yup....was it a third of the price Manly sold for? A quarter? :lol: joke of the league
:crazy::crazy::crazy:
adamkungl, while I disagreed with you 99% of the time, I've never thought you were a borderline genius, until now. Souths weren't privately owned in the first place so the selling price means nothing. Whether it was $3 or $3,000,000 or $30,000,000. The important bit is how much the owners put into the club once they own it over the short, medium and long term.
Crowe and HaC have put millions upon millions into the club, giving it the best facilities in the league. Souths now have the best of everything off the field. Whatever resource they want, they have, no more looking with jealousy at other clubs. And what do Manly have? sh*t stadium, sh*t facilities. Going around begging wannabe PM's (who end up losing) to throw a few cents their way. If anything Manly is one of the poorer and less resourced teams now, and Souths is one of the richest. In a year's time will Manly have the money to chase after Bennett? No, but Souths will. Oh the irony is so sweet considering just about everything that happened from the 70s to the 90s.
