HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Merlot]

I imagine all the independents will demand t get fit t hen to return HBG has to have little to no power. Less power than they had before, not more. Why would they return just to be puppets? There's no point.
The proposal makes no sense, solves nothing. Thousands of members leaving the club demanding refunds, lodging formal protests with basic and fair trading, having rallies (this weekend will be the first of many, if necessary)
There's still a long way to go.

lets dream for a minute
Valandys not only coerced hbg to take them back , but also he talked them into returning
Unfinished business , revenge is best served cold ,f knows its happened
Only an imbecile would step back into the past ,unless they were sure the future will be different

did you listen to it? it puts into perspective in easy terms ,what a lot of people ,unlike yourself don't quite have a grasp of yet.
Those that care about this club - and maybe in 1/2 a mind about the march being worth it .
Educate don't ridicule einstien

The most important thing is to get rid of Burgess as soon as possible.

Sadly unless the big boy comes out and explains the ultimatums we will never know.

We are the fans Peter as you so passionately remind us, FFS speak to us for some assurance.

Wow. Done pretty explosive allegations about HBG in that video.

T hats certainly an interesting video. It makes sense, how reputable are they I wonder.

I appreciate your optimism, but There's no incentive for them to come back to a role from which they were sacked a week ago. A temporary reprieve, where their power is now all gone. There's nothing that vlandys can say to get them back, other than don't worry that unprofessional mob won't be back

I hope your lead's right none of us want to live with their rubbish for much longer, worn out their timeline.

I like the back turn ,26th min at ground , on tv.Bwaiff unsure which leg to stick in what camp on monday
as 1 option. Got more chapters than Russel with his fiction

Many reports that the board has on the table a 2029 extension and are strongly considering it.

Look don't get me wrong, he deserves-ish 2026, He has till 2027 to prove something.
I am not sold on 2028 and suddenly were talking an extension till 2029!

Too much too soon.

exactly!! The board are trying to win back some PR and its a poor way of doing it. Lets see how he goes next year before any thought of an extension. Lets be honest no other clubs are chasing Benji to be coach why rush !! Only the stupid Tigers could do such a thing

faith that the names of the sacked board , - 1 , will be there on the 15th next, board meeting

Why do you believe HBG removed the independant directors?

I don't know any more than anyone else. All we can do is see what comes out in the wash.

would crack a woody if Fletcher was on board

Fletcher is a connection from turf racing. They love him in Richmond.

I knew PVL back in the day when he was Marketing Manager for the Harold Park Trots. He was a straight shooter back then and seems pretty focused nowadays. I recently spotted him at his local Bunnings buying a very long rope. I was going to ask him what it was for, but I think he'd be board if I did. 🍷 🐯 🤪

This is a bunch of made up crap. Its just conspiracy theory nonsense. I don't think the HBG are smart enough to be that conniving. "The real reason I left"... it's a crank video, made by cranks. And we've got plenty of those around already.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It's just a tiny footy club from Sydney, and it's a showdown over what 90% HBG ownership means in real terms. Denny Burgess has to go in any case. Just sandblast out those old fossils and we can finally move on from all this garbage.

HBG did implement the recommendations.

They also sacked those independent board members & the CEO for reasons that a large majority of people in here dismiss as ridiculous.

The NRL has since gifted HBG control of the board, not insisted Richo be returned & negotiated the return of 3 of the 4 ousted board members.

That's the facts that are mostly widely known.

You keep skipping over my question regarding what HBG had planned to do with the board going forward. At no point I can recall has there been any indication they DIDN'T want to continue with independent board members. Just not the ones they felt were not delivering all important details to HBG.

And, given that PVL & not the independent company that did the review, interviewed the ousted board members & HBG in the last couple of days, it could be deducted that PVL is more over the current state of things than the review company. And PVL's decision?

To go in favour of putting control with HBG.

Who knows more about what went down in the last week? PVL? Or the independent company that gave a review that was followed?

And why, with the shadow of an investigation hanging over him, was Richo not brought back in? Does that give ANY credence to the potential issues HBG were having?

I'm not saying it does. Just that it could.

Three directors already reinstated and Richardson can’t be until after the investigation is over .
You really think they did the right thing?
They are vermin.

it did remind me of Crank Callers ,what ever that puppet show was

If you think that I think you might be delusional… and I’m sure you’re not.
