LOL can somebody introduce me to their accountant?
Costs a lot of money to run a 'football entity'...everything has to be paid for....Players, cheergirls, posters, staff etc etc etc. Once you start paying all the bills, the $30m is soon gone, is my guess.
Other 'football entities' are going broke, even with leagues club grants [or no grants if their leagues clubs are not making money.]

We are lucky to balance the books and make a small, tidy profit.
About 13 other clubs wish they were in the same boat.

Exactly. My read is that the leagues club (and all related entities) exist to fund the football side. It is, quite simply, a mechanism for balancing the books.
We can do this because the club is not privately owned, I.e. no shareholders demanding dividends, thus avoiding any conflicts of interest. This is interesting in the context of that Australian article, as the implication is that dividends Politis makes from his Broncos shareholding could possibly be used by him as personal donations to Easts, meaning the Broncs might just be funding Easts. A long bow, I know. But plausible.Last edited by Salvatori Grubber; 03-22-2019, 01:04 PM.Making Steve Naughton look like Vince Mellars...

Not too sure about that - nearly all the Easts fans I know live outside the Sydney/Eastern Suburbs electorate - west, south-west, shire, central coast. The ones who actually attend games anyway. Economics and house prices has meant a shift away from the city/east for many who originally came from those areas and who still follow the Chooks.
I cannot understand why anyone would be against the Allianz rebuild. We are already behind most other States in the area of footy/multi-purpose stadiums and run the risk of falling further behind. I look on with envy when I see Optus Stadium and the various ones they have in Vic. All of which I believe have been built with govt funds.
Given the kiddies nowadays are climate change warriors, they wouldn't want aircon in their classrooms anyway, so we can slide that money back towards the stadium rebuild. And the demountables are fine - students and teachers won't want the dust and dirt of building them new schoolrooms - too much pollution in their vicinity that will harm them!!! Plenty of money saved here that can be put back into the Allianz rebuild ..
Us adults have ruined the environment for them. We should have done what they are doing now. Good on them for standing up to governments and people in denial about climate change.
Anyway, back to the topic...
Easts are safe. Too many heavy hitters involved for them to be shifted elsewhere.
So long as Easts are successful we will be fine. As Nick says "losing is bad for business".
Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.

it has always been there, just these days there is technology and resources to point it out more for everybody, it was no worse 50 yrs ago.
The world has has doubled its population from the 70s, more people, more cars, More resources. It’s evolution, climate change is a fancy word that somebody made up to sell books.
if anybody believes it is anymore than that, then you may as well be a fictional character in a Harry Potter book.
