Reading the articles and reading between the lines, they’ll have us believe that the club has been “low key for sale” the entire time. But over this period they have been trying to get our books in order and have everything lined up to make us look more attractive on paper (e.g memberships, sponsorships, youth teams, women’s team). And to maximise their profit.
Again, they’ll have us believe we were in a shambles compared to Perth.

I don’t think they have ‘intentionally’ been making us play with a non competitive team. A large portion of fan base wanted Pappas and they gave him a crack, to no avail. Saying that, I don’t think we’ve had the budget or pull to bring good players in. But that’s half lack of $$$ and half because of the position we are in. I think it’s probably more from a tight arse perspective of our sugar daddies not wanting to put in more money than they already have. It would make sense for them to dump some cash, make us win the comp, sell that to prospective owners. I don’t think they have too much to gain long term out of making us shit.



From the outside, they’ve definitely done a poor job of selling us. But must be tricky to find some rich people willing to dump some cash for no reward or personal gain post covid. Think they underestimated the task when they took us over. The broadcast moneys and benefit of keeping us in the comp when they saved us, is definitely starting to be outweighed by the risk/prospect of losing money. I think that’s why they are trying to quick sell us.
