A director of the Wests Tigers’ majority owner has raised fears fellow board members are plotting to reinstate the Western Suburbs Magpies at the expense of the joint venture.
A director of the Holman Barnes Group, the majority owner of the Wests Tigers, has warned of a growing movement at board level to “see the Western Suburbs Magpies replace the Wests Tigers in the NRL”.
When contacted for comment on Friday afternoon, Andreacchio – who previously served as chairman of the HBG for two-and-a-half years until he was overthrown by Romero in March this year – refused to discuss the text message but admitted he had grave fears for the future of the Wests Tigers.“I’m not going to comment on a very private text message,” Andreacchio, a HBG director of 12 years, told this masthead.
In the letter, it is claimed “There has been a total breakdown in the management of HBG in that the board is completely dysfunctional and the relationships so toxic, it is impossible for the board to operate effectively, or at all”. It was further alleged that Andreacchio was in breach of his constitutional duty after he opposed attempts by a fellow director to change the Western Suburbs Magpies jersey to black and white in the lower grades, because he believed all teams should play under the Wests Tigers banner, including NSW Cup.
The HBG has over 27,000 members. The board consists of seven members, two of whom are elected by general members and five of whom are elected by the remaining 18 living debenture holders. The constitution makes it difficult to effect significant change at a board level.
