They knew Richo was out the door once the fired the 4 board members. That was 100% intentional.
Otherwise IMHO they had no bloody clue. It's like watching clowns put out a fire.

Well hey I have crap Answers. Lets work this:
<Head explodes trying to work out what team you were watching>
I am concerned about the people on the board, wearing Makeup!
I mean seriously he looks like a Granny special. "Cmon sugar, come here and Ill give you milk and cookies".
Kinda nah.
2016-2018 we were coming 9th. In fact 2018 we came 9th with Ivan Cleary and IMHO I cannot fault the board with that appointment. Yes we can fault the board in 2017 for putting too much pressure on Aaron Woods. Woodsey was plodding and asked to make a statement against Jason Taylor and it all fell through.
Really it's 2020 onwards that our football performance has sucked.
??
None of this is about Football or anything onfield.
They rehired Benji Marshall for 4 years. 4 Years, given away just like that. Benji as coach saying he doesn't deserve it!
I see no difference because we should be focused on how to win premierships. Not fluff about with this dumb Balmain vs Magpies argument, it changes nothing on Field.

Yeah probably why you laugh at my responses.
Blind Freddy can see people like you try to control the narrative and discourage alternative views.
That's why this forum is a bit suspicious really.

I'm trying to make the point that my criticism is directed at individuals, not Wests. I criticise the decisions, nothing else.
Cleary...great appointment? For a little while yes. He extracted 120% out of what he had, but we lost Moses and Tedesco under him. He left us with a huge amount of overpaid has-beens and dumped us in the middle of the contract citing board disunity. It took us a long time to clean up that cap mess...the board approved all those contracts.
Prior to that it was Jason Taylor.
Not saying Cleary can't coach, but it's undeniable that he destroyed our cap for many years.
Saying "don't blame the posters, it's been allowed to happen" is 💯 correct TC.
And allowing criticism that is often harsh, actually ENCOURAGES more criticism.
HaHaHa There's just enough treasure on here wt to keep me returning to look for it.
But thanks for your suggestion for me to possibly p o q anyway.

Perhaps you might be better served challenging my argument rather than trying to attack my character?
I don't mean to piss on your parade, but last time I checked it's not illegal to think HBG has destroyed our club through it's diabolical behaviour attributed to 20 unaccountable debenture holders. You're welcome to disagree with me, but it's not "controlling the narrative" if I disagree with you.
I'm flattered that you think I have so much power over the narrative, but if you look outside this forum, you'll see the same narrative by non-Tigers fans, media, podcasters etc. I'm not alone...I'm part of the majority and I'm not going to play this game where you and your sock puppet accounts try to put people on the defensive by throwing out vague accusations.
There's an intelligent bunch of people on here and it's well understood, if you're going to say something, you'd better come with a logical opinion or some evidence to convincingly state your case.
That's probably what you're missing because your throwaway lines on Facebook amongst other diehard Magpies supporters never cop any real scrutiny. My pop said this and my mate said that and Leo used to catch the high ball in the 80's is going to get pissed all over here. If you're looking for a place to post unchallenged, then you're welcome here always, but you won't find what you're looking for.
I don’t support clowns, there’s plenty of both at Wests and Balmain.
I’ve been a stanch supporter of the betterment of Wests Tigers longer than you’ve been here.
Unfortunately, that means neither foundation club having anything to do with running the football club - as its performance over 26 seasons suggests..
And that’s certainly not my fault.

After Cleary left, we went hard for Bennett, but he’d never come to a basket case like us, for that very reason.

His contribution should be forwarded to PVL for consideration. If proof was needed of the disfunction at WTs' board level, we have it. There will never be coherent leadership at WTs until ownership of the license reverts to the NRL.
Bennett agreed to terms - pretty sure even he said that. But we couldn’t wait the extra year for him.
That said, even if we did wait - we’d have found a way to make him change his mind

The NRL needs a better implementation authority in the SW. A WTs with new ownership under BOF and independent directors, plus our new CEO. With 54,000 new households and the new airport metropolis WTs has a strong case for funding assistance from State and Federal authorities as well as from the private sector. Goals -
Winning
Increased participation of girls and boys in SW
Maintain and improve traditional areas
Continue on the good work of WTs being profitable.
Increase pay and free to air viewing audience
New stadium for WTs (one ground) with facilities for other sports and entertainment in growth area. New stadium at Camden, Narellan, Oran Park or near airport with links to planned rail.
Seek additional funding for a more extensive junior development officer network, programmes and recruitment staff
Work to make the new stadium the heart of RL in Australia with GF played in SW.

What’s wrong with my idea of a shared stadium ( with Dogs) in Liverpool ?
Just replicate CommBank there.
Perfect location. Cost efficient.

Yep... Look I wont blame Cleary for the big 4. Heck his "big 17" put that Ego trip to rest.
But yes, 100% ruined the cap. I actually think Cleary has a poor skill in picking players. He can just coach really really well.

Liverpool is now the inner south west of Sydney and a stadium at Liverpool imo does nothing for our regions further south west. Our territory is extends to Camden, Narellan, Oran Park and the new airport metropolis. Many of our juniors come from those areas and we need to mark our territory. This will never happen if the boardroom is divided by loyalties to clubs which are long gone. The NRL needs to establish a new WTs free from the tiring HBG, Wests and Balmain dramas. $18m says it has the final decision and imo we are best served by encouraging PVL to act.
The sooner you put your head up your arse and roll out of here the better.
