I like the fact I can gang up on you all by myself.

Rex said:Nice rewrite of history bazeagle. Here in contrast is what I've seen:
The game WAS going great under Arko & Quayle. Tina Turner and all. The crowds were going through the roof, year after year, record after record. It dominated TV sport, watched by millions. Solid consistent expansion.
Then Ribot, Murdoch & Gallop happened. The game CONTRACTED under Gallop's reign. Crowds dropped, TV popularity dropped. It took a decade for the game to get back to the level it was prior to Gallop - not allowing for population growth. And even after that decade, the game in REAL terms had gone backwards by a huge margin. It was unable to keep pace with the huge population growth. That is Gallop's legacy. Real Contraction.
And all this happened at the time when Keating introduced pay TV - this should have been the biggest financial bonanza and lottery win and marketing plus the game had ever seen. Instead Gallop & his mates have sent the game to the brink of bankruptcy. He has sent the game to the point where we are now exposed to being taken over in our heartland and have made insignificant gains into AFL's heartland. Meanwhile he fiddles. And only one team in Brisbane? Ever wondered why?
We've got that Gallop has stroked your ego bazeagle. He's made you feel important. Good for you.
bazeagle said:Hey Rex.
You have no clue as to my interactions with Gallop.
Assumption is the mother of all f*#*ups bud.
I have zero interest in this topic anymore because all of what you lot bark on about is a load of all toss. You guys just don't like the boss just like children and no-one of you are big enough to admit it.
bazeagle said:Yep SER8.
Blame Gallop.
Run him out of town.
Flogging him as he goes.
Is that the same David Gallop who practically gave the last lot of rights away for about 60% of their true value to appease News Ltd because the got him this gig.bazeagle said:SMH Herald Headline today:
"NRL to reap $1.2 billion from TV rights deal".
Oh damn, I clean forgot the name of the current NRL CEO who is managing this negotiation. Silly old me.
Oh that's right.....it's: DAVID GALLOP.

The really good thing with this thread is it's nearly up to 100.
It astounds me that many here cannot simply see or apply the colossally simple logic that I have been writing in multiple threads.
Here it is again, gents:
The game is going great. It's watched my millions and the next round of TV rights will reap a major windfall in cold hard cash.
And I say the current CEO is the dude who has been at the helm to steer the ship towards this great level of success. And as I have said not everything he has done is right, he admits that as well. If you guys need a simple analogy look at the A League. It's been really poorly planned, manifestly appallingly managed at all levels and it's collapsing. And who is the CEO? Is it Lowy? I don't even know. That's how a badly managed sports organisation looks and where it ends up.
