What PVL says and what he does can be miles apart at times.
Is any club owned by members? I think souths members are owners but not the majority share.

It is simply not going to happen; particularly not from a majority aspect.

 

[SirPies&Beers]

It’s whoever has the $$. It’s a business end of the day, a company that’s running and operating in a national competition.

Private sector had the cash, that’s what it’ll be. Might end up being some WA business people mixed with some North business people and that’ll be that

Based on what? If club is financially sound then it won’t need private investment so then it comes down to a decision making model.
I have my doubts and feel it was thrown out there to placate wa fans who were pssed at the wa consortium being turned away and the concerns ns would end up owning the license, but at this time we can only go on what is being publicly announced. It’s also in the strat plan.

You’re not this naive are you? Although the 300,000 petition comment might suggest otherwise.

Pretty simple. There won’t be enough members to financially support a club, particularly on the Green Bay Packers model where nobody owns more than 4%. That is unless you want to be the poorest club in the NRL.

Somebody will own a sizeable portion of the club because you need financial security.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Maybe like the Green Bay packers model? In that model no one person can own more than 4% of the total ownership shares.

Be exciting to have a club genuinely owned by fans, as long as it’s profitable and doesn’t need shortfalls covering!
Do fans of clubs owned by league clubs feel THEY really own the club if they are LC members?

The Green Bay Packers model was adopted in 1923 … it’s now prohibited under NFL rules for any other team …

It’s more unique throwback rather than something you should be pointing to for the Bears IMO

Clubs are now making profits arent they? Like I said if they are financially doing well then owners putting money in will be unnecessary.

still 5 years off yet and much bigger things to focus on between now and then!

There’s a stack of member owned clubs in the world inc some huge soccer clubs Like Real Madrid and Barcelona. It’s not an unheard of model By any means.

Real Madrid and Barcelona ..: high bar brother..,

The NFL had moved on though… do they know what they are doing?

Do Barcelona, real madrid, Bayern Munich, every soccer club in Argentina, Celtic, Rangers, benfica etc etc?

like I said only reason it wouldnt work is if the club is running at a loss and needs debt covering. if it’s profitable in 5 yeras, and has built some equity then happy days.

at this point the nrl, wa govt and club have all said thats the aim for future ownership. Let’s see if.it happens.

so you are comparing the Perth Bears with those clubs which were formed a century ago ? I don’t think the NRL is about to

not sure what you’re asking lol

 

[BuffaloRules]

not sure what you’re asking lol

You are comparing some of the biggest football clubs in the world over 100 years old to the Perth Bears

 

[Trifili13]

You are comparing some of the biggest football clubs in the world over 100 years old to the Perth Bears

And some of those clubs are institutions in their country with extremely wealthy backers/supporters who would rather sell their mother than see their club suffer financial hardship.

Souths are partly owned by members

Emphasis on partly

Seriously mate as others have stated below you are applying examples where there is a significant concentration of people in one area coupled with that sport also being absolutely dominant in that area, to the point that it is venerated. Your club is going to be a niche club is an AFL dominated area or state.

Put the Perth fandom to one side and you would see that.

 

[BuffaloRules]

20 percent ?

Do they ever get to vote on anything ?

 

[Iamback]

Emphasis on partly

The members get 1 seat on the board and 25% I think it is.
Mike Cannon-Brooks can buy them out with the coins stuck between his lounge cushions if needed

Exactly. It is called having a security if things go wrong.
