they would only relocate if they were extremely desperate and in that situation i would be all for it if it meant manly was still around long term.
I'm not talking about just relocation, I live in QLD what difference is it to me where their home ground is, I prefer them at Brookie obviously
I am talking about any and everything they want to do

Well you and me both have something in common that we both live in QLD.
But whatever there plans will be to turn this club into a profitable organization, they wont be looking to change the name or relocate because both owners love Manly. The fact of the matter is if you a worried about relocation as your not, as this looks highly unlikely after this recent purchase & as it was a scare tatic from Delmege.
If they sack a player or a coach,also highly unlikely, Manly will live on.
But the benefits from a sole ownership is quick decisive decision making without the argument or disagrement between parties.
Now some might argue what happens if they make the wrong decision well now this is where the board will come in and help with the decsion making. They might not change it but offer different perspectives.
There are so many business that fail due to improper action and disagreement between parties with 50% ownership. This can be applied directly to Manly especially in the case of the purchase of the Leagues club, Grant Myer job, Des Hasler contract, Sponsorship Saga and even the Monas Saga were due to disagreements between parties. Now if one party were involved these "events" would not have happened and there would have been quick responses yes or no which would save the long negative media fest that it leaves behind.
when these parties or factions disagree it creates ineffectiveness and inefficiencies for the business which otherwise would have not been created if one has main ownership.
What the worse they could do to destroy the club?.... that they love
Anyways that's just me and it seems i will agree to disagree on the issue.
