Scurrah

[Auckland4ever]

I don't think either party is worthy of backing. All aspects of this saga have been poorly handled at the top level by all concerned.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Seriously what the f**k has happened? Can anyone remember the high after the tigers win? Who smashed a mirror? Own up

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Let me take you back in time to really fuel that anger

Listening to OG's response on Radio Sport this morning:

http://www.radiosport.co.nz/audio/521148793-sir-owen-glenn--turmoil-at-the-warriors

Seems to me like this is becoming a fistfight over which one of them solely owns the club.

ETA: having listened to the end, i'm thinking OG is off on another planet (and not just the one that billionaires are always on). Certainly good at talking in circles.

 

[Scott]

From everything i've listened to so far, I'd have to back Watson over Glenn. I'm wondering if Owen Glenn is actually ok (as in healthwise). He's clearly lost his mind and stopped taking his medication.

 

[JJ]

Sooner have Glenn as the sole owner FWIW

More from OG (or is it SOG?):

ETA: i really don't think it's a good idea to take a bid for sole ownership into the public eye. All it does is make me feel, as a fan, that my club is being treated like a chew-toy by people who don't live in the same world that i do.

 

[JJ]

For sure, and they certainly do things out of self interest...

But, SOG does try to do things for the community (not sure the same can be said of Watson), and while doesn't always go perfectly there is tangible evidence of that...

His comments around academies etc, developing the game are what I want to hear... at the end of the day, someone wealthy will own the club, he has more money, and a demonstrated commitment to the community...

Owen G. sounds just as convincing as Watson to me, so currently it's a tie.

That last press release certainly made more sense than his interview with Radio Sport, where he sounded a little like an elderly man who hadn't taken his dementia medication.

At the end of the day, i don't care who owns the Warriors. I'd just rather it didn't play out like two spoiled kids trying to out-cry each other.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

I thought he sounded ok on the radio too.

 

[Izz]

Maybe they can solve this the old-fashioned way: by duel, preferably American Civil-war era pistols.

 

[jamaman]

Watson Owned OG!

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Ahh to hell with it
We'd be better off if both Watson and Glenn sold up
Bring in a new buyer, none of this childish bickering. He said, She said nonsence.

Scurrah, Im not so sure on, he seems an obvious scapegoat, but look at the environment he has to work with.

Indeed....it is a shame that this has happened. I'd love to see both of these guys, and many more successful folk like them involved in the code...it is a far cry from the 70's+ era I was raised in as far as people with money wanting to be involved in League is concerned.

It is clear that the Warriors need a strong intermediary...a CEO/Chairperson, whatever their title may be that can keep these two blokes in check as well as run the club successfully. Clearly, we do not have this person at the moment.

 

[MKEB...]

off the top of my head some names that could conceivably do that ..albeit not likely they ever would consider it.

Martin Sneddon, Dave Currie, John Hart,

Dave Currie - The Warriors would be doing hakas all the time

 

[hitro]

Yep Dave Currie is well embarrassing..
