Far out I am so bloody sick of this rubbish. It’s gotta be a Wests guy… it’s a Balmain guy…

have you hit the Grange early steve ..I can't see where anyone here has said that..looks the opposite to me..

P.S, regards a dinosaur..
 
Fat cat ex politician that will be all show no go! Another brain dead appointment if tue..this club is doomed forever of being a mediocre footy club . You need a person that can bring in the big end of town , you need a person that can bring the big sponsorship dollars . The board of this club have not got the required drive or the required desire to turn this club into what it should be . When ex politicians are being employed as chairman the writing is on the wall ! the boys club board will be happy . No high profile business females required here ,just failed politicians what a joke these people are!
 
Barry is the first person that I thought of as a replacement when the news broke about Go. He knows the big end of town and can bring sponsors to the club. Exactly what a Chairperson needs to do. I would be happy with his appointment if it happens.
 
You are correct about the fat cat politician,i dont care what side of politics they come from i would rather have a succesful businessman than a hack politician with doubts over his integrity as chairman.
We had a good chairman so the board backstabbed her and we are going to get an ex premier who was forced to resign because of impropriety in her place.The lunatics are running the asylum
 
If Fatty O'Barrell becomes the chair that's it for me

We don't need bludging politicians on the board we need people who understand how to market a product, how to motivate a board on a sporting club and how to make a difference. Look how well Beattie has done ….. not!
Anybody on this forum could do as well as O'Barrell. Just like him we have a love of the club but we can't possible drive it to the next level. We need some young blood on the board not some old has been fart!
 
If this does happen the club is going know where, just as things were moving in the right direction it is thrown out the window … my prediction again Pascoe will not return as CEO !
 
More jobs for the boys.My support and love for the club is constantly tested but it is part of my DNA i will persevere.I survived Jones,Lamb and Taylor and now we get another waste of space coming to the club
 
Iam happy with Barry, he is a WestsTigers man through and through, and he is interested in the game. He has been out in the real world for a long time now since his days at Macquire str and as other have said he is we’ll connected in the big end of town
 
Got busted on the take of a bottle of Grange from a Tigers person, can't remember his name. Probably the best thing the tigers have done since 2005
 
Unless we know who applied for the position its hard to be critical of the appointment.
The vision of who is ideal and the reality of who is prepared to want to take it on, may be worlds apart.
The fact that he is a Wests Tigers man, knows the game and the fan base, is a plus in my opinion. If he is on board the very least we can do is give him the opportunity to build on where we are at, before we condemn him.
 
"The fact that he is a Wests Tigers man, knows the game and the fan base, is a plus in my opinion."
Sounds like you are talking about Alan Jones!
 
Great appointment!

If he is capable of running the largest state in Australia, I'm sure he can run a Football Club Board.

He has both commercial and political connections, and is someone who people take notice of.

Welcome Baz! And best of Luck.

Not upset by the appointment. Would have some pretty good connections from his time as premier.

I'd send him a bottle of Grange to celebrate his appointment, but he'll probably forget I sent it… :frowning:
