Senior figures at the Wests Tigers are pushing for a leading administrator in the world of Supercar racing to take over as the embattled club's chief executive. Current CEO Justin Pascoe is under siege, with fans demanding change and the club board feeling the pressure to act after years of internal strife at the club. Tim Watsford is a highly respected sports administrator, currently holding down the post of Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer with Supercars. But prior to that, he worked at the National Rugby League, Australian Rugby Union and the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust and left a good impression at each. Only last weekend at the Tigers' final game of another disastrous season, fans staged a protest against Pascoe at Brookvale.
