Again, you tell tall tales to make Manly look good, but you have no clue.
News Ltd magically appeared in 1999 after the Bears were put into administration and lent them $2.8 million to pay the players in full. the 17 cents in the dollar crap was a Manly invention. That's the truth. You can even ask the Former norths CEO who has been a trusted Manly employee sibce 1999!
The Bears were never insolvent and never likely to be insolvent. their administration was a fraud. Anyone with an IQ over 5 knows this.
And the last person who should talk about being broke is a Manly fan. Manly were the club in serious financial trouble. And remember, under Arko, the Beagles came about which saved manly's backside and TV rights were flogged off to Nine for only $13 million a year.
Norths will probably be killed off this year. the latest fraud with the GC has the Roosters, NRL and the media behind it.
But at least Norths have put up a fight with pride not backstabbed another club to survive.
