You 3,4,5 have never proposed/outlined any plan other than the criitisize, so any plan is better than no plan.
I’ll take Benji’s plan well ahead of 5 forum critics who have never offered any better solutions.
I’ll propose you a plan .
Replace the entire Holman Barnes group board delegates (4)as most have been on the board of wests tigers for 10 plus years . John Dorsey stays as he was only elected this year .
John Coates and Barry O’Farrell are the 2 independent delegates .
I believe Danny Stapleton is the Balmain delegate , and is heavily involved in the recruitment and retention team , being the board delegate . IMO , the last 2 years have been pretty good in this department , so I’m not actually displeased with his performance if that’s his function .
I’d be looking to punt Pascoe , and looking for a CEO who has vision , and bold strategies , but also a proven track record of proving it . I would look far and wide , and pay the right candidate what they’re worth .
As for lee , I would retain him on a year to year basis . IMO I don’t think he’s the problem outside of he can’t shut his mouth.
I would put in checks and balances around all governance and KPIs for all employees that genuinely track performance and up skill under performing employees ( IM looking at you Media Manager and the social media team, as well as the procurement team) .
I’d put a GM in place , Cheika might be ideal , one who can negotiate ,run point between the governance team , and most importantly delegate , as recruitment is sorted through Fulton and the football team should be better coached with Johnny Cronk and Benji .
I think generally that’s probably what will happen . As the biggest issue in this club is hubris , arrogance and entitlement at the governance level .
You can see that through lees quotes the real estate agents quotes and arse covering going on at the wests tigers board level .
If your number one priority is you , and not the club , then see you later . If both those things align , fine , but they’re in direct conflict for most of those guys now , hence the review and hence this conversation .
Anybody still clinging to the party line , is either just zigging to the hive mind zag , just because , or is a shill for the board members in some way(family member , friend , employee etc) .
It’s not personal , and I personally come to this conclusion after years of defending the club , and having faith that personnel choices would Heed results . And they haven’t , so I guess it will be a case of “the king is dead , long live the king” .
