Here we go again? Salary cap issues?

Has everyone forgotten we had a coke head running the board who appointed a bunch of mates and associates into the board and made constitutional changes to the club that makes it nearly impossible to eradicate his ilk from it?

We are reaping those rewards right now.

Funny ey?

Holmes
Salary Cap Scandal
Bad Press

Name one.
Cmon, none of those recent reasons would be the explanation for no sponsors now.

It’s the result of appalling leadership by Lyall and as someone else just mentioned, Keogh and his cronies leaving a steaming hot turd behind for Bazza and everyone else.

Failure to capitalise on 2016 with long term sponsorships structured in a way to ensure that they all don’t finish in the same season was a travesty.

But Holmes has got SFA to do with it, the salary cap is relatively recent and we’ve always had bad press.

It might be making it a little more difficult now to lock in sponsors, but the embarrassment is they weren’t sorted months ago.

Exactly. The football department has done their bit by created a winning team. The commercial department has not delivered.

After the struggle to clear to $13m debt to then go straight back into debt through poor management is appalling. Members should be rioting at the incompetence.

You can bring that straight from the board down through the coaching to the playing group. When cowboys won their first in 2015 everyone sort of said "good on them" and felt indifferent about them at worst. Nobody did that with Cronulla. Why? The culture is shot. Flannagan has proven he will do anything in his power to cheat his way to success, steroids, salary cap (allegedly), destroying the ruck and offsides, and then point the finger at Bellamy for being a cheater. one week in the press conference he laughs about a game changing call that went his way, says it all evens itself out. The next week you guys get dudded and he's sooking in the conference and papers for a week. Luke Lewis spent all of 2016 and 17 offside and leaving early. Look at any of his intercepts. He is way gone before the ball is even played. Fifita, abusing referee's at kids games, fkl, pointing at his coach, going on a rampage on a podcast. Gallen having the biggest mouth of any player yet sooking that papalii was picking on him. Then they immediately burn bridges with Holmes, why? Because ego.

It's a f**king shit show, it's no wonder why nobody wants their company associated with the place. I feel sorry for you genuine supporters who are helpless to watch your club go down the f**kin toilet, albeit with your number 1 fan, buzz, smashing nail by nail into the coffin because it'll fund another bottle of Aldi wine.

Part of the scar of being Cronullified unfortunately....despite being in the best financial position of the past 52 years... but plenty of Sharis fans have serious baggage.

Yeah i know mate, I've been around for a long time, seen it all with us.

But that's kind of my point, things aren't as bad as some are making out.

The salary cap thing is minuscule, slap on the wrist coming our way.

With the club making a huge loss, its not unusual if you want to lay people off to do it in same financial year, the $1.5m would include reduncancies as well, from working with companies this is not unusual put all losses in one year.

So even if next financial year the loss is small it looks good in comparison to previous year.

The concern is now how big the team is how we can match up, location wise the NRL would love to move us.

Dont know who would know the answer, but lets say we were booted or relocated, who would benefit if the ground was sold to developers for more units, who would be in the money ????
