HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Muffstar]

Has anyone heard anymore about Laundy wanting to buy the club ?

 

[diedpretty]

He did it because he wanted a single reserve grade side and they refused, so he stacked one of the sides. The "other side" would always have been justified to complain.

But Sheens was vindicated, we won the comp.

are you sure about that

 

[Merlot]

are you sure about that

about what

 

[diedpretty]

Think you'll find this poster is referring to a suggestion the club be named "Tigers" not Wests Tigers.

Which would diminish the Magpies brand.

And it was suggested on here. You just overlooked it.

like most things he overlooks on here

Thank you bzn.. you have just reinforced everything the bulk of us have been thinking..

You are projecting your own insecurities into a conspiracy theory that theres a plot to overthrow the magpies.

You're concerned that the JV becomes the priority and not the Wests magpies (which is the way under HBG).

Not all of us are like the HBG directors. We just want what's best for the club as a joint venture.. not as Wests and not as Balmain.. the sooner you realise the bulk of us aren't dinosaurs with agendas, the sooner you will realise that the intent from all of this is good.

I've said it myself, id prefer Wests McArthur take ownership.. give them 90%.. most of us would probably agree it's the right play... So how is that a secret sneaky agenda? I look forward to your response specifically to this part of my post - because someone with a sneaky agenda trying to spin it, wouldn't then advocate for Wests McArthur, would they?

But thanks for responding.. I suggest you consider taking a few steps back and realise the bulk of us come from a good place, no one is trying to over throw Wests... Just HBG...

The Magpie Dinosaur is scared of the Balmain Boogeyman

 

[diedpretty]

about what

About whether Balmain won the reserve grade comp in 2012. Jirsky seems pretty certain they did - i believe they lost to Newtown in the GF. That wasn't the point anyway - the point was how Sheens annihilated Wests Magpies to stack Balmain and how a lot of magpie supporters haven't forgiven him or Wests Tigers for that.

 

[The Chad]

Yes they loaned $100 to the HBG, they actually earn interest on this.

HBG has a 7 seat board, those 20 debenture holders get 5 seats on the HBG board. The general membership gets 2.

To make things worse, the last 2 general membership voted directors were sacked by the rest of the board.

This is not how I want my club ran.

Ok- I get that part.

Then HBG has control over Wests Magpies in a similar board set-up.

And Wests Magpies owns 90% of the share of Wests Tigers.

That's basically right?

 

[diedpretty]

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?

Thats not true. If you go back over this whole ridiculous rantathon there were quite a number of people calling for the tigers to hook up with any number of other clubs and drop the Wests.

I understand why he did it - originally it was put forward as a reason why a lot of ex magpie supporters felt that Wests were being disrespected and believe not a lot has changed since. The funny thing is Balmain were defunct the next year and WT was the reserve grade side. Lasted 1 year.

 

[cochise]

Its funny, when i first saw HBGout on the posts, my mind instantly saw it as HBGout, which is quite fitting. Gout is described as a painful form of inflammatory arthritis. HBG perfectly summarised.

Me too

That's basically right?

Wests Tigers Pty Ltd is 90% Wests Magpies Pty Ltd.

Wests Magpies Pty Ltd is 66% HBG and 33% WSDRLC

The HBG has 4 seats on the WSDRLC 7 seat board with the WSDRLC members voting for the remaining 3 seats.

So effectively the WSDRLC is an arm of the HBG.

Balmain has the other 10% of Wests Tigers Pty Ltd

 

[weststigers]

i didn't see that reported anywhere - just another figment of that posters imagination i would think. I do believe he reminded them of who controls the licence and the ramifications if you rock the boat too much.

What were the ramifications? Administration?

Thank God you're here to iron all this mess out

its /should be all about the WestsTigers now. Its decades late imo
Think the tide has turned and hbg ,West Magpie clutching on to any and all power thing is total paranoia.
90% power base ,they shafted 1 of the best administrators the modern game has
Relax ,hbg should just worry about their core business and let those that know what their doing ,run the joint,
If i was delusional as some Magpie supporters on here (Balmain was my 2nd team} i would be screaming blue murder - if anybody truly doesn't have a voice amongst all this rubbish , its the Balmain representative standing in the corner facing the wall

I do recall a little bit of that, so I stand corrected.

In saying that, I think the majority have the best intentions for the JV; most were probably acting out because we finally had some hope and HBG pulled the rug from under us, out of nowhere..

 

[Halbrowne61]

Only out of the WTs board...still chair of HBG

No I’m sure I read it’s both ? Can you please verify for me ? Thanks

 

[jirskyr]

I noticed that.

Have become quite addicted to this discussion so I've read most of the pages on this topic and I've noticed it's dominated by that WestsTigers guy.

Also noticed abuse at not only alternative views but nuanced ones.

Abuse? Have you just joined the internet recently?

This place is beige city compared to real online abuse. Fairly civil IMO.

That's your call dude. Enjoy the rest of the day and sleep well.

goodnight Dennis

Thanks Cochise, I know your response was to the Chad, so all of the percentage breakdown of boards is noted.

However I’m sure it means nothing to most WT supporters whilst ever HBG decisions/influence keep sabotaging stable administration of WT.

Gee I wish HBG could just make decisions in the best interests of WT, unfortunately even if HBG may ‘think’ they can make the right decisions, history would suggest otherwise and the success of the last 12-18 months just emphasise HBG’s inability even further.

For WT supporters the last 2 weeks is just a snapshot of the frustrating life of HBG control 🤦‍♂️
