New Ownership 2023

[380]

The first buyer was that close that staff were measuring up for new carpet, furniture etc.

The 25 million came from Townsend's desire to make that standard for new licenses and this flowed onto clubs for sale like us and Perth.

We are not valued by the APL. Everyone at the club has done what they can and cannot be criticised and that includes Shane, who has to make a silk purse out if a sow's ear.

Personally, I have pulled a minor sponsorship for this reason. Not looking good.

This post bothers me enough to ask the question as to just how involved Townsend is in the sale process. Was his value of the club just his opinion or was he somehow directly involved in pricing the club to prospective buyers.

The reason i ask this is supporters of the club have the right to know if he did have any involvement. He has no direct involvement in any club anymore particularly the three club owners carrying the can for the Jets at present. Any potential sale and negotiating should be strictly between the sellers and prospects and at NO stage should Townsend be getting involved and even worse to the point where his interference potentially shit canned any potential deal to sell the club.
