Rumoured Signings and Even More Crap X

[richo74]

Not sure what 'it' is but if it's the salary cap....the MLB doesn't have one.

It's true that there are some big differences between the NRL and US sports. It's also true that developments over there and elsewhere are reasonable predictors of how stuff develops here (just later). Not rocket science..money pulls the strings.

mlb have a luxury tax


Within this environment, you will not be surprised to realize that Major League Baseball does not use a salary cap. It instead uses a luxury tax, which is a set amount of money a team must pay for exceeding a specific figure that is determined on an annual basis. It's no wonder that the lack of a salary cap coexists with more competitive imbalances in baseball than in the other pro sports (basketball, football, hockey) that all involve salary caps.

Rumor in Soward to finish the season at the eels before linking with the panthers for next year. However if he can sign with the eels before round 13 the eels can have the final say on his contract and are prepared to outbid the panthers.

Serious? Pretty big if that eventuates.

If it happens, ill top myself for thinking such a filthy thought.

How is it possible a club as popular and as followed as Parra be without a major sponser for a season???

Even with us coming of a spoon we have 16k members and are still one of the most popular teams on ftv air tv. Even if the sponsor in the pipeline has fallen through you are tellling me this new board and ken aren't capable in luring in a sponsor that is matching what we have now with Pirtek???


I suppose when you run on "we want to make Parra feel like a footy club again: whatever that means "Lets keep a unprofitable shithole like the Vikings just to keep a few old biddies happy" You have to wonder how are they are going to run a mulit million dollar buisness......

Looks like the Super Mario plumber isn't that all super.........

what about if u roll em over and rub their belly?

Worse still, what about if you have oral sex with a dog. What do you get then? Suppose only Monaghan can answer that.

we don't like the round 13 rule, we wouldn't use it to our advantage :sarcasm:

Great post Avenger.

You get a one way trip to England.

 

[strider]

yeah i think that's a fair post by avenger - sums it up fairly well

I kid you not my friend. I was in the room when it was made up

That could only happen if we offload Sandow to the Panthers.

I'll think you'll find that sandow will be offloaded to the broncs who in return will release Wallace back to the panthers

That's too many variables before Sunday. 1 in 1000 shot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It doesn't sound very credible. Sounds like some spin by some pissed off 3P's.

Isn't that what all bad news would sound like?

 

[The Elephant In The room]

That's too many variables before Sunday. 1 in 1000 shot.

Still better odds than the Eels taking out the premiership this year.

...

Your man love for Ando is very misplaced. The bloke was rissoled because he should've been like every coach since Smith, maybe it was done the wrong way....deadset thought the flogging of this deadhorse would be done.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But Ando was a Parra fan so we should've kept him!

f**ks sake. Maybe Avenger or Casper should be the coach.

 

[Bigfella]

Daniel anderson - visionary.

I wonder what club guys like tanginoa and loko would be playing at if he had his chance to implement his successive 0 year plans?

 

[Ratchy]

Salary cap is a salary cap, baseball and basketball are sh*t sports, and even more so does it rely on the intelligence of people in management positions as your playing field is the same or at least similar to everyone else in the comp. You don't need smart management if you got a 100 million dollars more than everyone else.

Just because in your opinion they are shit sports doesn't mean it still doesn't apply.

And if $$$ is the case why have the Rays been able to compete with the Yankees for the last few years despite having over a $100 million a year difference in payroll. It's moronic to compare US sports to Australian......

I am hearing that the club has blown a major five year multi million dollar sponsorship that the previous Board had just about finalised which was pointed out at the AGM. At the AGM, the Chairman at that point Roy Spagnolo pointed out in his speech that the new sponsorship deal just has to be signed off which now looks like being off the cards. This deal was much bigger than the current Pirtek deal.

When you consider our club is at the bottom of the table and so our sponsorship prospects arent in any way attractive at the moment so this deal was vital for our brand and image.

I hope Ken has a back up plan and the mob he has hired to find our next sponsor deliver otherwise we could have a blank jersey.

Wouldn't this be an unsubstantiated rumour ?
