But it does suggest naivety at least on our commercial dept in the first instance 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I find it hard to get angry at Bisgrove as he's just doing his job and seems to be very good at it. What I can't fathom is how this idea ever got through the initial stage of "do you think we should consider this?" 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that had been rubbished and I'd be amazed if something like this was ever a go-er unless there was transparency about the money involved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s been circulating in the media they’re getting a bigger fee. If that’s the case we should reconsider our position. And yet another question mark against our commercial department 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a WhatsApp message which was then rubbished by a few reliable sources on social media. I'd no idea It was something which was "circulating in the media". I'd still be very surprised if there was any truth in it tbh. Anybody with a reasonable following can start a rumour these days and the way this one happened just stunk of something one of the "sevco obsessed" would do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had other commercial link ups over and above the syndey cup as a result of the event. How much this benefits them financially or at all is unknown but its an example of how our board have not thought this through as a concept. Had we still had the likes of Craig Moore, Tony Vidmar or the likes I could have seen how this would have been an opportunity for us to expand in a similar manner. But one club has a high profile player and manager from Australia and one club does not. It doesnt take a genius to figure they may get additional commercial opportunity's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a game v them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
