Senior Management and The Board - MEGA Thread

[AmericanHistoryX]

20.years at a job is too long unless you are the owner. Look at our world leaders.

Stapleton is an accomplished board member......nearly 20 years good times and bad.

That type of experience supersedes other qualifications.

He is also the important voice for matters pertaining to the Balmain influence within the WT.

Probably what is wanted by some on here, especially former Balmain fans is an ending of majority Wests Magpies control of the club especially since Balmains unfortunate financial demise and this is manifesting in all sorts of round about ways.

But what they don't get is that control is via the HBG which was set up primarily by Wests ownership to provide for an inclusive stable identity structure for all fans, Wests, Balmain and Wests Tigers.

We have all much to loose if this changes.

yes.......would hate to loose (sic) all the unbridled success that the current structure has brought us.

The next question is, how do we know if the board fully apply all of the recommendations of the report? Maybe they make a change or two and say they listened, but if the report called for wholesale changes then they haven't actually endorsed the findings of the review.

It's tricky as making the findings public is unlikely, but there's no transparency otherwise either.

This shouldn't be for public consumption.

The review was petioned by certain people supposedly as a means of helping the club find remedies for improvement.

Having gained signatures they presented the petition to the club who decided to proceed.

Having proceeded the club has fully implemented what Cochise and co requested.

Matter ends there.

The club as a privately owned group is under no obligation to make the review public. Why should they in any case. Unlike Parramatta or Cronulla there weren't any serious breaches or allegations . And besides they are in current discussions with high profile players and Richardson. Do we need the media.

The petitioners request has been fulfilled.

It should end there.

It wont though...its too big

It wont though...its too big

Also small..... in how the world works or how deep your mind goes.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

yes.......would hate to loose (sic) all the unbridled success that the current structure has brought us.

It can get worse.

A loss of identity within the WT of Balmain. Could've already happened, thankfully it wasn't the case.

A loss of identity within the WT from the magpies legacy.

Financial demise, relocation, exclusion.

I've seen it. All of it. That's how I know.

At least we have a club.

Balmain closed theirs. We are supporting them and are happy to do it for inclusiveness.

We have something to build on.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

So what you.are saying.... there is no Unity.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And how does the club help.your family?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Your children?

 

[Magpie_Magic]

So what you.are saying.... there is no Unity.

The unity has already been created with the HBG.

I know it's Wests Magpies controlled financially but that's only because Balmain cannot contribute.

The HBG is inclusive not exclusive.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

And how does the club help.your family?

Takes money from us via pokies.

[AmericanHistoryX]

Wests Tigers pull trigger on seismic board changes in effort to revive struggling club

The much-maligned Wests Tigers have undertaken the most significant overhaul in their chequered history after placing the future of the club in the hands of a new chair and chief executive.

This masthead can reveal that Tigers shareholders have agreed to sweeping changes following an independent review into the club’s governance.

Chair Lee Hagipantelis and chief executive Justin Pascoe will both depart as part of the re-structure, which was officially endorsed by the shareholders of the club on Monday night.

This masthead understands Pascoe tendered his resignation on Tuesday.

The Tigers’ new leadership structure will be headed up in an interim capacity by former NSW premier Barry O’Farrell and ex-South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson.

The Tigers had a meeting of the football club board scheduled for Tuesday night but it is understood it has been delayed by 24 hours to complete legal documents and allow the club to get its new leadership structure in place.

Remarkably, it is understood the Holman Barnes Group directors on the Tigers board have ratified their own demise, voting in favour of the changes that have effectively blown up the club’s leadership structure.

O’Farrell will return for his second stint as chair albeit in an interim capacity - he was appointed to the role four years ago but departed after less than 12 months due to other commitments.

Hagipantelis, who is also the Tigers’ major sponsor, has been at the helm of the club for four years but had no say in his future given power to make change resides with the club’s shareholders - the Holman Barnes Group, Wests and Balmain.

The mass changes are the result of an independent review that was ordered by the Holman Barnes Group and undertaken by former NRL chief financial officer Tony Crawford and Gary Barnier, the managing director of Benchmarking Matters and Cooperage Capital.

The changes are subject to legal approvals. O’Farrell and Richardson will begin their roles in the new year.

Holman Barnes chair Tony Andreacchio said the appointments would give the Wests Tigers the strong and experienced leadership that the club needed at this time.

“We are determined to be successful for our members and fans and that process begins in the front office,” he said.

Andreacchio thanked Hagipantelis and Pascoe for their dedication and hard work for the Wests Tigers.

“Lee and Justin faced enormous challenges, but they have left a legacy which gives us a strong base for the future,” he said.

“In particular, they leave us with a world class Centre of Excellence and the club is in a stronger financial position because of the relationships they established with sponsors and other supporters.”

Andreacchio said Holman Barnes believed it was important to move quickly to accept the key recommendation to appoint a new leadership team without delay.

“But one thing is clear – this club is determined to provide the leadership required to be successful in the NRL.”

Danny Stapleton, chair of Balmain, said it was significant that all shareholders were united in supporting the changes.

“We all share one goal – to see the Wests Tigers again become a real force in the NRL on and off the field,” he said.

Dennis Burgess, Wests Magpies chairman, said the club fully endorsed the review’s recommendations because they will be key to the Wests Tigers’ future success.
