The $10m question: Did the Dragons choose the right buyer?

Young Gordon has a problem!

It is becoming more & more evident.His daddy has given him something to play with and IMO was paramount in getting Mary resigned.No coincidence that since his tenure the club has been going backwards.

l'm late to this thread but to answer it correctly, forget who our alligences are to, stats and history will show we have NOT chosen the right buyer.

Fact is, it was a boat race from the start.
Gordon had already shored up the required votes by having his son on the board to prospect other board members.

When a better offer came through, they rejected it!
Why ......... Because they would of lost their cushy jobs, hence they accepted the corrupt lower bid.
And we wonder why the club hasn't forged ahead.

Doomed from the start.
Throw in a pathetic coach who obviously can't be sacked and we arrive to where we are today, and they have the hide to question our loyality as fans.

The board and ownership is totally corrupt, without peer ( well, maybe Trump and alike ) .... but thats another matter.

At least Trump tweets the occasional opinion.
Our mob spurns any connection with the fan base to the club's detriment.

Or does Gordon have a Young problem?

I don't know, but it seems to me if the TSE bid was significantly higher in dollar value, then the NRL would be negligent to approve the WIN deal, unless the TSE deal did not meet certain conditions.

The NRL would have had no say in the commercially terms of the sale including price or what was the "best" offer. All they could dictate is whether or not an ownership change would affect the club's ability to participate in the NRL competition as per whatever contracts are in place that allow the JV entity to do so.

where have you been for the past 20 years

we moved to Wollongong a long time ago.

Dopey Dave said “full time”; at this juncture, this hasn’t happened...yet.

He also doesn’t realise SGI isn’t a merger. As you say correctly, he’s well behind the times.

History will more than likely say no........
