Out of the $20m which you merged with us for.
Mark Cannon did the correct thing in pulling out of the JV after pressure from the Save the Bears supporters group, otherwise we'd have ended up like the Magpies are now, only sooner.
His visionary move was only going to be a success if Manly headed back to Brookie, renamed as the Sea Eagles and sat on their hands on the peninsula, leaving the game to rot elsewhere and leaving the Coast and north shore with nothing - a plight identified by D Gallop as the major attraction of the CC Bears bid.
It was a calculated risk based on the Manly admin not wanting to relocate permanently, because Peters/Vautin/Fulton said repeatedly, referring to Gosford, 'we can't wait to get out of this shithole'.
So thanks for being so frank Sea Eagles dinosaurs - all 3 have been seen off now but the CC and north shore and other decent fans of all clubs haven't forgotten the mugging we got from the club we helped form.
When we get a license all this crap can be revisited every derby in the stands...what fun! And if we don't get a license your club will be as dead as ours w/in 10 years as the last lights go out on league on the north shore - so better join up today at www.centralcoastbears.com.au
if Manly got so much Money, from the JV why were the Northern Eagles broke and kept asking for money from Both Leagues Clubs (wich got Knocked Back) and why were Manly 72hrs from Going out the Back Door at one stage......as the article in my last post points out the Bears have a History of being under handed to get their way
that fact will never change
