Typical. The club wouldn’t have needed a top up from it’s owners Wests Ashfield if the board hadn’t brought back Sheens in the first place.
I find it farcical that the Wests Ashfield directors release this article, threatening that they could withdraw funding if they don’t get to continue to call the shots, when it’s the geniused decisions of those same Wests Ashfield directors that have lead to the club being a clusterf**k for over a decade.
What Tony and his cronies need to realise is that the only reason they have an NRL licence at the moment is because the ARLC haven’t taken it off them yet. This review needs to be more than just window dressing. They need to prove they want to keep the NRL licence and willing to make the changes necessary to be successful.
Sydney is a saturated market and if the current owners don’t want to own an NRL club, there are plenty of other organisations that will step in and take up a licence, just is there are plenty of clubs like the Bulldogs, Roosters, Souths and Parramatta who would be more than happy to add our territory to their junior pathways.
