HBG takeover, Independent Directors Sacked

[murrayf]

So at the end of 27 the NRL can offer the licence to someone else


The NRL owns the name and Logo of the West Tiger's it would not be hard


Just bypass HBG maybe West Campbelltown and or Balmain can make a new deal


Or West Campbelltown and the NRL

Or East Tigers, they have more money than Ashfield and it solves a couple of problems for the NRL.

One less Sydney side and that gives the NRL an extra team in Brisbane.

Brisbane Tigers it may well be.

Then Penrith and Canterbury can take over Western Sydney.

A win win for the NRL no more drama from a club that has been utterly incompetent for 25 years.

I asked BAGN05 who reported it - he has been having a go about everyone just throwing stuff out there so i wanted him to tell me who actually reported that they weren't attending meetings - no doubt he can't tell me because he was just doing what he accused others of doing.

It was in the major newspapers, google it.

It seems hard to see how ,,

Sacking a board that has just overseen the club avoiding the wooden spoon, and delivering a profit - first time for both in several years ..

The CEO outlined why

 

[Lestronge]

That's not up to me that's up to HBG and they obviously believe it's in the best interests of the club.

Hey do we know that on face value though ? . The best predictor of the future is the past . And these people especially Dennis have proven time and again they are incapable of making decisions in the best interest of the club. Exhibit A removing the 4 independents . A review instigated by the club came back with this as a recommendation , yet these people with no visible experience in anything like running a multi million dollar football club , are saying they know better . To me that very scenario implies they are incapable of making these types of pragmatic decisions . It’s been litterally less than a year . The board convenes once a month so at most , they’ve had 9-10 board meetings . How is that enough of a data base to form any opinion one way or another . And to be more extreme , this decisions to axed them , if it didn’t come in a whim then implies they wanted to axe them after even less of a data base . So 5-8 board meetings . Thats probably litterally in relative terms 15-24 hrs of actual face to face interactions … it’s nonsense .

Nice work mate

 

[Tom Shines]

The CEO outlined why

he can he say what he likes ..talk is cheap…others have said differently

 

[BrissieTiger67]

What in the actual F? If Lee Hag is Paul Bearer, then he must be The Undertaker.

Might be time to get Anthony Wiggle to come in and buy the club with his Hot Potato money.

Last time Anthony blue man was asked in an article , he said he wanted to bring back a balmain tigers... still a better option

 

[BAGNF05]

The CEO outlined why

His reason didn’t pass the pub test given they have reps on WT Board. We’ll need more info if there is any.

 

[hammertime]

That's not up to me that's up to HBG and they obviously believe it's in the best interests of the club.

They just removed the ONLY TWO people who were voted in by the members because they had a different view. So no, they are not operating with that modus operandi. There is enough evidence now that this debenture group are acting out of self-interest, not those of the club or members.

.... and if they beleive they are - open yourselves up for election.

Dennis Burgess
Chairman HBG
Dennis Burgess
Board member WT

Given dear Dennis holds the highest position on the HBG Board and is also on the Wests Tigers Board why

Didn’t HE communicate with the HBG Board on WT decisions

Didn’t HE suggest WT considerations/matters needed to be escalated or referred to the HBG Board

Didn’t HE get SACKED for failing in his ‘duties’ as a director/board member of both boards

Four independents get booted to load up on HBG Reps to take the term independent (and successful) out of the WT vocabulary.

How dare you come to this conversation and use logic. It's not welcome here. On your merry way soldier.

 

[Ecto-1]

The thing that surprises me about this week is we haven’t heard from those two mental giants Benny Elias and Blocker Roach. I might have missed their comments but they usually don’t leave us wondering.

I know. I was looking forward to being pissed of by something they said.

 

[Tom Shines]

Anyway …Brent Read has said that Richo can now walk away with two years of pay …given clauses in his contract …

Why would he stay ?

It's incrediblly difficult to see how creating these headlines is in the best interest of the club after our first good season in donkeys years

I actually agree with you re Dennis he's a flog but we don't know if he's involved in this.

I can only apologise for my error as I had forgotten I was talking in relation to HBG

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

he can he say what he likes ..talk is cheap…others have said differently

At the end of the day all we really have to go off is Patons word.

 

[mtd#2]

Anyway …Brent Read has said that Richo can now walk away with two years of pay …given clauses in his contract …

Why would he stay ?

I reckon he has more heart than to walk away right now...
I doubt he will abandon Benji an the boys...
I think he'll work with PVL and do his best to dismantle this inept bunch from the HBG...
They are my deluded visions

Again Paton has explained why.
