Almost sounds like it’s Tony doing all the talking regarding the article.
I actually tried applying a week ago. It's old school, you can apply online but you then need to physically show up. No way for me to be a member overseas.
The challenge is we'll just get another HBG muppet. There needs to be structural reform. Let's see if they can put the community first over self interest... They can still vet the nominees and keep control, but to succeed, they need to be able to cast the net to more talented business people.
Yes we need structural reform, but the bare minimum is to remove the current board, they have proven they can't make good decisions, can't plan strategically, can't stick to a plan for more then 2 years, can't stop leaking information to the press etc. Someone new appointed from HBG may just possess the skills and experience required, they may not, but any change brings about the possibility of positive growth that we currently don't have
It is, and yeah it's embarrassing that a club like Wests Ashfield is so backwards. I had to go on in person to renew my membership which lapsed during lockdowns. It's just absurd that there is no online application process, other than due existing and current members wanting to extend.
First world problems.
Yes there does need to be structural reform, which should include less involvement from HBG and a stronger more disciplined approach on director appointments with priority given to those who have demonstrated strength in objective focussed management.
They are not mutually exclusive mate.
I get what Hammertime is suggesting though.
I wouldn't mind a structure like that, Balmain Leagues doesn't exist as a separate entity anymore so would have to be a Balmain football club rep.
No
The Holman Barnes Group and Wests Ashfield are the same thing essentially.
That board you have described is heavily slanted.
If they have any common sense, part of the review outcome recommendations would be for the vast majority of fans to mind their own business and stop assuming they know all about the decisions and happenings at board level and that’s regardless of whether or not there are changes to the current board,
That is why the review was important, there is obviously something very wrong at the club. We all have our opinions on what that may be, but it is important to know what is wrong.
