Brumbies 2017

[Scrubber2050]

Any ideas why the Brumbies/ACTRU don't publish their annual report and financial statements?

Why would they ?

 

[Strewthcobber]

Why would they ?

I'm sure all (tax-fee) sporting organisations would rather not, but they seem to get away with it somehow?

Do you mean the figures that the ARU got independently forensically audited that are subject to the AFP investigation, that are suppressed due to a court order, were key in the Jones dispute and associated court dramas, have been scutinised in part for a Government audit in to land deals and the opposition wanting to set up a ICAC in the ACT to investigate them?

Held up at the printers I believe.

Fun fact. Did you know the land the Brumbies sold for $11.4Mil now has a development on it valued at more than $110Mil?

Sounds like a shrewd property deal for someone

Was really refering to the ~19 years before that one but I take your point

I actually don't know and it's a question I would love to get answered. Fellow GAGRs have asked and it's still unanswered. So far no one can find them.

It really needs a curious and motivated GAGR to do a FOI request.

Especially considering the land was subject to a special tax deal as part of it and went for under market value by all reports.

Mind boggles at the "what if" should the Brumbies were involved in the development and goes explain the ongoing bitter taste for a lot of people.

Bernie confirmed gone at the end of 2017. Bitter sweet.

It does provide the unique opportunity for the Brumbies to bring someone in early (possibly even before the June break) with Bernie having Wallabies commitments. They could seek to do a deal with the ARU over a wages split that works for both parties.

Good news........

Brumbies need some new direction, and this should give them plenty of time to get the best possible candidate...........

But I will be fucking livid if they just give the gig to McKellar.

 

[Brumby Jack]

I reckon I know who will be waiting in the wings to take over...

 

[MarkJ]

Laurie Fisher's contract in the UK would probably be finishing up around that time wouldn't it?

Someone who hasn't already been a head coach here

?

Reckon Lancaster would be on the phone.

So a former assistant perhaps? Matt O'Connor?

Doubtful, just signed on as assistant to the new Scottish national coach - who he has a long time working relationship with.

I'd say they plan in World Cup cycles, so he'll intend to be there until 2019.

 

[MarkJ]

Isn't that Matt Taylor, not Matt O'Connor?

Matt Taylor has signed on a permanent basis, rather than consultancy, continuing their 4+ year partnership at Glasgow, not O'Connor.

Which is good for me, not for you (as a Scot to Australians)

I think there is a bloke named Richard who may be able to be enticed by a bucket full of money to take over the troubled Brums.
