That sale was for the club only, not the license. That's a separate sale and obviously hasn't gone through yet for whatever reason.Quote:

These posts have been pretty informative. Thanks for bringing your knowledge to the table - not an area I am familiar with. I'm really going to press this next week (unless an announcement has been made in the interim).

1: How should we pronounce your handle?
2: I recommend against using Facebook.
Thursday gone, the wait continues.Quote:

A business associate of mine from Melbourne was told that it would be finalised and announced late last week.
Surely that means it will be this week !
I just love how Shane?s keeping the members in the loop, he is such a great CEO, here for the people 🤦*♂️
An announcement this afternoon - just received Member's email.
An announcement about an announcement.
I love these times.
I don?t want to say I called it, but....Quote:

Is this an official pre announcement to the announcement or just Shane announcing there will be an announcement in due course and sometime before Christmas ?
Maverick Sports Partners confirmed as the new owners.
Maverick Sports Partners out!
Great news!
Apologise to Shane you jerks.
Oh for ****s sake.

Not quite done yet, the last paragraph of the press release:Quote:

Edit: Dammit Bel 😂
Let us begin the quest for Jet Shaped Hats
Probably pull out in a week when the APL tell the clubs they got to give them 0.5mill and not the other way around.
This!Quote:

He threw me when he mentioned "Rob and Ryan".......
Seems reasonably well spoken, and they're really pushing the community engagement/sustainability which in theory makes sense IF we get the support outside the rusted on 5-6k.Quote:

Some guy called Russell Nelms is CEO/MD of those brands in the sydney region so could be him?

Yeah ok. Sounds more likely than my guessQuote:

Also, Conroy got involved, things got done. I'm telling ya, the bloke is a head kicker and will get it going. People aren't gonna like him, and we usually get all offended when blokes like him are involved and freeze him out so no doubt we'll all shoot ourselves in the foot again.
Might end up with a sponsor though, and good rates on legals when it all goes up in smoke again.
A win/win.
Thanks Griff for getting the deal done.
Now, apologise to Shane you cowards.
GRIFF!!!!!!
5:34 Maurice pats Shane on the back and says "Shane's made some promises I'm keeping him to"
Interesting !
I think keeping Shitshow in charge just shows that nothing will change except the owners, they want members to come back with the same shit management, good luck with that. And lets have another facespace poll to decide the playing strip
I would think he has some KPI's that are absolutely non negotiable's. If the last 3 years have taught us anything Shane is not the person to be the face of the club off the field from the administrative side of the club. He's never looked comfortable dealing with the average punter when he has " had " to. I still remember the day he was walking over to the Eastern side of the ground at the Southern end and a few in the crowd called out to say g'day and he done what appeared to be his best to make out he could not hear them. I could be mistaken but unless he is tone deaf in the right ear then i am putting money on he heard them.Quote:

Just my thoughts.
Club will just use common sense and stick with the goldQuote:
