Bizarre 'refusal' behind push to oust Tigers boss

Lee Hagipantelis' refusal to obey a request from the Holman Barnes Group, the 60 per cent majority shareholder of Wests Tigers, to stop constantly putting himself out in the media is the major reason he is set to lose his job.The Tigers chairman holds regular long lunches with journalists who support him and blame others at the club for the Tigers' demise.The media campaign has upset the Group, who also run the powerful Wests Ashfield Leagues Club, and have ordered the review of the club.But the complicating factor is that if Hagipantelis goes, his company's - Bryden's Lawyers - $1 million sponsorship could go with him.
