Titans
August 17, 2014
A CONSORTIUM of high-powered investors is repositioning itself to make a play for the Gold Coast’s NRL licence.
Representatives of the group, which is being advised by former Titans football manager Scott Sattler, previously met with an NRL official in 2012 on the day former NRL CEO David Gallop resigned.
At the time, the NRL was investigating options in case the Titans collapsed because of the financial difficulties they were experiencing.
The consortium, understood to have had $15 million in start-up capital when it initially approached the NRL, has representatives who are experienced in business, marketing and football operations.
In 2012 the Titans’ NRL licence was transferred from a Michael Searle-controlled entity to Darrkell Pty Ltd, a company owned by Gold Coast businessman Darryl Kelly.

A SECRET consortium of wealthy businessmen are formulating plans to invest in the Titans and lead the club’s revival following the departure of John Cartwright and Michael Searle.
The Courier-Mail can reveal a team of Queensland-based executives are keen to meet with the Titans board to discuss investment options to make the club an NRL powerhouse.
One option is to buy out Searle, who despite his resignation remains the Titans’ largest shareholder, having outlaid $4.56 million for a 40.6pc stake of the club he built
Money is not an impediment for the consortium, who collectively are worth several millions after accruing personal wealth in the finance and banking industries.
The businessmen wish to remain anonymous but are serious about their investment plan, first meeting with the NRL two years ago during the Titans’ $25m debt crisis.
A fresh bid was launched six weeks ago, with a consortium chief enlisting the help of former Queensland Origin lock Scott Sattler, who was the Titans’ foundation football manager.
The cluster of senior executives will look to meet with Titans hierarchy in the coming weeks to gauge the board’s interest in their involvement.
“They are interested in buying into an NRL club and they see a lot of potential in the Titans.
The financial heavy-hitters first attempted to buy the Titans in 2012. At the time, the Titans were drowning in debt and the consortium engaged Scott Hill, the former Melbourne and NSW pivot who has links with one of the executives.
spazza finally came through.
it will only be a few years until they get the shits in loosing money & sell the dud brand off
interesting they only want to by 40.6% stake of the club, obviously want to use it as a tax rite off
