POLITIS POINTS TO NRL FUTURE RICH IN ASSETS

THE NRL has turned to one of its harshest critics to build a financial investment strategy to secure the long-term future of rugby league.

Independent Commission chairman Peter Beattie and CEO Todd Greenberg met with the Roosters’ billionaire supremo Nick Politis on Thursday for discussions on revenue-raising.

“Nick’s been quite persistent about the game having a long-term investment strategy,” Beattie said. “He’s been incredibly successful and we’re going to use every idea he’s got. I totally agree with him that this should have been done years ago. We’re going to be in a much better position as a game if we can make a fraction of the money Nick’s made over the years.”

Independent commissioner Gary Weiss has been put in charge of looking at investment and potential asset strategies as the game approaches an era when media companies can no longer be guaranteed to come up with multibillion-dollar offers for broadcasting rights.

Another commissioner, Peter V’landys, who has built NSW racing into a position of financial strength over the past decade, will also be involved in the purchasing of assets.

It is all aimed at fighting off the threats in grassroots football from soccer and a cashed-up AFL, which made a $60 million profit last year.

“We have to put some money into some revenue-bearing asset,” Beattie said. “We don’t have a lot of money, we don’t even own our building, but we can take a long-term approach to this. Nick had some very good ideas on how we can build over time.”

Ahhh fuck Grogbog and Peter Beattie thinks this is a great idea. Next stop - destination FUCKED.

Let me guess... investing in shares in Ch9 and certain car dealerships in exchange for overlooking certain *deals* at the Roosters.

Soccer and AFL continue to excel because they aren't run by useless ***** who don't have a clue. They are run by business professionals who know their shit, rather than pretenders who couldn't find their dick in the dark.

This is what I read in the article above:

Nick’s been quite persistent about the game having a long-term investment strategy effectively abolishing the Roosters salary sombrero and making it unbeatable in the player market in return for his financial tips and insiders information . Beattie said. “He’s been incredibly successful at cheating, lying and using other peoples money that we have decided to make the Roosters the jewel in the crown of the NRL moving forward by abolishing the roosters cap altogether and giving them first shot at any and all marquee players that hit the market. In turn we’re going to use every idea he’s got. I totally agree with him we need a stronger more viable Roosters side and that this should have been done years ago. We’re going to be in a much better position as a game if the Roosters can buy their Premierships and if we can make a fraction of the money Nick’s made over the years.”

It is all aimed at fighting off the threats in grassroots football from soccer and a cashed-up AFL, which made a $60 million profit last year and left the NRL green with envy ( jealous) and with humble pie on it's face. Wasn't it Tina Turner that sang that we were Simply the Best.

“We have to put some money into some revenue-bearing assets and accept that Nick Politis and his Roosters own our arses," Beattie said. “We don’t have a lot of money for champagne breakfasts and three hour caviar lunches. We as a sporting organization are so inept and backward that don’t even own our building but we can take a long-term approach to this by taking out a mortgage.

Nick truly has made made the NRL his bitch and Greenturd his errand boy. F@ck I hate the Roosters.

Yep...its quite nauseating isn't it? And his media attack Dogs Kent and Rothfield jump on anyone that dares criticise him.......Graham Hughes started to bring up them (The Roosters) skirting the cap last night on Fox and Buzz warned him about defamation laws. Seriously....they don't even try to hide the fact they are Nicks pocket.

Must be some form of conflict of interest here for sure.

WOW!

WOW!

You mean like the conflict of interest with the referee's boss and his two brothers ruining our game but no body bats an eye.

 

[Vlasnik]

I miss super league!!!

I bat so hard I can go airborne on that scenario, I can tell you. So much so, I have a video of the Sutton bros sitting in the stands at ANZ stadium wishing me all the best on my move to TAS, thanks to my boss letting them know I was their "biggest fan".

The solution....nothing new....and tastefully done.....

The solution....nothing new....and tastefully done.....

The solution....Nick Politis buys the NRL, pencils the Roosters in for the next 20 Premierships and scraps their salary sombrero all together.

 

[Trafford10]

Seriously these incompetant fucks running the NRL.
They're killing our game..
Letting the refs be a law unto themselves.
Letting the wrestle and your ability to slow play the ball down as much as possible without giving away penalties become the biggest factor in winning a game has also become a strangle hold on the game.
But yes by all means Beatie and Greenberg please crawl further up Politis arse.

 

[CBDoggies]

The beginning of the end of nrl... I hope to god a superleague or some sort of organisation comes in and takes over. Nrl are a joke run by jokers. They have no idea what the hell they are doing and the game is getting worse. Now they are asking a club ceo to help them run the financial side of the organisation. If I was every other team I the comp I would be keeping a very close eye on all this bullshit.

Nick Politis, or shall we call him Nick the Dick has already purchased a pallet load of KY Gelly and a ship load of viagra for a smoother entry into the NRL's inner sanctum. Todd ( Home sick) Greenturd and Peter (Gang Bang) Beatme were heard to say "Now we are truely f@cked as they bent over and lowered their daks.

 

[GTOWN]

No need for a salary cap now anyway... uncle nick stands down from the roosters.. nek minute... he becomes an independent third party sponsor... all approved by the incompetent admins in the nrl

 

[Alan79]

Thats a pretty frank admission that the administration of the NRL is amateur hour. They've pointed out that the whole organization is currently a house of cards reliant on TV sponsorship to stay afloat. They've basically pointed out that they're currently less financially viable than any club with a strong supportive leagues club.

I have no issue with them seeking advice on how to invest what money they have. But an article like this would have rival codes laughing and eying off further ways to encroach into vulnerable territories.

With news that the NRL is a few poor sponsorship deals away from folding as things stand, it's little wonder that the NRL has been experimenting with revenue streams like "fine coaches for speaking ill of shithouse refereeing" or "fine the Bulldogs for any little thing".

 

[doggieaaron]

Its not rocket science ffs with all their $$ buy some assets such as commercial property to get a return apparantely the fox sports /nrl head office area was bought buy gerry harvey/singo after the nrl didnt buy it now they rent back to the nrl dumb fucks from the previous administration

 

[rainman]

Yes they were both wined and dined on Thursday nights roosters game in Nicks chairman’s club

 

[Mr Invisible]

Weren't Politis and Peponis big backers of Super League in it's day? Maybe the NRL is kissing up Nicks arse to avoid a mutiny and competing comp starting up.

 

[Bad Billy]

Right, lets be indebted to Politis, the shifty ****. Then we can pay him back by letting his team win the comp, every year.
