Manly for sale mega rumours: Norths/Qatar/kapersky/etc

[Kevinward777]

Apparently there is a consortium of rich Qatari guys wanting to buy the club. Prepared to pay 15 million, cover any fine to the NRL and already have a major sponsor in Qatari Airlines ready to go.

Get that up you Hooper!

Makes a mockery of the opinion of both Hooper and a few Penn fanboys on here, that no-one other than Penn would ever buy the club.

Yep, that makes two syndicates waiting in the wings. Much better than what the NRL put together for the Coke Coast.

Let’s hope so... Look at what happens when middle eastern riches are invested into the Premier League.

 

[tookey]

We can finally see some of our petrol dollars spent in a good cause

 

[SeaEagle21]

Makes sense that they would be after our club, maroon and white is their flag colours.

 

[qldeagle]

It's a yes from me.

Careful what you wish for, just because they've got Monterey that doesn't mean it'si be good for the club, plus there's no salary cap in soccer so they can just buy whoever they want, not possible in the nrl (with the exception of the rorters and donkeys of course)

Look that would be some major sponsor and obviously in terms of funding, they in all likelihood would have a greater level of disposable income then the Penns.

The only thing with any buyer I want to see is that they are in for absolute long term.

This up there with when the Crazy mobile guy wanted to buy us.

Speculation on buying the club it is a pretty cheap publicity ploy to get your name around.

Let’s hope there are some more details before getting too carried away (also these guys do not always have the cash...take a look at some of the Football clubs which have been burnt)

Yep. Everything in the press on here is dismissed as lies and speculation yet this is taken as gospel truth.

Sounds like absolute rubbish.

Mystery Qatari businessmen, Qatari Airways, a bloke called Ibrahim and they are all interested in a strife ridden,struggling team playing out of a delapidsted stadium that won’t be fixed.

One thing history has told us about Rugby League is that there has always been plenty of dodgy unfinanced fly by night punters out there who want to get a football team as a toy.. Sometimes they do.Ask the Knights.Ask the Titans.That turned out well.

As a previous poster said. Careful what you wish for.

Well wherever the story’s coming from it ain’t the NRL. Because they want us to be portrayed as a backward swamp hillbilly organisation that’s on its deathbed, working out of demounables without a friend in the world.

Oh no we would be the Halal SeaEagles

We would have to chant Cliffy Akbar on the hill
