Nice crystal ball you have there.

You are entitled to your opinion as is everyone else. Mine is as follows:

I think your a incorrect in saying….

We have a woeful season coming up in 2016.
*Less members than 2015.
*Taylor can't put two words together.
*That the Board should be sacked (We were a basket case - they are righting the ship).
*Taylor did not ring the Radio station to defend himself but setting the record straight.
*Austin, Koro and Marty were not let go for any other reason than they did not want to be there.
*Galloway,Blair plus the 3 above and others were let go to ease the salary cap as well.
*Private ownership will not be the answer - Harry would not buy (neither anyone else I would think unless they can buy 100% of the Club) because Wests Leagues do not want to sell.
*As a member you are not entitled to vote on anything - this is not a democracy, the owners have the say and as you are not an owner, you do not have a say. Just because you pay a few dollars does not entitle you to determine the future of the Wests Tigers.
*If Harry owned the club - you would not have a say either.

I think your crystal ball is very clouded indeed. You can't see the forest for the trees - that is in my opinion.

Most of what you requoted is total horse crap…

Well said to the original post......, your post was what most people believe and think.
Dont listen to these people with twisted mindsets...

Since all there ideas have come in place the whole club is a shambles.

As I said we can all have different opinions, that is what is great about our country. I would be extremely surprised if we have a good season in 2016 with our rooster but if we do I will give Jason Taylor all the credit he would so rightly deserve. Maybe memberships is goin well, noticed the club hasn't released any figures on this, usually around this time of the year I start receiving calls about renewing but this hasn't yet occurred. I still think their will be less members next year a few I know of aren't renewing because of the way the club treated Robbie.

Member of football clubs at both Wests and Balmain pre merger got to vote for the football club board. Since the merger you are right their has been no members vote for Wests Tigers board positions –- cant really say this has worked well since we have been very poorly run for years and years.

Still don't see the reason Wests Ashfields would not sell their share, it is not as if running a NRL side is a profit making business (I believe Broncos made money, one or two others broke even and the rest lost money). Can't see the attraction for Wests Ashfields to keep pouring money into a NRL side that loses money.

Yes if Harry T owned the club no one else would have a say but given his business background I am sure he would run it well.

You say our problem is the board have no rugby league knowledge but you want harry T to run the club. That doesn't really change things does it?

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

We need stability, not constant upheaval.

We have constant upheaval almost on a weekly basis, and it's getting worst, not better

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

They should at least be given a chance to finish the job they're doing before we throw them under the bus. CB summed it up best by saying if we somehow cracked the top 8, its going to make a lot of people look stupid with the way they are carrying on atm.

It certainly is.!!!!

Given Harry T business record I would think he would surround himself be the right people and appoint the best people. In reality if he owned the club and pumped massive dollars into the club and could arrange Third Party Agreements to be able to attract very good players to the club and he has the financial clout to be able to do this (Harry T wealth vastly dwarfs any other person involved in NRL) I am sure success will come. I would have 100% more confidence in Harry T having the money and putting in the resources to turn the club around than the current board.

Hmmm sunshine… You say Wests Tigers would sell because ....Can't see the attraction for Wests Ashfields to keep pouring money into a NRL side that loses money...

Yet you are suggesting Harry T will poor even more into an NRL side that loses Money...I could be wrong but Billionaires don't become Billionaires by throwing good cash after bad...What would be the benefit for him...?

I'm not doubting his wealth but i don't see him being more qualified than the current board. He thinks we should play out of concord!

Sacking the board won't change buggerall. And it's a fools dream to expect that to occur given the current situation the club is in.

I never said it would make money for him. Just like Chelsea and Man City have lost money for years and years it is an ego investment for the owner. I will tell you one thing both those clubs went from middle of the table clubs to the top of the EPL when big cash was spread around on players and coaches. Yes you can say the NRL salary cap would stop that but in reality with Third Party Agreements their is no salary cap and the top sides probably pay their top squad double the salary cap by using these agreements. Imagine the squad we could have with an owner that has far deeper pockets than the owners/management of Broncos and Roosters.

It is like the old joke how do you become a millionaire? You are a billionaire that buys a football club.

 

[innsaneink]

I think his degree of passion for the club has been displayed in him stepping down as major sponsor… While only being there in the first place to help out in a dire situation.
If we were Balmain, things may be different

As Meriton no longer sponsor the Wests Tigers… I believe ..there is nothing stopping Harry from providing these TPA's now...without the added burden of being an owner...

The JV agreement as it currently stands states that the shareholders (Wests/Balmain) are only required to cover any operating loss of the Wests Tigers from year to year...they also can only contribute what the other can afford....Balmain were unable to meet that requirement on the past few years hence the loan from the NRL which is required to be payed back,..Harry could easily chose to cover those debts currently $4mill and beyond...

The current board have been working hard to ensure that Wests Tigers do not have to rely on this funding model...rather they are self sufficient...Pascoe mentioned an improved P/L for the Club..they have done this in the space of 12 months...

The benefit will be, seeing his beloved WT, lift up the Grand Final Shield one more time before he passes.
He's getting on and as we all know Geo, he can't take his billions with him. :wink:

I'm actually happy with the actions of the board thus far.

They've shown that no player is bigger than the club, secured another rich sponsorship, they're looking to lock in one home ground, they won't sign players for huge overs any more and they will make unpopular decisions if they feel it is best for the club.

Past administrations have been tantamount to Nero fiddling will Rome was burning. Current administration are doing what they feel is necessary to get us out of the tailspin. For once we have bona fide business credentials rather than ex-footy players and high profile fans in charge of the club.

I agree with this. I think if we had a better coach things would be better but maybe he will improve next year.

I can't wait though until JT and Robbie are both gone from the club. Robbie is massively overpaid and JT has been absolutely terrible so far. Maybe JT can turn it around but I doubt it.

Hopefully the board though can see the writing on the wall and will deal with all of this over the next couple of years.

SCT, I particularly love the last sentence…. :laughing:

 

[magpiecol]

Well I've had a gutful of people saying how good of a supporter that they've been to this club then spend the next 500 words rubbishing the club.

There's the door - use it

How did things go at Cronulla and Newcastle?

 

[sideline_eye]

Look, I'm sorry but this thread is ridiculous. We're calling for the board to be sacked but just who is going to sack them? Yes, people have the right to express dissatisfaction but calling for the board to be sacked is rubbish; they are the ones who actually run the club, there isn't anyone above them except the NRL and as far as I know, they haven't shown any displeasure.

Now, let's say that there was something that the board should be sacked for - please tell us all what it is. Give facts, not wild guesses and speculation. Any and all reasons given so far are by those who simply do not know anything about what the board discusses and the decisions that they make, nor why they make them.

Whether the outcomes bring comfort to the fans or not, the board is charged with getting this club from being a basket case to being a well managed and solvent business. It isn't at the moment due to the excesses of previous administrations. This doesn't happen overnight but they do have plans in place and they deserve a few years to turn this ship around. I will support them unless they are shown to be acting against the interests of the club or acting criminally and nobody has been able to do that so far.

The sort of knee jerk reaction shown in this thread is just childish tantrums and conspiracy theories; show us the proof that would warrant sacking the board one year into their term.

I look forward to seeing the Wests Tigers as a leading NRL club in the next few years.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

The more i see of the recent crap I'm starting to think the NRL appointed directors are their to make the club look so bad that Perth becomes realistic.

I mean just listened to Taylors pressor and i heard things like" letting Marty go allows us to keep the good young forwards at the club".

We are finished sadly.
