[Resurrected] Penn selling the club??

[47MVEagle]

Did they have to dump this on us mid season?

I "refuse" to accept this!

 

[eagle66]

I'm wasting my time reading this rubbish

 

[Supreme Leader]

r u recycling again Pete

 

[Nordburg]

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? If we get a Nick Politis type owner it will be a great thing. However it could also go the other way.

I’d be worried.Anyone that buys the club will have to be cleared by the NRL and they’ll be looking for an owner that will be willing to relocate

 

[Briza]

Has he got the coin these days?

I read an article about it in the off season, was Max and 4 or 5 other business people.

 

[DUFFMAN]

If true hopefully someone with deeper pockets and a lot of pull with the state government.

It explains the sudden increase in off field investment

 

[mickqld]

Perth, N.Z or Qld here we come.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Probably sees that the next TV deal might not be as high as the last where the club get salary cap + 4 odd mil for operational costs. Get out while it's worth what it is...

I've got one word to say to you Kimmy. URM

Urmmm what..?



Might have to throw that joke on the scrap heap.



Or should I recycle it later..?

If true, I would have preferred to only hear about this when the sale was complete with the ink dry, with it confirmed in writing that we will be remaining at Brookvale.

Instead, in the middle of the season, we have it leaked first through Weidler, with presumably many months of relocation gossip and political maneuvering to follow.

 

[OneEyedEagle]

It should go back to the rightful owners being the FC, wishful thinking out aloud

FC need to buy the $5 Jackpot lottery and collect 64 million next week

I think Eddie Obeid is an Eels fan

Same, however one thing Des has always been good at is keeping off field issues from affecting the teams performance.

But things like that will always be hard to keep in house as you are actively talking to potential buyers.

 

[manlyfan76]

Anyone want to guess the price?

My guess is $16 mill.

 

[JenEagle]

For the first time in years we seem to have some stability and direction and now this happens to derail our season.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Anyone want to guess the price?

My guess is $16 mill.

I can't guess.
I know you can't make money from owning a football club.
So they all say.
So why would anyone?
It was explained to me on here once before but I can't remember by who.
And the reasons were things my brain would never consider so I'd like to hear it again.
Other than passion and love for the club, it doesn't seem good business.
