Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[siv]

Who does the NRL meet with when negotiating with Fox Sports? Is it the shareholders or people with operational control?

They have access to the hidden cameras in the board room

They meet with people of influence and most importantly, decision makers. Larry is both & is the top of the tree.

Being the controlling shareholder doesn't necessarily make him the decision maker. It just means he put the money up for his son. The same filing you are using to declare him the decision maker also stated that David is Chairman and CEO.

Again. None of that has any relevance to your assertion that PVL is seeking to have a meeting with the wrong person. Clearly he is. Whenever the deal is done, which it is, Larry Ellison is the top of the tree when it comes to (Channel 10/Skydance/Redbird/Shell/NBC/whoever else wookie vomits/nominates in an effort to deflect)

But sure......go ahead & write another load of misdirection in a vain attempt to defend your credibility. Yawn.

By the way, since you want to talk about credibility. Why would Larry have any say in the business of Redbird? It is a minor investor in Skydance, along with numerous other businesses. Probably best to get your facts straight before acting like you know more than anyone else.

Its reported this deal is upwards of $11 Billion with Larry being the 77% controlling shareholder. That effectively makes him the owner of the business. Anyone who thinks he will have little or no direct interest in important matters of the business is delusional.

Take your own advice and get your facts straight. Nowhere did I say Larry will be having a say in Redbird so dont put words in my mouth.

The issue at play here is simple. Its a debate solely about the statement old mate Wookie made that PVL was trying to meet with the wrong person. I believe PVL is taking exactly the right approach & is seeking to meet the right person. Only an idiot with no common sense would construe meeting with the owner of a business as being the wrong person, but hey, believe what you want to.

This brilliant idea might finally get some legs

South Pacific Rugby League (SPRL)

The NRL is no longer an appropriate name for our comp. We consist of teams from two countries, not one. The name is too Australia centric. My proposal is to rename the comp and to rebuild it into a truly South Pacific Competition. I’m proposing three new teams: PNG NZ2 Perth or Brisbane 3 With...

Well it’s getting out of date very quickly. Add PNG and it’s basically nonsense

People know NRL. How many names has Super Rugby had and it has become irrelevant.

The idea is more than an acronym. It’s about growing the game and dominating the South Pacific.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Call it ‘Sexy League’. Not only does it finally drop the word rugby but it’s relevant, its gender neutral, it’s memorable, it’s sexy. And remember, you can’t spell sexy without, sex.

Not necessary IMO. The NHL or NBA would not be changing their name to accommodate the Canadian teams.

Here you go.

Put that into a mockup footy badge logo. All fixed.

The NBA didn't when it admitted Toronto Raptors and the Vancouver Grizzlies (who have since relocated to Memphis) back in 1995.
