Luxbet officially our new major co-sponsor

See Moi and other Chicken Littles.

There was never anything to worry about.   Have a little faith next time in our off field brigade. 

Never had any doubt about "off field brigade" but to say

"There as never anything to worry about" ... is a bit strange.... 3 weeks ago AIG in the US was on the brink...

It was more directed to those who thought just because we didnt have a sponsor by October we were in a lot of  trouble rather than AIG, but on that topic I dont see what the USA arm of the corporation has to do with the operations of a separate Australian entity.  They're by all accounts still running a healthy business here in Australia.

Stick it up your arse.
They have to show they're worthy of my faith first, sunshine.
The fact they've just got a sponsor is something that comes with the job they're supposed to do.
Nothing out of the ordinary
But with a global economic downturn, it could have been worse, so there was concern there, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[tigersalive]

Of course, because for the past 5 years the off-field team have been completely ordinary havent they, in ruining our finances?  Oh wait, we're in the strongest financial position for a long time.   

Of course it's what they're supposed to do, and they have delivered.  But even now that isnt enough for you and you need to be approving in hindsight?  I think you're letting your recently found vendetta against Gary March after the 5/10 "debacle" lead you on this one.

We are about to sign a sponsorship that is worth more than the AFG deal during a time of economic downturn.  I cant see the weakness here.

[Moi]

I cant see the weakness here.

I don't remember saying there was a weakness
Don't accuse me of vendettas, you haven't got a clue!

You clearly thought the club wasnt doing enough to find and announce a sponsor in September and initially blamed Gary March.

It may have not been a vendetta but you have become overcritical of him since he spoke what he considered the truth in rating Richmond's year.  Just a personal observation.

[Stripes]

Fantastic news! I was starting to become a little concerned given the stage of the year but this is a great result for the club.

Then call it a personal observation then if that's what it is - and it is.
If I don't like someone, is it the case that it's supposed to be a vendetta every time I make a negative comment?  No.  Unlike you, I'm a pretty balanced person.  I'll make the good calls when I see 'em.
But basically, what you're calling me is an unfair person, and that is offensive.
To not be concerned a few weeks back in a world economic downturn is having your head in the sand.
The fact they've got a sponsor is good, but I expected nothing less.  That's not being charitable, but it's not a vendetta either.  5/10 I would say

Will it be a similar 4 year $98m deal?

 

[tigersalive]

Then if you expected "nothing less" why did you kick up a fuss that the sponsor wasnt announced two weeks ago?  To be concerned about the economic downturn is one thing but to think it meant since we hadnt got one we were in trouble of not finding a sponsor for next year lacked confidence in our off-field team that has performed so well for us.  

Anyway I cant see this getting anywhere further than round in circles so, so be it.

I thought our onfield team performed pretty good this year and March gave it a 5/10

i hope/wish

[Ramps]

Its good that its coming to a conclusion but it depends on how much we are getting. $800,000 to $1,000,000 per year  is a good result, $1,000,000 to $ 1,300,000 per year is a very good result, $1.3 million to $ 1.5 million a year in the current climate is an excellent result and anything above $1.5 million a year would be an outstanding result

I think we should settle for a 5 Year $50 million deal. It's only fair considering the economic downturn.

.... but on that topic I dont see what the USA arm of the corporation has to do with the operations of a separate Australian entity.  They're by all accounts still running a healthy business here in Australia.

Would think a lot would depend on where control of the overall entity is held

I just think it is a great thing for the RFC that is going to happen...

I reckon there is a fair case to say anything in this economic climate is a very good to outstanding result, especially a 3 year deal for a team that hasn't played much finals in the last 30 years and that didn't have as much FTA coverage as some other clubs.

If a our 2 majors combined means we are around $1.8 to $2.0 million mark then we are doing very well indeed.
