    i have no idea, just one of many bewildering off field decisions that impacted greatly on field. as i said before its been a clusterf*** from day one.

    no he was foisted on them by RA

    its the lack of other income, no gate receipts for 2 years (it might have been 1&1/2), perhaps fewer sponsorship $, coupled with cost of playing away for those two years which are problem, it would seem the board were relying on either PE or RA coming good with the extra money to pay off the ATO...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    as much and all as it pains me to say it - it's over, done and dusted, could have and should have been great. its been an almighty fuck up since the inception, starting with the VRU's poor effort to get the licence in the first place, the hubris of the initial pitch c/w the Force was terrible...

    Rebels 2024 seems like Rebels 2011 - 2023 rinse and repeat, thats what pisses me off the most. The same issues season after season, go back and look at the previous years match/Rebels pages on these forii, exactly the same complaints from fans, save for the odd few games here and there...

    Adam, thats not necessarily the case. all and any loans to the Rebels will be counted as liablities and any funder of that loan a creditor, sure they probably do eventually want their money back, but that doesnt mean straight away as in knocking on the door with a demand notice. From the outside...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    so i agree the Board have mismanaged bigly, its hard to fathom why. I assume that the debt mounted during Covid, less from RA for salaries, no gate income, but perhaps costs of hiring locked in (dunno), extra expense with the team on the road. they may have assumed that a PE deal was in the...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    I don’t know the law specifically , but as far as I know in VA there are only two options 1 declaring bankruptcy, getting wound up and selling off the assets to pay the creditors or 2 attempting to trade out of the situation . The Rebels have $17 K and two second hand vehicles plus some office...

    in law he may have a point. if RA is paying the wages and and really are the "employer" they may well be liable. TN is a very canny bastard.
