WestsLife podcast

Believe what you want . Im stating facts . We used to bleed money now we make some .
Doesn’t mean I want him to stay , but credit where credits due .
Some. We have had some coaches, some players , some support staff. Some officials. We make some money. It all sounds very mediocre and unimpressive to me.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with asking for a bit more after 12 years in the wilderness, you don’t need to agree.

…… ? What are you talking about ?
I’m merely talking about Pascoe getting us from bleeding coin to making it . And he should get credit for that . I’m not defending him or saying he should stay .
You’ve gone off on a tangent not applicable to what I’m talking about . It’s ok to admit someone you don’t like did a good thing . I don’t understand the mental gymnastics your doing right now …

Do we make money? Everytime I ask for details no one ever provides them. But it just gets repeated over and over.

In 7 years I am sure he’s had a few good days, just not enough to retain his job imo.

LOL. Sounds to me like some on here went to a flashy PowerPoint presentation and got shown some impressive financial graphs.

The proof is in the pudding. If we have money, it’s not the sort of money that attracts good footy players on mass.
 
Hmmm...
A very, very, very long worded SMS, on par with an emotionally charged ex lover sending a 'burn' message after consuming two vodka lime and sodas...
Lack of punctuation and paragraphs
Insulting 380k fans....
Overall passive aggressive tone...
I give Lee's text 1/5 stars
Are you a paying member or a pleb fan? that will determine the weight of your star rating, factoring in Lee’s opinion of the varying forms of Tigers supporters.
 
Yes I did read them in full. There's plenty of ammo to be perma-negative about the place and constantly criticise. He gets on SEN every couple of days to play the Iraqi Information Minister of WT while the club is falling in a screaming heap. It's happened partially under his watch too so he is somewhat as culpable as the others.

His response to valid criticisms of the chook raffle that is WT is that if you aren't a member you aren't worth shit to the club. An attitude like that it's not hard to see that at least from the Chairman's viewpoint, the club doesn't value all of its fans. Why would anyone want to tip in?

horse he rode in on, he can take his ambulance chasing badge with him. He can take the koala with him.
Well again, that's not entirely what his text says.

Yes there are plenty of reasons to be upset by the Tigers, but most of us are not running podcasts slagging off the admin. Then they invite the admin onto their podcast. I'm not sure what reaction they expected.

The criticisms of Lee are mostly warranted in my opinion, but that doesn't mean Lee is wrong to call them out for being constant nay-sayers, then asking him to come on for an interview.

When all you have is criticism, and you offer no solution or no work for towards a solution - then I can totally understand where Lee is coming from. Again, my opinion is Lee is being naive about the impact of the way he speaks to fans and members, but that doesn't mean his comments are entirely wrong either.

For example Lee puts a lot of hours and a lot of money into the club. Nobody seems to be grateful for this. He gets criticised often, and it seems to me mostly because Lee is an easy target - a bigwig lawyer who wears odd hats and appears fairly arrogant. But that does not abrogate the fact that Lee H volunteers a lot of his time and money to attempt to make the club better.

So I can totally understand Lee then having an emotional response for being called out all the time. His mistake is probably publicising that response.

We had a similar thing with The Ambush stuff, though on a much smaller scale obviously. People critical and calling out the attempts to engage with fans and members, without really understanding what was going on. It's difficult because many footy fans are fickle and very quick to criticise.

Surprised this Lee talk hasn’t made the mainstream media yet… media froth over any chance to kick the boot into the Tigers
I think you’ll find Hooper had something to say on this matter today. Must subscribe to the podcast me thinks.

100% appreciate his financial dedication to the club.

Think he’s way too thin skinned and lacking industry awareness to be a sports administrator. He’s being eaten alive by fans.

good people that do good things dont crave the spot light or recognition or stick their heads in the spot light and belittle the people they are leading,yes he may have got the books in a good spot,but that is no reason 2 ridicule 70/80% {pick a number} of the fan base,turn it on us saying we dont tip in enough,2 b so thin skinned shows arrogance,whollyer than thou attitude,thats if it really was L Hap responding.its modern media after all,good cop bad cop,lets kickup a storm collect the clicks,Lee should go have a beer with the punters at the local and tally the response,the silver spoon wedged in his oraffice may dislodge
 
I wonder if successful chairmen listen to fan podcasts.
Given his reaction, Lee does listen, or has been told about their rants.

The Wests Life crew have for years laid into the Board, Wests Ashfield, Pascoe, the bunker, referees ... sloppy ball boy work - you name it, they’ve carved it up.

Each to their own BAGN. I reckon we’ve got to rethink our organisational structure and give Sheens the keys to the footy dept and leave Pascoe to the Commercial side. He clearly does well in that space but not so much in the footy side. Run with specialists in key areas that deliver results in their respective areas of expertise. A bit like a defense coach and an attack coach. If the moneys not there to invest in the football program we can’t go anywhere.
