HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Telltails]

Agreed. Unfortunately they're the owners so deserve majority on the board. I doubt it will work any other way.

Mate it doesn't matter who has the majority if the people you are working with are not pulling in the same direction - hence the review. They had a majority then and three directors got dumped and banned on the back of it.
No way Richardson would have signed on without an independent board for that reason.
They have a history of infighting detrimental to "WTs" reaching it's potential.

No argument from me, especially your last sentence.
But unfortunately they are the owners and they seem want a majority on the board. Vlandys can't pull a license because of that, he probably agrees with it.
I'm optimistic that things can still work out seeing as the chairman and some board members returned. They must have some optimism about the joint.

Again though- is that situation possible?

Its also possible that I win powerball this Thursday, but that doesn't mean I should stop working does it?

The majority of us are making decisions based on what we see at face value and the pretty solid rumour of who was about to be appointed (based on text messages witnessed by certain people on this forum who put their name to it).

This back and forth with endless "this could of happened" is a waste of everyone's time. Its pretty clear what happened. Its pretty clear the intentions. Sure, there are things we dont know, but as mentioned above, if they want to clear the air then no one is stopping them.

A well functioning organisation doesn't dismiss 8 board members in 18 months.

Not necessarily true.. if they are cleaning the decks to run a more professional organisation, then this could be a good strategic move - however I don't think it applies to hbg

No, I'm happy for them not to be the owners. And I'm filthy that Richardson is gone.
I'm just looking for reasonable discussion and must people in this thread are either far left or far right. Chad can see both sides IMO.
I don't know if the board deserved to be dumped or not. I'm not gonna assume that they did or didn't.
I know they signed off on a 3 ground stadium contract in the one city so straight away I'm not impressed with them.

What have the board done this year that has you feeling we're on the right path?

So which stadiums would you have not signed on with? Leichardt? Campbelltown? Commbank?
