For the record, whilst Graham Lowe is talking about being a beggar for an established, historic business like Manly (really making our brand look hot !!), Greater Western Sydney AFL are trying to accomodate TWO brand new CORPORATE major sponsors in both Sanyo and Integral.
Chalk and cheese people. Chalk and cheese. Some say it is too hard, and call their brand as being associated with beggars, others go out and get it, professionally, and easily, as we have had for the past 4-5 years (up until around 12 months ago).
I warned a lot of you on here that Quantum were unhappy with the "relationship" our current management were providing. Now, we are stuck, "begging", and they are his words.
No signings. With Graham Lowe and his old hand tactics, I expected us to lose the barter for many players - now Lowe has lead us into an era where they are un-affordable.
Like it or not, we are broke, unable to acquire new players and / or sponsors, heading backward in memberships, heading backward in crowd numbers.
BUT, this is what Max, Vidmar and his board wanted, so they now have to live with it. No-one can say they weren't warned, so this lack of players and / or sponsors cannot be a surprise.
Yes, I am ropeable. People are suggesting, "at least we have a club", and "at least we have good players". Not for long people. Lowe is driving us into the ground (and I challenge Vidmar to show me the numbers / actions as to why this ISN'T the case - but I won't hold my breath).
