Talk about something completely insignificant

16 teams will need to be involved in order to maximise tv revenue. The league, as much as it may want to use this opportunity to remove some teams from Sydney and start them anew in Brisbane, NZ and the west, I don't think would be silly enough to alienate the fans of the clubs removed. As said in another thread, there are fans of the Bears that have never returned. If a team was close to folding, then that will probably still happen, with this crisis just a speed up of the inevitable. Personally, I think we'll be sweet.

And cutting a Sydney team to introduce a 2nd Brisbane team loses some fans (fans of the Sydney team) while bringing NO new fans! As the 2nd Brisbane would just be converting existing league fans who probably currently back the Broncos. A new team in existing league territory brings no net new fans.

It is insignificant. Clearly it’s an issue for you, so you’re assuming it’s an issue for others too. I’d bet Harry wouldn’t even know what CC is, let alone have demands for what team represents us in that competition.

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but I wonder if the foundation was established for Harry to include in his benefactors if the time comes?

He wouldn't want to name the club directly as a bad CEO could just burn through the cash.

An endowment fund often will have rules.

One thing is for sure in regards to Harry T contribution. The NRL considers him or did consider him too close to the club for 3rd party arrangements. That tells me he isn't just a fan.

That was when he was a major sponsor.

When he pulled back from that - he was able to enter into third party agreements if he so desired. Whether he is party to that I have no idea.

Don't think Ashfield would sell it to him, even if he wanted to buy it.

I was under the impression it was after he was a major sponsor. Club wanted to use him as a TP sponsor and it was knocked on the head.
Look I don’t really know. Someone here knows a lot more about the inner workings at our club than me.

You are correct, after he stopped sponsoring the team we were going to use him as a TPA but the NRL said he was too close to the club having been involved with sponsorship for so long!

That Was just Toddy trying to leg rope us as usual.

Notice how he jumped in so quick to take a paycut as well....Parasite.

So I'm hearing a few contrary reports re. Wests Tigers' security as a club.

On one hand, we're mentioned as one of the more vulnerable clubs. That this crisis may cause us to fold or have to relocate.
On the other hand, I hear we are one of the few clubs that has made a profit in recent years, that we haven't stood down employees and that we are in safe hands.

Which is it? Or does nobody really know? And how do we stand compared to other clubs?

I had a dig through the financial statements the other day and Ashfield leagues has around $50 million in assets (which will take a hit, but still substantial) and the Wests Tigers as a club, have been running at pretty much break-even, suggesting lower than average overheads.

Yes, the leagues clubs will have to shut for a period of time. But I can't see it eroding all their assets. Hopefully, they've got some fairly liquid ones (i.e. Cash) which will get them through this period.

Plus, we also have some heavy financial backers with Harry and Lee that can tip in a bit of cash.

I think we'll be fine.

The interesting one is uncle nick at the Roosters. His fortune has been absolutely smashed recently. His stock, APE, has lost 80% of it's value in the last few months. He's still a rich man, but he'll be hurting.

Roosters have Politis and a rich league's club. Anyone hoping they won't make it will be disappointed.

Politis will have no problem saving the Roosters. He's that loaded, the club is just a hobbie for him.

I’m sure Politis has other investments but the motor trade isn’t doing so well at the moment neither.

GOOD NEWS
Telegraph reporting that WT'S received there Grant from Wests Ashfield at the beginning of the year and it has been paid in full.When this is all over we should all make the effort of joining WESTS ASHFIELD as a small thank you to keep what we all hold near and dear to our hearts.

 

[Telltails]

For all the bagging this club has had to endure -warranted - we should be grateful for the position it is currently in which appears to be a sight better than many.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

however remember most on he think the Telegraph is the Devils scripture 🙂
foxtel and telegraph arent all that bad
