Club Ownership

Interesting that something would potentially emerge after Peil bailing. Were they in the picture when he was seeking co-investors? Do they just like docos with gratuitous mountain biking scenes?

There are some people with serious money that have real estate on the coast - even if their current primary residence is Sydney.

That sounds oddly.. specific.

A lot more serious money than our Cocacabana retiree will ever have.

Do they know it’s a football team and not mountain biking team. Would you really know even if you watched the whole documentary

The Pod quickly mentioned there was potentially new investors keen I'm pretty sure? Where there's smoke, etc

I half wonder whether interest was being held back while Rich was involved? Now he's gone the door is open? Speculating only of course

It's possible Rich was putting the price tag to high (I've heard rumors he did that with sponsors alienating some) or they didnt like him / what he was selling. The timing plus the puff piece for Alyssar and Shaun hanging around is curious.

I thought that was who Syd was referring to

We're treble winners, we deserve a high price tag.

That’s not how business works.

Its a business that loses money. Who is going to pay overs for that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

You are buying a % of overseas transfer fees. Funding the club is your seed $.
Risky business

Maybe they just heard a disembodied voice-they should have looked down

I would love it to be true, but doubt it..... with only 500K coming in for media revenue, and say the club cost 8 million to run, between crowds, selling players and sponsors we need a lot.

Say 20 home games counting the ladies.... say net ticket price after GST and allowing for kids... say $15.00.

If we average 12K per game that 240K over the year at $ 15.00 thats 3.6 million ...

On current averages across the two teams the average is around maybe 5K @ 20 games or 100 K.

I guess a lot comes down to what it costs to run the team ,,,, its obvious we need bigger crowds ... how we achieve that largely comes down to the CEO and I guess APL.... my take is RP was upset with Shaun given the year we had last year not increasing crowds...
