Red Bull Newcastle anyone?
Oddly enough when i was having a discussion with my young bloke about the alleged money behind the Canberra bid and how they were so disappointed by FFA's decision not to grant them a start that they would not wait around for FFA to get there shit together and afford them another opportunity to bid and would move on.
I recall at the time the investor did not wish to be named but had in interests in a few other clubs around the world ( in actual fact it was mentioned they were just as cashed up as the city group ) and would quickly move on to put that money toward another acquisition as soon as practical. I said to my young bloke it could be Dietrich Mateschitz and his company Red Bull.
If and that is a big if it wouldn't take much of a salesperson to sell the potential in the Jets and Newcastle over a ACT start up.
Red Bull - red bull air race - jets - Newcastle.
I like.
Given Jack Ma has an affiliation with Newcastle and in particular Newcastle University perhaps Lawrie and Martin should approach him.
Apart from looking to sell 9 months ago there are no surprises here.
Nobody was to know the trade war was coming. Ain't Lozza's fault either. Lee achieved his goals a year early so the potential is there for all to see.
I've been seeing this shit since 1978.....this is so Newy.
Be great to see BK again......
My theory now is that he is setting us up for sale. Cut the wage bill to a minimum (incl staff), put some players on long term contracts (i.e lock in assets) and then offer us up as a clean slate to build with.
We better hope the top 4 spend big on marquees and they leave some decent players available who are pushed out by marquees. (So then we can buy the mediocre players who are pushed out by the players pushed out by the marquees)
Four clubs including us and Roar after Roy.
We had the chance weeks ago.
Roy's contract offer withdrawn - he will now leave the club.
My guess is he wanted a two-year deal and we were only willing to give him one, maybe with an option to extend to a second if parameters were met. (I've got zero idea BTW).
We've got a history of doing this - we did it with Hoole as well (pulling the contract offer).
Interesting to see how we replace him next season.
Were ****ed, Also we wont be having any marquees next season. Mr Lee can F*** Off
i tend to agree.
thanks for the efforts though Roy, especially this night - https://www.foxsports.com.au/footbal...9638be55837200
Middlebys come in all shapes and sizes it seems.
Just think, exactly a year ago we were in the Grand Final..
