reports of the clubs financial situation abound

dave taylor is said to want out of his deal to go there and cronk is having second thoughts

what do people think should happen here ?

either nrl finds a way for the titans club to contunue by taking over its debts or getting new investors.

alternatively they could let the franchise go under and start afresh. this would include allowing the new club to get a better deal on the stadium rental

the current stadium rental is a massive burden on the club and the queensland government will look stupid with no clubs playing there

the proposal for the png govt to take a share is a waste of money imo

the club in its current format is a liability for the game and the ARLC needs to resolve it either by new ownership of the titans or a new club altogether free of the burden of the property development debts

Searle is still suggesting a return to profitability for this year and next, tho I suspect he's referring to the football operations which, considering attendance trend and players the club are supposed to be chasing for 2013 does seem a tad optimistic.




maybe the ARLC or QLDRL could buy the centre of excellence lol. Srly, maybe aid the disposal of the property arm in exchange for seats on the board and a say in the management of the club?

How much are the afl spending in support of the suns? Is the Gold Coast important enough to get some extra support now in order to guarantee pro rugby on the GC..
You'd have to ask Gutts about the dangers that another rebranding of the club would bring.

Iv read lots of comments about Skilled Park...some seem to think the tits have been touched up [size=50s[/size by the deal to play there...Maybe its time ppl started talking about relocating the club, see it if focususss(sp) the minds of the stadiums owners to re assess the deal.
Not much point in having a shiney Stadium if theres no one to play in it and I hear central QLD would really like an NRL club...

I see that John Singleton was very critical about the Titans even getting into the NRL in an article the other day. He offered to bankroll the CC Bears bid in 07 to the tune of $50m. Makes an interesting read. Though if they couldn't get in then with all that backing, players on line etc. etc. Makes one think if there's a chance at all for the Central Coast which is sounding less and less likely as I hear more things to the negative in the game over here. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... z1q6GcMfsU

NRL needs to back them, get a proper governance structure in place, new board and sort out the mess Searle has created with his over speculation.

I see a consortium may take over the license and rebrand them.
