HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Ask the Daily Mail dipsh1t.

Burgess doesn't have a musical history to talk about. He's a coat tail rider and can barely play music or sing. Honestly he is god awful. He has no real career in music to speak of. Go listen to his majesty on youtube and that's about the best he can manage. It's something that shouldn't last more than 9 seconds on red faces.

He's got all these little side hustles with grand names like 'The Australian Songwriting Association", but its mostly just a front end for his grassroots pub rock open mic nights. (He's chairman and his wife is CEO... of course) It's not like he founded the Aria's and he's handing out awards to Kevin Parker and Parcels and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Matt Gudinski and Kyle Sandilands....

Maybe we make an organisation called the 'Australian Western Suburbs Magpies association' and I'll make my Dog CEO and get Ray Cashmere to act at Chair. We can make an MS DOS website for it. He was a magpie off the bench for 2 games in 1999 so that matches up with the dizzing heights of denny's career being the backing musician for Tiny Tim, and having one of his songs played in a few cinemas before ghostbusters was screened in Sydney in the 80s

He was only technically in the Masters Apprentices for a couple of months, and that was after the real band had broken up and he and his brother tried to revive the name with other musos. They recorded a (terrible) demo and played a few pub gigs before it all fell apart. Denny Burgess never appeared on any recordings for that band. When the band reunited he didn't play with them. Doesn't stop him from pretending that he DID, and even then who gives a flying fek its not a big act to get worked up about even if it were true.

just a creepy old fossil. Wants the magpies back at any cost but it doesn't stop him scoffing his guts at the corporate buffet during WT games any chance he gets. A loser and a fC9kup.

I thoroughly enjoyed your post, outstanding

Why did he have to make his instagram private? Are you offended by seeing legal age ladies in a swimsuit?

Not at all, offended but I would certainly be hopeful that individuals in such prominent leadership positions in our club wouldn't publicly engage with content that has such a high potential to draw negative press against the club and bring it into disrepute.

Offended, no but personally I do find it creepy...

Depends what you expect from your leaders. You obviously don't expect much and we all respect that.

Being such an open-minded guy as you are, can I assume you respect the opinions of those that feel the opposite to you?

This just leads to the question I've been asking all along- why did HBG do it?

Not speculation. Facts. Why? Who here actually knows? If you want to call it a power grab, or want to say it's because they didn't want independent board members etc- that's fine. But it's as much an opinion as anything anyone else has put forward.

People are arguing opinions as facts & then trying to run other people with opposing opinions down for not simply agreeing.

What are HBG's 'true colours'- based on facts? If you want to come back with "they sacked the board"- WHY?

Daniel Paton: “The crux of the matter here is about the 90 per cent owner of Wests Tigers having a minority say on the board."


The board was sacked because HBG felt they should have majority say because they are majority owners. The CEO said it himself.

From the same article, but without the selective representation-

“Now, there’s an agreement between Wests Tigers and Holman Barnes Group where certain decisions that are made need to come back to the owner for approval. That simply hasn’t been happening.
“And I can give an example of that – the stadium policy around Leichhardt Oval. So the announcement was that Leichhardt Oval would be the home of Wests Tigers for the next 15 years. The Holman Barnes Group board only found out about that with 16,000 other fans at Leichhardt Oval. Which is really bad for business, and it’s quite embarrassing really ...

As the majority owners, Holman Barnes Group is well within its rights to take back control of the board if there are concerns with governance. 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. The work done by the majority of the independent board members has been commendable, and we are in talks with some of those members as we work through what the new board looks like
You talked about a lack of communication – and obviously the four independent directors are no longer there – what responsibility does Shane Richardson bear for that?
DP: “I think some of the decisions that were made, that should have come to the Holman Barnes Group for approval, certainly didn’t happen. And that’s coming from the CEO and the board.”
Is there anything in the [ownership] agreement whereby certain actions taken by the football club have to come back to you either for ratification or to inform you of what’s going on?
DP: “That’s correct. In the agreement, there is a threshold limit that if transactions – let’s say transactions above a certain limit – need to come back to Holman Barnes Group for approval.”

HBG signed off on the review and independent nature of the wests tigers board.

The independent board proved this as a correct decision by the improvement of all aspects of Wests Tigers.

As stated many times, this is the same board that the chairman of HBG sat on and voted in favour of all decisions, but obviously must have failed to provide any feedback to his own HBG board or raise any concerns with Wests Tigers board re its processes.

So sack the Wests Tigers Chairman and other independents for their suggested failures.

After the sackings they also stated Richo and Benji had the full support of HBG.

Then invited the independents back.

Nothing wrong here 🤦‍♂️, just 90% owners HBG proving their 100% incompetence.

Geez, he had a lot to say and then it was quickly taken down and he hasn't been sighted since.

Wouldn't surprise anyone if he is just another HBG casualty, if he's not then it shouldn't be too much longer.

HBG not knowing about the 15 year Leichhardt plan is solely on Denny B , he is on both boards and top spot at HBG , he should have gone to them and told them , this is what has been done and it will be coming out on X date , if Richo new he didn’t have to run to the HBG board on this issue he would 100% not go to them as they are clearly just not up to it and have a bias against all things Balmain

I also read he was part of AC/DC in the early days , I near choked on that Bull shit story , Denny is a nobody trying to be somebody by taking out anybody , looser of the top order .
I award Denny - ( Worst Director in a Sporting Club ) take a bow champion
 
Lee in the SMH today
Tigers, who collected two of three consecutive wooden spoons with Hagipantelis and Pascoe at the helm, have been dysfunctional on the field and off it, as evidenced by the recent boardroom shambles that resulted in chief executive Shane Richardson resigning.

“Lee and I are loving what we’re doing, not only with the Jets, but with the professional basketball team that we have in Canada, and also obviously the Lightning up here on the Sunshine Coast,” Pascoe said.

“I suppose the difference is that we actually can take ownership of decisions and set the strategy and be in alignment to actually execute that strategy, whereas, at the West Tigers, that wasn’t always the case, with a board that was sometimes not in the same alignment.”

Hagipantelis said nobody will be cheering louder than he will if coach Benji Marshall can steer the Tigers into the play-offs for the first time since 2011.

“I’m a massive supporter of the West Tigers and I always will be, and I wish Benji and the team incredible success,” he said. “The issues that I had with the West Tigers were with certain individuals, some of whom have already moved on, but not with the club itself.”

I think he called them and thought they were "his groupies", even though he had to pay them for the privilege.

His brother played in ACDC in Canterbury days before Bon Scott joined the band. Again when they were not famous. Colin didn't play in the classes Masters lineup either. He was kicked out of early ACDC for being rubbish and being drunk to often.

They had full control of the thousands of made up memberships that the club were bragging about.
