Hughesy Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 It's been tossed, he has now begun his latest document - 'Project Cookies and Cream' to find that ice cream shop he's looking for waggafletcher 1
mack Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 For the price of buying the Wanderers Penrith could start their own team, and they've got a simple template to follow with community engagement.
Guest ZipGunBop Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 A few years ago the Panthers started abandoning the junior clubs they supported for years to keep the share holders happy. They would do the same to us in a heart beat. SBW, stavup, Balkanite and 2 others 5
Burgerman Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Last i heard the Panthers had huge debts and borrowed money from Packer to keep them afloat last year.How were they going to pay for our club in the first place,good FFA said no would have been a massive failure for football,they would have probably renamed the club Penrith Wanderers and play with pink jerseys westofcentre, Neverbloom, SBW and 4 others 7
waggafletcher Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Warren Wilson comes across like any other self-obsessed GM of a registered club: Totally out of touch and ignorant to the fact that any money he spends isn't his own money; it's money that belongs to club members. (I know all about club GMs, having worked for several of the putrid douchebags over the years) And... great move FFA! Phil Gould can phuck off! Benched and Neverbloom 2
hawks2767 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Also - inb4 GWS makes a $150m bid for the Wanderers They'd fold the club within 24 hours, if this was a normal sale and there were no men standing in the way like David Gallop then they would be first in line. So yeah this could have ended really badly for us. Edited August 21, 2013 by hawks2767
Guest ZipGunBop Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 The Oak Wanderers.Wanderbet Stadium The Oak Wanderers SOCCER team playing at Wanderbet stadium. *reaches for pistol. wendybr, 102megan, Neverbloom and 1 other 4
Davo Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Imagine their planning for stadium catering. "These wogs like foreign food, lets add curry pies to the menu, that'll keep em happy." Neverbloom, dmixtaaa, Balkanite and 5 others 8
Johnno Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 on a side note, we will need to be careful at the Penrith trial game, now that we have rebutted their courting, im sure they'll be out to make us look bad. stavup 1
westofcentre Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Even the bar of the stadium "Centrbet Stadium" shows what is wrong with NRL. As for comments GWS buying the Wanderers lol. I would rather burn he club to the ground then see them buy the club out. Adopt a scorched earth policy like the Russians in WW2 then see something you love go over to the skoda fails. Lederer or Perich maybe? Edited August 21, 2013 by westofcentre
alexd Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Really I can think of only one name as an owner of the Wanderers - the Bosnjak family. I definitely remember reading articles about them having over $100 million to their name/s but still being staunchly proud Western Sydney Residents. In fact a quick name google shows they are involved in business development in Western Sydney still. They are proud Westies indeed, but my feeling is that they have always felt closer to Sydney United than anyone else. Let the games begin. :ninja: Don't be so sure. I know them personally and they're mad wsw supporters. Kids played for Freeman SC not SydJnrs or SU58. Edited August 21, 2013 by alexd
Jowel Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I'm a Panthers fan. Glad this offer was rejected. Although Phil Gould is somewhat of a legend at the Panthers (having coached the team to its first premiership in 1991), I don't trust him. I have a feeling he will go back to Easts one day and live out his days there. Although the FFA's rejection of this bid is a good decision, it's also somewhat troubling that the bid's confidentiality has been breached a bit here. I know that the FFA here is trying to communicate their bid assessment strategy to the fans, but is what they've done here correct? The FFA has come out and embarrased a bidder deliberately. How does that look to other bidders also interested in buying the club? Will other bidders also have their bid details deliberately leaked? It isn't a good look. This has been done before when the club wanted to justify why they didn't sign up Ballack. Looking forward to the trial game at Penrith theguyyouwishyouwere and Malone 2
Balkanite Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Wow ... im glad we have a man who gives a damn (David Gallop) in charge! waggafletcher and theguyyouwishyouwere 2

Looking forward to the trial game at Penrith I think its a bit of this code war propaganda, I'm happy that we made it public and embarrassed them. Also their bogan fans would be disgusted that they are affiliating themselves to the sokkah.... Imagine if it was the other way around - they would made a joke of it and laughed in our face and had it plastered all over the news.... dmixtaaa 1

zola Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Wow ... im glad we have a man who gives a damn (David Gallop) in charge! Been very impressed with Gallop thus far. alexd 1
Jukes01 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 From the very beginning this offer has smelt suspicious to me. The fact is the Wanderers do not need the Panfers, in fact it would be the other way it seems. This is all about building a stadium for the Penrith region and bringing in the people to play their poker machines. Dont believe for one moment that the Panfers are trying to do the FFA and football a favour. From what I have been reading the Wanderers and the Eels are actually putting $850m development of the Panfers entertainment complex at some risk. This is because the Panfers would also like to build a new stadium out in Penrith. Then after the game they would love for all the fans to go into their "entertainment area" and do their dough on the one arm bandits. It would be open slather 365 days a year. Any development of stadiums is going to be directed to the Eels and Wanderers before any money touches the Panfers. Thanks but no thanks. wendybr and Balkanite 2

There is a clear conflict of interest here, and any person/group with a lot of money can see that. Infact it is a good sign that the FFA has rejected this outright to show that this club has big ambitions and we only want serious bidders who are doing it in the interests of the club long term. It also shows that we want to be bigger than any RL club in this region (and won't play second fiddle to one) which is a good sign. Balkanite, dmixtaaa, Carns and 1 other 4

This needs to happen..we need at least 13000 and no bullshit behaviour...I bet they try to piss us off in some way though, just to promote something..I hope we are treated equally at centrebet..I have been to that stadium to watch the Panthers 4 times this year so I will notice differences.. wendybr 1
macriboy Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 FUK off NRL you will never get a foot in on the football scene and never own a club associated with football, stick to you own code thats on its way down ENJOY THE RIDE stavup and wendybr 2

WSW is bigger then this. We are not inferiors. You dont own us, we will own u!
Jowel Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 All well and good but what is Gallop gonna be saying about any other bids that come in? There will be other dodgy bids. Will Gallop rip into each one as they come in? It just doesn't look professional.

Will Gallop rip into each one as they come in? It just doesn't look professional. I know what you are saying brother. It's about perception. But I see it the other way - It's Gallop saying the WSW is not a two bit team that will whore itself out to anyone especially someone who has no idea about football culture and fan culture, and is willing to rip us away from Parra just for their own personal interests.

Pup55 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 u r thinking too much about this Joel. it's more who the bidder was in the case, rather than what the bidder offered which has seen Gallop go on the front foot. and i 100% agree with him ! Sime11, Carns and Balkanite 3
