Businessman Has “Set Aside $10 Million” For Perth NRL Team
FORMER Perth Reds chairman Laurie Paddy says an un-named businessman has set aside $10 million dollars to underwrite Western Australia’s return to the NRL.
In the wake of the Dolphins’ admission to the top flight, Puddy was speaking on Higher Ground, a radio show hosted by former Reds player Chris Warren. He said he and former Perth Reds chief executive Gorden Allen were ready to head up the new franchise.
“I’ve met with the government, I’ve met which colleagues, business people – money would not be a problem,’ said Puddy.
“There’s one business colleague who is prepared to put up $10 million as a guarantee and so-on so money will never be an issue with the next rugby league team coming out of Western Australia.
“Three million people over there are busting to have their own team and support it.
“You know, I went to the last State of Origin in Perth and I had tears in my eyes because a lot of the people walking into the ground were wearing Western Reds gear – jumpers, shirts, jackets.
“Ready to go – all we need is someone to say, ‘we’ll give you consideration, you start getting it done’. Gorden is now back in Perth. He’s chomping at the bit. I need to get to Perth and get an opportunity to talk to Peter V’landys again.”
NRL chief executive Peter V’ladys has previously spoke on the record about Perth being too far for players to travel and having too many “rusted on” Australian Rules fans.
Puddy said: “I’ve had some discussions with Peter V’landys and I understand that there will be further discussions.
“However, nobody’s too excited about it and they’ve obviously had their hands full. It’s not a five-minute job. It’s a three-year project. It took three years in the past to put the Reds together and I would say that it would take us two years to do it again.”
Puddy said he was determined to continuing his pursuit of a return for the Reds, who competed from 1995 to 1997 before falling victim to the Super League War.
“We put too much money and too much effort into it from the outset to let it just go away. We know what we achieved and there are still people who are willing to go back to Perth to finish the job,” he said.
“I just need to have the people at headquarters to acknowledge that three million people in Western Australia can support a rugby league team.”
If that's the case then why do you keep responding to my posts you dumb bastard?Everyone on here other than your alt ignores what you’ve got to say.
Perth Red telling lies again.
Good business by Gyngell. You can bet that he sold that game on to Fox at a much better penny than he bought it for.
If you sell a car for $20 grand, and the buyer sells one of its doors for $10 grand, you still got $20k.
