Digital isn’t being paid for until now, do’s costs are in football not admin costs. The loans to clubs isn’t in admin costs. Despite all that the admin costs in last nrl annual report went up way beyond CPI and were the most spent ever. Not on development, not on bailing clubs out but on the nrl and arlc administration of the game.
that $80mill was blown 2 years ago. Debts run up, inheritance spent, loan needed, next tv deal already being spent and can you honestly say despite the $800mill plus spent In Greenbergs term the game is any stronger, bigger or better? Greenberg is conservative in thinking but clearly as big, if not bigger a spend thrift than smith ever was. The nrl accounts clearly show this.
There is waste under this admin and there was a lot under Smith's,a hell of a lot costing many millions of dollars, not directly tied to the current regime.
Smith was tight in some areas, but a waste of monies in others,with consultants,entertainment costs, and had little understanding of the rl environment.
Absolute Crap.journalists have been employed already,they are not charity organisations.They are paid out of money held/bank loan.
The loans to financially strapped clubs come out of current monies held by the admin,not out of fresh air.How long have these clubs been it trouble.
You take on additional people to admin/DO /Integrity etc costs extra which happened.To suggest otherwise is financially delusional.
And the clubs mentioned as being basket cases were costing millions before ,during and after the 2 years ago, in addition to paying out sacked/resigned NRL admin/consultants from Smith and about 4 - 5 others who were on upwards of $600,000 pa.
Smith spent $750,000 on a SFS study.Did soccer/union?
Loan needed.As do other businesses wow.
I've already stated Greenberg is conservative ,you're telling me to suck eggs.
The next Tv deal has been spelt out how it will be spent, wow another surprise.Dopey Grant decided to give the clubs extra largesse out of the next Tv deal, not conservative Greenberg.
Areas covered clubs/grassroots/local civic issues.women rl/DO.Of course it's all been spent.Costs are spiralling FFS.
If Greenberg appointed $600,000 a year nonces who achieved zot,I would agree with you.His predecessor did just that.
The NRL accounts don't show that currently.
NB The code may have had $100m plus in its kitty, if Tv deals had been negotiated correctly.
I also find it amusing you banging on about money wasted by admin,because by joining SL,you guys plus the other SL clubs helped the ARL completely remove the $25m plus they had in the Bank circa 1995-7.The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
