Great job Barry you nailed it with one glaring exception, the person who arguably contributed more to the clusterfuck than any other individual: GLENDA FUCKING HUGHES - she brought Allen... who brought the new website.... she must so proud.

Same epitaph as Glenda., Good fucking riddance to an absolute disaster whose legacy consists of wasting years of time and energy on the ridiculous "Race Fields Legislation" project and then doubled down by spending $50 million plus on an abortion of a website and outsourcing the crown jewels, the fixed odds operation. But as others have pointed out, it's not his fault he was hired, the people who hired someone with absolutely no racing OR betting experience should be at least fired or preferably put up against a wall and shot.

Race one at Waimate just run,on bet365 the tote diveys are exactly the same as Des Coppins read out,,,now they took bets on our product but do they contribute?

SO YOU JUST HAVE ONE JOB LEFT AND THAT IS TO ALIENATE YOUR CUSTOMERS.............. AND THESE MEASURES COMPLETE THE JOB.
THEY COULDN'T HAVE F%#@ED IT UP BETTER IF THEY HAD TRIED.

I told a mate who works for Radio Trackside last week that they would go crawling on their hands and knees to the government but it has happened way sooner than expected. Such a shame they frittered their rainy day fund on ridiculous projects like Typhoon, Triple Trio and blew $50 million on the worst betting website in the industry. The government should not give them one fucking cent. They need to get rid of most of the 150+ suits they have who get paid $100k plus for doing fuck all. The idiots on the board should also all be fired for hiring clowns like John Allen and Glenda Hughes who got them into this fucking shambles, and RITA should be dissolved immediately. They need to be reduced to a nuts and bolts operation with no freeloaders. And yeah, if I had any money in my TAB account I would be getting it out yesterday! 

Horse people got the TAB into this mess .Look at the makeup of the Board who hired that POS Glenda Hughes who hired John Allen etc etc. They need people with experience in the betting industry. But to be honest it's too late now, they are in debt up to their eyeballs having borrowed to build that piece of shit website,  they've sold Ellerslie and I assume Petone (?) and revenue is collapsing. Last one out turn out the lights. Congratulations to everyone involved. They were given a monopoly in a relatively affluent betting mad country and destroyed it in 25 years. Some achievement given how much $$ is being made by the big players in the industry.  

Yeah I saw the first to be let go was Des Coppins. Never been a fan to be honest but not sure why his head was the first on the chopping block.

Anyone in the world could have bet with them if they had a competitive product. Shit management was and stil is their problem. 

And sport! It wasn't going to win any prizes but it was functional

Des has never asked management the hard questions not like Peter Early but can’t see they’d ditch him for his salary as he’d bring in far more   than what he’s paid I’d suspect. How many 100 k PA faceless norms are still employed by the NZRB ?

Here is the fundamental flaw in TAB management. Shows how stupid they are.
They have employed people who know nothing about racing and wagering. So these people go about copying what other overseas businesses are doing. Overseas bookies have these bonus type promotions therefore "we can't go wrong there". WRONG. What these idiots have overlooked is these promotions unlike overseas bookies with only fixed odds offerings  actually drag punters away from tote betting and onto fixed odds betting. 
With the bonus bets being rather costly the whole exercise is in net term a big loss. Its got nothing to do with some coder being in error. ITS JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY!

Ellerslie has been sold ?????
