HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Tom Shines]

Has any of y'all thought about the possibility that Burgess is actually smarter than any of us, in that Richo is no longer with us and all the others bar 1 apparently are back.

Which one is getting paid $1.5m to do nothing again?

What will they end up having to pay Benji if he starts having a bit of success and they need to move him on?

 

[clontarfkid]

I reckon if the whole Benny Elias thing happened (which looks like it was happening before the NRL stept in) benji would of been gone

The entire club wld be gone by 2027!

You're 95 years old. Time to grow up.

🤣 Thanks for the comedy routine, as it helps to break up the Greek Tragedy that's befallen us.

ALL Wests Tigers supporters were invited, not personally but in the week an a bit leading up to it via the socials
The fact the majority shareholders didnt attend to allay WTs supporters fears....is telling.
Supporters came from all over the country yet HBG couldnt manage the 15 minute walk from WA to PP

That's a very good point ink.

Facing disgruntled fans isn't easy, but it shows good leadership.

Look at Shaun Mielekamp.. he was in the role less than a day, yet has emailed all members and given them an opportunity to speak to him directly over the phone. He knows he's going to be met with alot of emotional fans wanting to cancel - but he is fronting up.

The HBG empathisers will find a way to twist this though .

 

[weststigers]

Speculation mate!

Yes...or lies? We're guided by you. We don't know.

Thank you. Apologies

 

[cochise]

Just wondering. Were you happy 3 weeks ago with the way the club was run? I was...I'd even go as far as to say HBG were doing a great job.

I literally purchased a Magpies membership 2 days before the HBG torpedoed the Wests Tigers.

I'm rofl thinking about Dennis jumping up to allay the fans fears.

Brother...I love you deeply, but can you imagine?

I'd pay to see that.

They dont give a sh.. about WTs supporters.
Ive NEVER heard the chair speak about the WTs....he only talks Magpies, only ever seen in Magpies gear when hes not wearing black plastic trench coats
As Epifania said, Wests Ashfield have been at war with Wests Tigers for 25 years

 

[cochise]

How low are you willing to go to get what Wests Ashfield/Wests Magpies have and you won't accept as fact.
I appreciate atpit you are only being sarcastic, but the fact you would even think like this says a lot.
In fact, it's about the same level as Cochise's thread he titled "I hate Magpies", and at the time he said he was being sarcastic also.
But was he really?

You sir are an idiot.

Yeah yeah I know....but we had people that give a damn enough come from perth, Tassie, four hours away in Canowindra
It just proves they dont care about OUR team

 

[LiverpoolTiger]

When you refer to the Wests magpies brand, what are you referring to?

The club's name is "Wests Tigers". Wests got the location part of the brand. Tigers got the mascot.

So "Wests" is the first word in the name of the club and I haven't seen anyone suggest we get rid of that. Have I missed something?

The reality is, Balmain is dead as is the Magpie. They were the sacrifices made when forming the joint venture

So I guess back to the original question, what exactly are you suggesting people are trying to kill off form Wests Magpies, other than the self serving owners - who never put the football club first? Furthermore, who is encouraging it?

Sorry there are many posts directly and indirectly referencing the exclusion of Wests and denigrading their legacy so you have missed that.

Seems allowed on this forum.

It would be too much work to quote them all.

What is "atpit" please?

at this point in time, trying to be hip lol.

I agree for sure.

They were quick to get their mugs on TV when they destroyed a functioning board, but nothing since.

Thank you Steve. More hip than me that's for sure.

I've probably been one of the more active members during the last week and I haven't seen anyone suggest we get rid of the Wests magpies part of the venture (the football club, the junior catchment etc).. everyone just wants HBG out.

You are spinning the same narrative as others on here suggesting there's a plot against the Wests Magpies side of the venture, yet the HBG are the ones who are pushing for the division...

Unless you can be more specific as to what's being suggested and how exactly we are trying to dismantle the Wests side of the venture, then you're talking out your backside

 

[BZN]

Was that meant to be an insult? lol

Anyway, I haven't seen anyone do what you accuse, yet you still say it. Diminished and denigrated are quite vague terms.

I'm sure you can't articulate what exactly you mean by that when you say what you say. God knows people have tried to get an answer but it's always followed by silence.

With 90% ownership, you'd think there would be no diminishment? Most struggle to see what on earth the problem is.

🙁 How on earth did you decide that denigrate was a vague term>>criticise unfairly, belittle, run down, unjust, dismissive or disrespectful.

 

[cochise]

That seems like a pretty intelligent thing to do.
To be able to front the hostile herd and give Wests side of the story which may have the effect of calming the "frothing masses".
If the organisers of the rally didn't invite them, they're pretty slack and to me shows all the organisers are interested in is being a frothing masmas

Paton was offered a chance to be on our podcast.
