Talking Footy

MANLY chairman Scott Penn has revealed his family has tipped in more than $10 million to the Sea Eagles but warned club owners will desert the NRL unless they can be certain on funding from head office.

Penn’s family became major shareholders at Brookvale in 2006 and they have spent a million dollars per year ensuring the club is a force.

Their massive outlay shows why club chairmen are desperately fighting for the NRL funding package secured last December — a deal which the NRL has now reneged on.
Penn and his father, Rick, have been saviours for the club — businessmen whose passion has enabled the Sea Eagles to survive and thrive.

“We have gone past the $10m mark,” Penn told The Daily Telegraph. “That is the money we have put in. From a Penn family perspective, we love the Sea Eagles, we love the northern beaches, we love the fans and we love being involved in community. We love seeing the involvement and we love seeing how happy everyone is when we win.”

Undeterred by the big dollars he has already invested, Penn and other stakeholders want to outlay further cash to ensure Manly remain one of the NRL’s glamour clubs.

“We need to ensure clubs are sustainable, viable moving into the future,” Penn said.
“From a Sea Eagles perspective, we have opportunities with a centre of excellence, with a Brookvale Oval upgrade, projects we are going to need to invest more and more money into.

“We need certainty of funding in order to do that. We had that. We made decisions in the past 12 months, in order to grow the business, based on this new money coming forward. That money is now in jeopardy. I think it is fantastic the clubs are so united off the field. There is always a fierce rivalry on the field.”

The Manly boss has felt every emotion during his reign in charge — the highs, the lows, the good, the bad. And, of course, winning two premierships.

Oh my .
So club bosses want more money .
Lol
How surprising .

In what alternate universe has this never happened in AFL

The news I hear today was that they are staring clubs will fold unless there is certainty of funding and in particular the 30 percent above cap. Agree that clubs always want more but there seems to be a lot of concerned clubs in regard to this deal not going ahead.

spazza,
you mock the GCS and GWS for needing extra money they defend the NRLOL clubs receiving extra money, from their leagues clubs and their owners!
FFS a NRLOL club needs to raise an extra 10 million on top of the 10 million the commission gives them through distribution money & they still cannot raise that money

You just don't get it .
Wookie tried to explain it .
Lol wasting his time .

Clubs in AFL & RL are set up differently .
How fucking hard is that to understand

Leagues clubs exist for the purpose of supporting the local and national rugby league clubs, you idiot. Its almost the entire reason they were created the way they are. Hell some of them are so integrated they report the club revenue in the leagues club reports. And then theres the leagues clubs that are non existent....

yes there are some ponts to be made about some revenues when compared to AFL clubs - membership and gate revenues are likely to be smaller due to smaller attendances and less history, than an AFL club, but the league club issue is not one of those things in question.

The irony is you calling people out for stupidity when you carry on like a fuckwit about stuff you clearly know nothing about. Did you ever find the Melbourne Storm leagues club you invented?

John Grant needs to go.

Lol, as to the annual reports point out the football related revenue to the poke returns!

Now let's talk leagues club they are to support the community right?
Tax and rate payers still pay for the council owned ovals right?
Parents and personal that play league still pay a match day feee along with insurance right?

So what does a league club do?
I keep pointing out revenue earned?
Football related revenue?


Go read some annual reports then get back to me!
