NRL news, Benny Elias' secret bid to buy Wests Tigers (nine.com.au)

Im not from your forum but I wouldnt let a low life like him be involved in a buyout after what his greed and self interest did to Balmain Leagues club site years ago and the mess it got you into .

A 50.5% stake.
Would it make the place any worse? , it might actually help having the place run by a consortium with a desire to win on the field to ensure their business is successful.
Who knows ? Im at the stage now i couldnt give a shit what they do anymore.

By WWOS staff - 9 hours ago
New South Wales State of Origin coach Brad Fittler says the Wests Tigers should be based permanently at Campbelltown
Balmain Tigers great Ben Elias and a financially backed consortium have reportedly held secret meetings to discuss buying a majority share in the struggling Wests Tigers for up to $10 million.

The Daily Telegraph reports, Elias and a group of Sydney businessmen have completed due diligence over an ownership proposal.

According to the report, Elias has arranged to discuss his plan with Wests Tigers powerbrokers early next week.

It is understood an offer could be lodged quickly, pending NRL approval, if there is interest from the Tigers.

I get the feeling that this could be really shit. If we could somehow jag a win or two though I'd be all for it.

I can see a nice high-rise development at Leichhardt Oval coming.

Neale, the greenies on council would never allow it, even though you could improve the current place into a great green, stadium.

Elias would want the team relocated to Perth like he has wanted previously. It’s all about him with Benny.

Not saying a move west wouldn’t work.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

He can get f**ked.

Here endeth the lesson.

 

[Das Hassler]

He can get f**ked.

Plus 10% GST

My ex-girlfriend went out with him in the early 90s and I can confirm that he is every bit as sleazy and underhanded as he appears.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

I'm at the stage where I couldn't care less anymore. Whatever we're doing clearly isn't working, maybe such a drastic change is needed. That said, it's pretty hard to trust anything to do with Elias. I can't see it ever happening though.

Wait, what?

After what our team dished up for Tommy, now they come up with this shit.
If elias becomes an owner, I'm done. Filthy slimy.
I'll have a lifetime supply of black, white and gold fishing rags.

 

[benched tiger]

He just wants to sell us off to WA, he is a cancerous little prick.

All great tragedies must have a third act. The roller-coaster of emotions we have experienced over the past 20 years have defined our story arc and Benny Elias has been a part of that whether you like him or not. Him buying the Wests Tigers is the perfect vehicle to enter our Third Act, and ultimately our demise.

Say what you want about the Tigers, we have always provided thrilling entertainment

Yeah, I’d back a re-admission from Glebe or Annandale.

Yeah but this is a new low ...even for us.

They might sell us to Malaysian business interests like they did the leagues club.

Wealthy f**kwits shooting poor villagers for fun.

 

[The Charlatan]

f**k that merkin. Benny only does what's best for Benny.

 

[Delboy]

When you see how some sponsors interfere with the club, can only imagine what would happen if Benny had a part of Wests Tigers.

Im not supporting it by the way , just saying everything with have done thus far has failed. If it was perhaps someone more trustworthy it may work.
The scary thing is we dont have a football club membership clause to vote on these sort of take overs as its merely a donation and season ticket holder basis , its in the hands of the crazy board and the NRL while we just feed them the dollars without any legal vote or feedback about the clubs direction
