Another Tiger Departs as Carnage Continues at Concord—Who’s Next?
Shane Richardson resigned amid a governance clash with majority owners, following dismissal of four independent directors and an NRL complaint about his financial dealings.
- On Monday, Shane Richardson resigned as Wests Tigers CEO one week after the club's owners dismissed four independent directors, less than 18 months into his four-year deal.
- The Holman Barnes Group said owners felt excluded from key decisions like stadia strategy and player signings after appointing four independent directors in January, with disputes over next season's jersey design.
- A complaint to the NRL alleges financial irregularities linked to Richardson, with scrutiny of a digital marketing company he part-owns; Holman Barnes Group may probe the matter, affecting his payout.
- The Wests Tigers board will meet next Monday to discuss new board structure and leadership, while Shaun Mielekamp, general manager of football, is set as interim CEO and Tony Mestrov is an external option.
- With the club having improved in the past year, stakes are high around governance as HBG accepted Richardson's resignation and promised new leadership in the near future.
