New Zealand businessman Neville Crichton, a New Zealand car tycoon worth $400 million, is ready to rescue Wests Tigers’ financial concerns and guide the club to rugby league’s promised land.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Tigers have been working for the past three months to convince Crichton to join the club as a key sponsor and business associate.
Crichton, 74, is close friends with Balmain legend Ben Elias.
Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe has confirmed the club’s interest in luring former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s next-door neighbour at Point Piper to Concord.
A passionate All Blacks rugby union fan, Crichton enjoys a strong friendship with Politis, who also made his $1.5 billion wealth through cars.
“Neville could be Wests Tigers’ new Nick Politis,” Elias said. “I’m trying to woo him from the All Blacks to Wests Tigers.”
A meeting between Pascoe, Elias and Crichton was postponed last week and rescheduled for the first week of November.
Rich lists value Crichton’s worth at $400 million, although other business analysts estimate his wealth could be close to $2 billion.
Wests Tigers already boast a high-profile network of businessmen and supporters including Lee Hagipantelis, principal of Brydens Lawyers, billionaire real estate developer Harry Triguboff, former NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell — who is club chairman — and John Coates, well-known lawyer and administrator.
Crichton has run and developed major automotive and property companies while also being a world class yachtsman who skippered a Sydney to Hobart win and a motor racing driver who competed at Bathurst in 1986.
His amazing wealth came through founding the Ateco Group, which imports highbrow car brands including Suzuki, Audi, Volkswagen, Citroen, Alfa Romeo, Kia, Fiat, Ferrari and Maserati.

Would you trust anyone in business associated with Elias?
-
Let’s hope he doesn’t do to WT/ALC what he did to BLC.
Wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him and that ain’t very far. He’s just a crook.

Any chance we can get the two topics merged, if there’s a mod around.

I’d have more faith in John Elias to be honest…
