Congratulations to the cronulla sharks for finally signing major sponsor, all be it for 10 weeks & possibly next season
it only took Carney to drink his own piss to get one


THE Cronulla Sharks have pulled off one of the most remarkable marketing coups in sport, signing a major sponsor amid the most dramatic week in the club’s history.
Just four days after sacking Todd Carney and interim head coach Peter Sharp resigning, national safety management company Labour Health has signed on to feature on the front of the Sharks jersey for the remaining 10 weeks of the season and possibly next year. Remarkably, it also comes as the shadow of the ASADA investigation looms large over the club.

Labour Health, which conducts drug and alcohol testing in the workplace throughout Australia, has paid a six-figure sum to promote its brand, starting with tomorrow night’s clash with the Sydney Roosters.
The company only began talking to the embattled club once Carney was dramatically shown the door.
Carney’s dismissal from the Sharks — and likely the NRL — as a result of a lewd photo surfacing on social media last Saturday evening, has polarised opinion.

Paul Kent chats to Fox Sports News about the candidates in line to replace resigned Cronulla coach Peter Sharp and Todd Carney's sacking from the club.
But according to Regan Brown, managing director of Labour Health, the decision was a watershed moment for a club forced to navigate from one crisis to the next.
“The need for our partnership became much more urgent after the weekend’s incident,’’ Brown told The Daily Telegraph. “Because they did let Carney go, that’s why we got involved. Because we realised that the Sharks are actually serious about making a stance. We’re market leaders in our space and when I saw Carney’s incident, I though this is just not on at all. We don’t condone that.
“So I rang the Sharks and said ‘listen I’d like to help you guys out’.

“I told them I wanted to work with them in working on an improved culture that has drug and alcohol screening as a major focus. We’ll work together in updating the club’s drug and alcohol policy and we’ll have our company rubberstamp that.
“For us its about improving health, education and ensuring safety.’’
Told that most people would be stunned to learn of the company’s decision to align itself with the Sharks given their tumultuous period, Brown said: “I couldn’t agree with you more. And that’s why we’re coming in to help. We know what we’re doing.’’

With a major sponsor the Sharks are looking at more than $5 million in total sponsorship revenue for the 2014 season.
Chief executive Steve Noyce said: “ I’m really proud of the guys here because they’ve been working so hard. When people put money up, like Labour Health have, and all our other wonderful sponsors have, it’s a vote of confidence in the club and our exciting future. It’s been a roller coaster week but this news gives great buoyancy to everyone here.’ ’

smallest AFL club still manages to raise 30 million plus.
your little raiders & sharks only can manage 12million and 13 million
the gummy sharks needed a 3.5 million from a pizza shop owner, just to keep the bank away from closing the doors on the club, unable to make any repayments on debts of 14 million

THE identity of the mystery man who has invested $3.5 million cash to save the Cronulla Sharks can finally be revealed … he’s a pizza shop owner.
The secret benefactor is retired 60-year-old Shire businessman and owner of Al’s Pizzas, Paul Ellems, a long time supporter of the club.
His recent cash injection secured Cronulla’s NRL future by allowing the board to clear all remaining debts with the St George Bank.

Suspended Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is looking for a contract extension at the club despite facing a season on the sidelines and the possibility of further sanctions.
Ellems started a construction business, Faux Brick, more than a decade ago and made his money from selling it five years later.
He purchased Al’s Pizza Pasta & Ribs in Cronulla not long afterwards.
“My kids were working at McDonald’s getting not much more than $5 an hour so I opened a pizza place and the kids work there,” he said.
“Their friends and relatives work there too – and on better pay than McDonald’s.”
Three years ago Cronulla’s debt to St George Bank had blown out to more than $14 million, the interest repayments almost crippling the club.

With a total of 5.3 mil from sponsorship and memberships combined, and an operating budget of 13 million, yeah, they're rolling in cash

How dumb can you AFL fans be?

The club owns it's home ground, it's asset rich compared to most clubs in any sport in the entire nation.

I love how you deros continue to lie and spin ya bs, I know you know Cronulla are safe, but you do look like absolute morons with your continual bullshit claims that have no basis in fact what so ever.

Safe from what - if they become a financial detriment the NRL has a LONG track record of getting rid of clubs:
Newtown
North Sydney
Perth Reds
SQLD Crushers
GC Chargers
Adelaide RAMS (and don't give us that BS it was because of SL - if they were financial and didn't have piss poor crowds they would have got a go in the NRL)
Sth Sydney
Hunter Mariners

If their legal bills, crowds and other financial issues continue to go south they are in trouble!!!

See, that's the type of dumb ******** shit I mentioned, you're in denial moron.

Do you even have a fucking clue about those teams you dickhead, I mean, you are supposedly an Australian living here, yet you post shit that tells me you have no fucking idea about anything outside your little AFL bubble, and half the time you either lie about that or get it wrong anyway.

Just give up moron, cronulla have more money than most sports clubs in the country seeing as they are selling apartments by the fucking truckload.

did you not read the article, no cash flow, struggled to make repayment on debt, but thanks to a pizza shop owner saving them, to stop the bank closing the doors on the club
all on this needed to run a football club with a revenue of 14 million
7.2 million that come from the NRL
like nearly all NRL clubs a pathetic joke, nothing but pokes as back up, and wealthy fans

huh?

They get money every year from the sale, maybe do some research before going off half-cocked as usual.

They also have plenty of the land they own left for further on down the track.

The Swamp is eventually going to make them millions.

It's the only thing they have going for them and tbph, I thought they should have been shut down when they joined super greed.
