maybe Toulon will be our new sponsor after we sue the crap out of them for signing an illegal contract with one of our players

The gabbillionaire who owns Toulon made all his money from comics.

Mourad Boudjellal is a French businessman, the proprietor of comic publisher Soleil Productions. He was born on 5 June 1960 in Toulon, France. He is currently the President of the Toulon Rugby Union club.

I might be wrong but I think this is his most recent photo.

Guessing the Leagues club is now 100% locked in as major sponsor next year, given our Official 2017 Training gear is now available to buy and has PLC front & centre in

Nevertheless, the club remains on the lookout for a major sponsor, but Gurr won’t be selling the Eels short as he looks to find a partner befitting of their jersey.

“We have such a compelling proposition for a major sponsor,” he said.

“With all the economic development going on in the west, by any metric we are the No 1 professional sporting franchise in the fastest growing economy in Australia.

“We want to get the message out that we are a new Parramatta, a united Parramatta, and from a business perspective, I don’t think any other club in the league has the proposition we have, particularly in the region that is western Sydney.

“We need a reputable company. There are a lot of companies that should have an interest in partnering with us in this economy out here.

To Sponsor anything is a interdependent relationship and is all about expanding ones brand. Seeing all the building going around in Parramatta I see a company like IKEA being the right sponsor. Having the same colours as the Eels also helps.

PS Is there an IKEA store in the west? Or are there plans to have one?

I am hopeful that when our new footy club board gets selected over the next month, some of them will have some serious business contacts that could open the door to potential top end sponsors. That should be one of the benefits we see from a merit based board selection.

I would think that any potential sponsor would be very cautious about brand damage, if more shit hits the fan.

Has the dust well and truly settled yet ?
