There are positves and negatives to this rumour.
The positives are of course the $$$ to wipe our debt and maybe a bit extra for improvements. Also, the propensity for TPA's comes into play more strongly. It may also see thevend of our current executive structure which has for too long been considered a "jobs for the boys" position.
The negatives are also pretty strong and must be examined in detail and not focus just on the $ investment.
Firstly this Sheikh knows nothing about RL so WHO is the one whispering in his ear about what to do?
Secondly, if he gets "bored" or it isnt returning some kind of profit, wgat happens if he just walks away from it? Where does that leave the club?
Finally, what guarantee do we get thaf our heritage, name, colours and strip remain? Does St George Illawarra Doha Dragons resonate with us?
There is a lot of due diligence needed before this could even come to fruition, thats why and in true business fashion, the deal offered by WIN was really just the first salvo. I expect more meeting between the Dragons board and WIN will take place before a deal or final rejection takes place.
Yes we really need a good "Sheikh" up but lets not put the cart before the horse.
