Wests Tigers take over bid

[sensesmaybenumbed]

You still don't get it Senses. How about you go over to England and go to a match at Old Trafford. Go up to some Man U supporters and try telling them their club history only extends back to 2005 (when they were taken over by Glazer). After they stop laughing and pick themselves up off the ground, they will probably give you a good ol fashioned kickin' while telling you what a brain damaged moron you are.

So they have consulted with you and received permission to exist?! I'm ever so glad. I'd just ask that you clarify your classification criteria to be consistent for those of us who aren't part of Blackcourt investments Pty ltd (est 2006)

Oh? I have bad news for you. You're free by all means to hold an incorrect opinion, but the reality is otherwise.

Manchester United is a private company limited by shares. Glazers simply bought the majority of shares. The Company structure didnt change.

Souffs became a new company when the fairy godfathers bought them. Massive difference.

Irrelevant opinion noted (yet again)

Actually no difference at all. Ownership structure may be different but both clubs continued to exist exactly as they had before (unlike the Mergepies who became a totally different entity)

Meaning of exile in English




exile
noun

UK


[ U ]
the condition of someone being sent or kept away from their own country, village, etc., especially for political reasons:

1a : the state or a period of forced absence from one's country or home. b : the state or a period of voluntary absence from one's country or home. 2 : a person who is in exile.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Still unsure why souffs fans are so desperately invested in the history of another club and feel obligated to try and tell fans of said club how they should feel. Strangely, they get very wound up when they realise that fans of other clubs don't view them as supreme overlords. Perhaps George Piggins could offer lessons in coping skills after being discarded...

It's just a case of when fans of other clubs (in this case the Mergepies) go around spouting a lot of spurious bullshit and expect others to buy into their delusional view of reality. Those same Mergepies fans get very wound up when they realise that fans of other clubs see them as the pathetic joke they really are.

Ok. You do you.

That's kind of what I'm doing. No surprise you can't see the blatantly obvious.

Isn't that what your club did to George Piggins?

Here's a hint - He's not a Souths fan.

With the thread originally being about a take-over, let's talk about hypotheticals about the future of the Tigers.

Will they continue to be owned by Wests Ashfield in 2040, or will our game generate a large enough profile around the world by that stage to have business moguls invest in our clubs?

We've got a great product that's unique, so the potential is there for it to become a global brand. With so much immigration from India and China and us being on a similar time zone to them, we should be looking to establish links with these superpowers.

If you're an Indian or Chinese business mogul looking to promote your brand in Australia, then investing in an NRL team would be a great way of getting people onside. We should look to do this before AwFuL beats us to the punch. The clubs who succeed in this will be the heavyweights of our game.

If they brushed their teeth as much as they post on here then they wouldn't be running down to the denture clinic before their 40th birthday!
