Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

[BZN]

I fully understand. Now tell me your MagpiePOV? Firstly what is it that makes you a Magpie? And why do you see it as your duty/obligation to express the Magpie POV on a Wests Tigers footy forum?

Sorry tf, not going thru all that rigmarole again.
I'm sick of the whole bloody mess.

2. Because it's a bad structure. Basic corporate governance. Protected groups are for private ownership where people have their capital invested - they are personally impacted by poor decisions and therefore there is an auto mechanism built in for change.

Listed companies answer to shareholders, Public bodies answer to voters and clubs answer to members. All types have mechanisms built in.

The necessity to do that (in regard to WT) will diminish if the review is implemented in full. But they still should change it.

Thanks for your view on debenture holders and I respect that, but your auto correct or something must have skipped over the first part of your answer 🙂.

There was a list of items.

Can't say. I've only been a Swans fan, when they came to Sydney, with David Rhys Jones

I meant more in the sense that with Sydney Swans cultivating a niche fan base of former and new (kids) South Melbourne fans do you feel that is divisive for the Sydney Swans?

Former Wests or Balmain or new Wests Tigers fans aren't going away.

You either engage in spite or receive spite.

Over the next 20 years a lot of the first 2 will start to become extinct.

I would if I could TT.

Like South Melbourne fans right 42 years on.

The idea that the Wests Tigers had a couple of real stars and were very successful between 05 and 11 and pretty much every kid in the SW didn't grow up wanting to play for us is a massive lack of engagement with the SW.

I think almost to a man Wests Tigers supporters will agree that the SW is the future, and a new stadium at Campbelltown would be the ideal outcome.

 

[BZN]

How? I want Balmain to have no involvement with the Wests Tigers, I would be happy for the HBG to have 100% ownership if they give the Wests Tigers true independence.

Sounds like I'm pro Magpies

Heh, what's going on here. You're starting to convince me everything is going to be ok 😀👍 and we may even become best buddies 🥰.
What do yuh reckon Cochise?

 

[BZN]

Must be some Swans fans here.

What do people think of bloods engagement for re engagement with estranged former maggies and Balmain fans.

You're becoming a real match maker M_M 🥰 and positively patching things up as well,
good onyuh.

I'm not that much of a fan, and our family who are, are all just Sydney Swans fans, so I still can't comment 🤷‍♀️

Baz has been appointed however his confirmation will occur simultaneously as the other appointees in order to include the owners in the selection process.

Who are the owners?

BZN maybe you could read my last post..number 4992 in this discussion...

@TrueTiger #4997 I think

Where have we seen this behaviour before? That’s right the transference of tasks and responsibilities from coach Maguire to the board.
It sounds like the so called owners have too much time on their hands, leading them to wander out of their lane?

 

[Iron Fist]

You know there a new bloods fans becoming members who were born 20 years after the relocation.

Do they make Swans fans feel ignored? No.

The engagement with South Melbourne fans is cult like down there.

Helps to have strong board and a winning team.

PS. Sydney Swans are a relocated team, not a merger

 

[Iron Fist]

Great idea.

Campbelltown has to be engaged lke never before ffs.

Its been terrible up to now.

Could’ve been different if Wests Ashfield and Wests Campbelltown didn’t fall out.

But we have another example of the Ashfield mob letting ‘agenda’ get in the way. And wanting to keep Wests ‘inner west’ with the training facility at the original home ground, and putting their misguided energy into the past at Lidcombe Oval instead of the future at Macarthur.

Kids love a winning team. The Sydney Swans are. The Wests Tigers are not.

The key difference being the Swans relocated - there’s a single club involved, not two.
