New chairperson?

Well-known member
Well who would of thought the tigers would have sacked taylor so promptly.
Maybe some of the executives were reading the forum. I'm definetly sure the reaction of fans in the public after the loss may of had some sway.
Honestly before the Raiders game I thought we were certaints for the wooden spoon. After the game you don't want to know what I think.
Is it time to get a strong leader at the head of the board?
Who would you nominate?
My pick is Wayne Peace.
Thoughts?
 
Been saying for a while now.

I am suggesting we start a hash tag like my teenagers do….

You are right Marina should go, get someone who at least has some sporting background along with the business credentials.

Why? And what about all the other board members? Should they go as well?
 
The fact no action is being taken when we have a drug problem at the club, yes they should all Go!

We have executives that care about themselves and couldn't care about the club. It only happened when Isaac Moses snookered them. They realised their incompetence and they sacked JT. Go never wanted to do it until it looked bad on her and the board. If the 4 were locked up they would have signed JT to an extension.

I said it before the 4 will stay as they have colluded with the same manager. Watch the Dogs they could sign all 4.
 
Since when did supporting a football team involve whinging and moaning about bloody administrators? You can fairly judge footballers and coaching staff by what you see on the park week in, week out. A bunch of those complaining probably have no idea what being on a board involves or what decisions they're actually responsible for, and they certainly have no idea about the particular circumstances under which this board operates. They might be doing a terrible job or they might be doing a decent job, I have absolutely no idea so I'm not about to start speculating and whining…

Why should she stay? What are the reasons she should stay? And for the rest probably not a bad idea

As they say a fish smells from the head

This isn't about individual decisions e.g. Taylor or Farah, it's about poor governance and overall decision making since day dot - we are in no better position today as a club as we were three years ago.

Go and the cronies bleat on about coaches meeting KPI's etc etc but are they immune to similar KPI's e.g. stop us looking and peforming like a bunch of clowns on and off the field?

How long do they get to "get it right".

Over my time I have known many many directors of companies and organisations who have got necked as at the end of the day the buck stops with the company directors. They set direction, they make the decision on hiring and firing. Simple.

I think any even minded person who isn't looking objectively at this basket case would agree.
But as they say…..each to their own :nerd:

Just consistantly bad decisions from the club which, have continued for 5 years. You don't see this from Broncos, Storm, Roosters. I think the club has to move on from the past and get experienced footy people on the board and in leadership with business acumen.

Hopefully a good coach covers it all up but very few are that good.

Well I have and still do sit on several boards (including a sporting club board) and I know corporate governance. I said three years ago this was the wrong make up of people - especially the Chair, and said it would all end in tears. As a long time fan I wasn't hoping I would be proved wrong but ,….
:bawling

+1.

Not sure people understand the hierarchical nature of the WT (me not fully understanding either). There is the Footy Ops side and the Admin side; both report into JP. Kelly leads Footy Ops so the buck stops with him and Pascoe. The admin side would have their own Director (not sure who) and they would report into JP. JP reports into the board.

Go and the Board will harness feedback on both Op's and Admin fronts and make decisions accordingly. According to Pascoe, the business on the admin side is going OK, with membership and sponsorship and highs since 2012 (yes, the last time we made the finals); however, they own the commercial and contractual challenges with the 'big 4'. Its now just Footy Op's that needs to get their house in order.

As far as I'm concerned, Footy Op's own this coach mess, and admin now own the mess of the big 4\. The Board are only as good as the intel being given to them; data in, data out, garbage in, garbage out.

I don't know, I was only asking a question - the onus was on you tell me why you want her gone and why you only single her out when there are 3 other board members and a CEO making the decisions, as well.
 
I'm sure the opinions of us plebs counted very little to Pascoe and co. If they did he'd have been gone long ago.
 
I agree, they are way out of their depth. Go was a PC hire and nothing else. Look at the most successful teams of the past 10 years (Broncos, Storm, Roosters, Cowboys) and they all have something in common. A stable core of board members who know that they should let the players play and put the best interests of the club first. A successful club is as much about the off field matters as it is the on field.
 
They just made a big decision that a lot of us agree with and we want to push them out as well.

I would be calling for their sacking if they had of extended JT's contract.

We cant start shuffling the decks at that level yet. It would be a massive blow to retention and recruitment. I think Pascoe is going well, let the board see us through this year and based on the outcomes of coach selection and recruitment we can start taking shots at them.

I think we need to look at the playing roster in earnest next - but this should be done in conjunction with a new coach.
 
I'll just leave this here. Andrew Webster, who in my opinion is one of the few sports writers who is fair and readible (and no I didn't add it just because I agree with him…......I did it because he agrees with me. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

This time, they can't blame Robbie Farah.
\

...........,..

And if they are really watching the same game as the rest of us they will see that Moses and Brooks are boys playing against men.

Potential and promise is one thing, and that comes with a handy price tag.

But playing finals footy, winning finals footy, playing in rep sides is another thing altogether and neither have achieved any of that to be demanding salaries over $500,000 a season.

So, if Issac Moses isn't to blame for this disaster at the Wests Tigers, then who is?

Maybe the coach, who was sacked as Souths coach following his infamous Karate Kid impression in front of David Fa'alogo during Mad Monday celebrations.

He came to Concord and promised to bring a hard defensive edge to the side. The last two matches speak for themselves, although in fairness he had to deal with a Tim Simona gambling saga he never saw coming.

When the disgraced centre revealed in The Sunday Telegraph that he'd been snorting cocaine with teammates during Mad Monday celebrations, it rocked the squad on the day of the match against Penrith.

If Taylor isn't entirely to blame, then, perhaps it's chief executive Justin Pascoe.

Early into his tenure at the Tigers, Pascoe was warned about the pitfalls of keeping Taylor. Promises were made about ensuring Farah would be safe; that he'd be treated with respect.

As the deplorable events of last season unfolded, and Farah was told on the eve of his 250th match that he was being dispatched to NSW Cup, Pascoe fell silent.

"We're not going to allow this organisation to drift again," Pascoe declare at a media conference late on Monday.

Drift? The Tigers went out with the tide months ago.

The chief executive, though, is answerable to a board, and on that count it must surely be time for change.

It's understood the club is now paying about $1.2 million for players and coaches who are no longer there: $750,000 to Farah, about $200,000 for Curtis Sironen and now $250,000 for Taylor.

The Tigers have now sacked three coaches in five years. They fell for Taylor's spell, chose him over a club legend on the promise of change, and have now decided to sack him after just three matches.

If the conspiracy theorists are correct, and they've sacked a coach and sided with a player manager in a desperate bid to keep their biggest names, it will go down as the most sickening display from a board in recent history.

So maybe the people at the very top are to blame. And, for a change, they can't blame it on Robbie Farah.
 
Pascoe looked very unprofessional today IMO, unshaven, he looked like he had just woken up. Small thing I know, but still a very unprofessional and sloppy look.
