HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[hammertime]

Come off it Ink - you, i and everyone on this forum know that most of the users of those magpie facebook pages are extremely pro magpie and have been hurling abuse at any balmain related issue for years. I could go on pro balmain facebook pages and find just as many nut cases doing the same thing to anyone who mentions the magpies.

Facebook is for retirees these days. Most of these guys would have to be 60+. Dementia starts to make you quite aggressive unfortunately.

Love that last one

Feel free to use it 🤣 When I get them made, I'm happy to share the PDF

Love this! Ive been throwing around some ideas, too. Just the # ones, #HBGOUT, #InRichoWeTrust, and I'll be carrying one that says "All I Want for Christmas is #HBGOUT

Coincidentally, interesting timing of this HBG trainwreck right at the start of the holiday period.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 - you really love abusing people for just providing an opinion - you really are a total loser. i haven't seen one coherent plausible comment from you since this mess started - just heaps of OTT rants and utterly stupid suggestions as to what the tigers should do. oh and course the constant barrage of abuse against anyone who isn't stupid enough to agree with your unhinged ideas. oh and by the way there are facebook pages devoted to balmain.

I guess as a Magpie blowhard, you’d be an expert on total losers as that pretty much sums up the history of your worthless club, its players and its supporters.

Run along now, I’m sure your colostomy bag needs emptying 😊

I can only suspect they have a different agenda which might be at odds with the current club winning games and having success ..🤔…

I hear what you’re saying, but still that does not make sense at all in what HBG are doing.🙏(as I said can only see club and implode at all levels)

Yes there was and the fact they took it down is a pretty big indicator. They accused the independent directors of having a lack of communication with ownership AKA HBG, even though they had two HBG representatives sitting on the board, including the chairman. I have no doubt the minutes from the meetings will also confirm their attendance and voting records

I know you Magpies diehards aren’t the brightest bunch and like to swallow whatever HBG give you but that doesn’t mean you get to BS everyone on here.

Given that the “lack of communication” was the stated reason as to why the independents were sacked, I don’t think saying it out aloud changes anything.

But you have your theory, and I have mine.

Note: My theory is delivered without insults 🤷‍♂️

“In order to take back control and have the ability to reconstitute the board, the only lever the Holman Barnes Group had to pull was to remove the four independent board members,” chief executive Daniel Paton told The Sydney Morning Herald.

Then why did they take the video down after reports of the former independent directors lawyering up? My theory has a basis in logic while yours is based in carrying water for a bunch of lying dinosaurs.

As far as I’m concerned, your sad repeated attempts to justify HBG disgraceful attempts to set this club back 5 years after its most successful season in years is the greatest insult. Your club and and its supporters are nothing more than a foul stench that needs to be cleaned out of Wests Tigers.

Cutting critique 🥴

If we are to believe the runours HBG don’t like the Balmain side of the merger and want them gone, they don’t like the Campbelltown connection and want them gone.
So what are we saying, they want the club to be called the Western Suburbs Magpies, play out of Lidcombe Oval with around 500 fans attending home games and no junior clubs to feed into the NRL team ?
Who honestly makes this stuff up ?
Are they also planning on having flying pigs for the halftime entertainment?
Thank god it’s now with the NRL to make an informed decision on what happens moving forward to stop all this guess work and innuendo.
What happens if PVL concludes that the NRL licence is ok to stay with Wests Leagues PROVIDING they make changes,remove any perpetrators and work amicably with the CEO and rugby league club staff moving forward ?
Based on what I’ve been reading there would be many who still won’t be happy, will throw their toys out iof the cot and likely paint PVL as a villain.
The common sense way of thinking would be we have raised plenty of attention with our dissatisfaction, we will raise even more attention with the upcoming march/rally, let the NRL decide what is best for Wests Tigers moving forward and accept their decision even if it is not exactly what we want.

i never said they did - just pointing out that its not new - those knobheads on facebook have been carrying on like that for years.

I usually dont see.much Magpies content but in this issue both WTs/WMs are overlapping frequently

Scroll back and you’d find my theory as to why the video came down. I could be wrong, but it’s my theory 🤷‍♂️

Could the master plan be, to absolutely destroy the joint ✅sack any good around the place✅ set the club back even more than it already is ,and then sell .. laughing into the sunset ...it's not the Western Suburbs Magpies..who gives a f.uck kinda attitude

24 months ago a review found that WT needed an independent board , that (and our pitiful history) should tell you all you need to know.

can I tweak this a bit.

So Sharks. Hire Craig Fitzgibbons dad as GM. Can Fitzgibbon snr manage a club? maybe. But I can guarantee you it's his surname that got him the job.

Look the boards "independance" away from stupid club arguments is a step in the right direction.
The focus or return of this Stupid BS in our club, and not how we get our first grade side performing better.


We need to split the board. half focused on football with Athletic minded people and half focused on growing the club. Pascoe/Lee H etc actually did a fair bit in growing the club financially, we were in total shambles before them. What they did wrong is not dedicate enough resources to improving our performance (Wressling/tacking coach anyone?), line up a coach succession (failing to appoint Shane Flanagan as an assistant)... etc.



No more wests/balmain stupid arguments. But likewise, we need to focus around building culture and that is getting the right football heads involved.

Your attempts to present yourself as open-minded (despite all evidence to the contrary) are really quite adorable. You’ve already exposed yourself as another Magpie shill so you can drop the sad act.

But I guess this is one way of keeping yourself busy when you’re not dragging out the Super 8 film of the Magpies last premiership in 1953 so you do you, champ 👍

Ignore the rumours …just concentrate on what happened … HBG have removed the management team ( with the CEO on the way out) that in their first year assembled a playing group that got away from the wooden spoon and delivered a profit …both were the first time in several years this happened ..

The reasons they have put up for these actions seem illogical at best …and don’t really stand up to scrutiny

I’d focus on this rather than what some anonymous person says on social media

Mate, love your work. You guys had any communication with N.R.L head office, any updates you could share. Also another thing we could all do. With all the changes maybe the jersey will be changed maybe it won't but either way when ever someone's wearing one to a game put black electrical tape over the old balmain logo and Magpie logo if they put it on the sleeve to cover them up as a show of our loyalty purely to Wests Tigers.

Link doesn't work?

I doubt they wanna sell… the money doesn’t go to the directors …
