Madge Maguire - Mega Thread

[Newtown]

Any idea why they would cancel the board meeting? Doesn’t make sence

Was there even a Board meeting in the first place?

5pm on a Monday.
Serious business.

Story changes every hour.
From journalists who have no idea but like to pretend they do.

Journalists need to create news to justify there own existence. They will try anything , even suggest that Wests tigers were having a meeting tonight.

 

[Newtown]

Meeting at 9am tomorrow .. Harry will chair it wearing a signed Wests Tigers jersey, Pascoe will wear a T-shirt that shows off his biceps and Madge will say f*** a lot. At the end of the meeting, Madge will be confirmed as coach for 2022 and Brooksy will get a contract extension.

And Wests Tigers live happily ever after. I wish.

Prehaps irs time to go on shark tank

Hello sharks, my name is justin pascoe and im seeking 20 bucks for a 90% ownership of west tigers

"Justin i'm sorry but your valuation is ridiculous and your plans for revenue growth through donations and hat sales is flimsy at best. I also find your appearance somewhat bizarre and for those reasons, unfortunately i'm out"

"And I'm only the cleaner."

 

[yeahcaz]

If Madge gets sacked I hope a few players go as well before pre season starts.

Highly doubt that. With a new coach, everyone essentially gets a clean slate

I'd say with some degree of certainty there would have to be several WT players that will be taped on the shoulder immaterial of who the coach is- tanking performances, inability to improve over time, bad value eg Brooks, Nofo, Tamou, maybe Garner, decision made of Roberts, maybe Liddle, maybe Amone.

No they don’t, that’s an illusion.

Can they just make up their mind? The longer this drags out the worse it is for the club

Seems pointless to me. If they're having to hold full on board meetings to decide if he should be sacked then he should probably just be sacked

 

[BAGNF05]

Maybe Madge sent that compromising photo to the reviewers

BJ’s skin folds?

Or the people who wear suits are just mugs and the coach is a moot point

 

[Telltails]

Probably got word that Ciraldo was not interested.

24 hours extra, what a gee up

 

[Geo]

So the media reported a meeting .. they may have never been a meeting.. th n the meeting was called off from a meeting that may never have been..

Chammas backflips DCE style with a perfect 10 .. and Wests Tigers don’t know what they Doing.. is that about right..

Panic stations.

 

[weststigerman]

Copping a hammering on 360.

I can’t disagree with any of it unfortunately. Front office is a mess.

This made me laugh out loud ??

It’s disturbing how much they’ve been right lately

'Torn' Tigers board delays definitive call on Maguire

A definitive call on Michael Maguire's future as Wests Tigers coach has been delayed as multiple club board members requested more time on Monday to consider their position on his tenure.

NRL.com understands that a 4pm board meeting on Monday afternoon was cancelled "very late in the piece" according to sources, to allow further consideration of the football department's review.

The Tigers board is understood to be genuinely torn on whether Maguire should be backed to complete the remaining two years on his contract, or if his position has become untenable.

A vote on Maguire's tenure was expected to take place, however that decision has been pushed back at the request of powerbrokers.

Another meeting to discuss Maguire's coaching future is yet to be scheduled, though the club is cognisant of a call one way or the other needing to be made soon.

The Tigers board first began dissecting the review compiled by CEO Justin Pascoe and head of football Adam Hartigan last week before requesting further information.

Maguire's future at the joint-venture has been on tenterhooks since a dismal 38-0 loss to wooden spooners Canterbury earlier this month, compounding a 10th straight season since the Tigers last played finals football.

Maguire has two years remaining on a deal that was extended by the Tigers just last December in a bid to create stability at the club.

A gradual slide from ninth to 11th to 13th during Maguire's three seasons in charge has prompted yet another overhaul, with club patriarch Tim Sheens to return in a head football role.

Sheens is still yet to arrive in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions delaying his departure from the UK, but has taken part in elements of the review via Zoom as well.

The Tigers inability to land a marquee signing in recent years despite realigning their salary cap is understood to have been a focus of the review process.

Recruitment and retention decisions have been put on hold since the end of the season given the conjecture around Maguire, with the Tigers boasting more than $1.5 million in salary cap space for next season.

What we do know is 5 days ago the Chair said the club is going to take as much time as it needs to finalise the process.

Nicolussi saying no decision to be made today, and he's not even sure a meeting is happening. What the hell is happening.

Safe to say nobody knows what's happening, including WT management.

Not knowing what is happening is a WT board speciality.
