Like most we want what's best for our club and as Ken Arthurson once said when Manly and Norths were forced to merge "if you are gonna be raped you may as well try and enjoy it".
Just sick of "the guy is a Gypo so he must be s***" routine - the negativity achieves nothing. Let the new owner decide, make his appointments and then we criticize based on performance. The Gypo thing is great fun on derby day etc but let's be honest - the Central Coast Mariners have been more successful on the field than the Newcastle Jets, end of (so ban me)....if their model was based in Newcastle things would be alot rosier now as off the field, we are pound for pound the strongest in the country. If we can tap into some of that off field know how so be it.
Anything now is a gamble - community model, local business consortium (tried before), Griffo takeover combination of all - any of these could succeed or plunge the club into extinction. Let's go with the flow and see what transpires over the next 12 months.
