gday Pride, I did hear URM is very well off, is that true, is Anthony the owner? Do you have any background.
Yes Anthony is the owner and also has a couple of brothers working in the business. URM from what I understand has grown massively over the last year financially here in Australia and also overseas recycling, largely glass recycling.

We wouldn't have a club to argue over if it wasn't for Max. People certainly have short memories!
If this other guy was such a rich and passionate Manly supporter, why didn't he bail us out when it was desperately needed in 2003/2004? Max was the ONLY one who showed his hand and come up with the much needed cash.
Seems he wanted to buy in once the club was saved. He could've still sponsored us. He had plenty of time over the years to throw his money into a jersey, sleeve, short sponsorship.
If it is the guy in the news article above.....then i'm glad Max told him where to go!
Its not the same mentioned mob in the old article. URM already put in a lot of coin for sponsorship around the ground at Brookie. Speaking to a friend who is close to Anthony at URM he has been wanting to invest further with the sea eagles brand for some time.
Didn't they start talks on a deal for full sponsorship, but the price was too low?
I was originally told the full sponsorship was a done deal but since have not been able to get a story as to why it did not come through. I heard the price was not agreed and also another issue around some media article released..honestly not too sure.
