to accepting the role. If there were "inflated" payments, favorable terms etc... than that is something that would be untenable and lead to his sacking no questions asked.

I hope Pepper Money withdraw their sponsorship immediately.

They might if Richo leaves.

 

[tigahhh]

can we just fold?

 

[TheEnz]

would everyone rather; richo stays but hbg control the board, or richo gets sacked by the nrl integrity unit but the nrl takes control of the board and hbg is cut from the club?

I hoestly have no beef with HBG running and owning the WT, what I do take issue with is the dysfunctional HBG board. If they get rid of the debenture system and adopt the same model as other clubs where there is more accountability to members than I'm happy.

They might if Richo leaves.

All things considered.I regrettably cant see him staying
Huge setback for the footy club..these guys with their experience and skills just dont fall out of trees
Mind you...hes been set of for failure by HBG
Dont think this will end well for the footy team,which is all were concerned about

That only serves HBG who clearly don’t care for WT to succeed.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

A bit of character assasination leading up to his departure.

There is so much nepotism and conflict of interest throughout rugby league yet this will be Richos undoing…

 

[Lestronge]

Where have I ever written (let alone “yelled”)
that I’m hard done by?

Some of my views would appear to buck the echo chamber nature of the forum - but hey, that’s an issue for the trigger-tots to deal with. I’m comfortable either way (hence why I keep coming back with my 20 cents worth).

I have been criticised by one or two on here for not opening up enough with my views. Being guarded or too diplomatic. And of course when I do candidly offer my thoughts I’m criticised by one or two more. Such is life 🤷‍♂️

“Second hand embarrassment” and “sled awareness” ???
You’ll have to elaborate on these claims. The embarrassment is obviously something for you to deal with and it would seem to be way too hot for sleds (although Santa seems to cope).

TLDR

I think V'landis is more than smart enough to work out that any positives that have come out of the last year would be attributed to the work that Richo and the Wests Tigers board have done and that any contribution made by the Holman Barnes group have generally acted as a brake on greater achievements that may have otherwise been possible.

Well you worked it out. LOL
I was referring to a possible reaction he may have and how if numbers are up then there's nothing for PVL to get involved in.

 

[hank37w]

It won't work
They'll say that the A in the mAgpies is too similar to the A from bAlmain and represents Balmain more than Wests..

That's ridiculous, everyone knows that "A" is for arseholes which is what the Holman Barnes Group is.

 

[Lestronge]

So he’s being investigated for nepotism ? ….. right .. in the nrl ? Where having a famous last name gets you a walk up start to most teams no matter your talent . Or immediately gets you to jump the queue once you finish playing …. What a joke seriously ..

 

[Wezt]

So whos going to be the next CEO when Richo departs

 

[mtd#2]

We’ll know on based on what he decides on Monday as to whether it came from them.

Where else could it have come from? The sacked independent directors?

His accomplishments are undisputed. So are HBG’s.

Nah it’s from an employee . My guess is someone in the marketing department who got overlooked for a job for Richos son . Is it perfectly timed with this … maybe ! Maybe it’s the nrl saying your golden boy Richo isn’t so golden and not worth our time .. I dunno . There’s no such thing as coincidences though . That’s one thing I know .

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Seems likely. Puts Richo in an untenable position.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Leaking to the SMH. Jeez I wonder who?

I just hope Andrecchio, Gilbert & Romero have dirt on HBG they are willing to share anonymously with Chammas 😉
