Will we pinch Essendons sponsor?

[supersaints]

We used to be sponsored by Dons before Essendon
When we move to Frankston will we pinch Dons back as our sponsor (we can be called the Frankfurt's... or am I just being a silly sausage?)

Capital key for Kangas
22 November 2007 Herald Sun

JAMES Brayshaw has unveiled the plan he believes will keep the Kangaroos in Melbourne, pledging a non-football revenue-raising venture that will secure the club's financial health inside 10 years.



Brayshaw's proposal, believed to have the support of inaugural AFL Commission member Peter Scanlon, was discussed at a Roos board meeting yesterday where its merits were compared against the AFL's lucrative plans to have the club based on the Gold Coast by 2010.

A vote on the debate by the club's eight directors is expected within 10 days.

The messy fight over where the Roos will be based intensified last night when pro-Gold Coast lobbyist Mark Dawson chaired a meeting of personally invited North Melbourne identities to outline his southeast Queensland vision for the club.

Dawson, a former director, recently failed in a push to succeed the recently retired Graham Duff as chairman of the Roos, where he would have formally worked with the AFL toward relocating the club.

He was part of a secret meeting Roos shareholders had with AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou in April where a Gold Coast relocation was thrashed out.

Several North Melbourne greats, including John Dugdale, Wayne Schimmelbusch, David Dench and Keith Greig, were invited by Dawson to last night's meeting.

Brayshaw said the Roos needed to know within three weeks where their future lay.

"We need to have a vote and have it very soon, because the club is being crippled at the moment," said Brayshaw, whose plan to stay based at Arden St revolves around:

HIS securing of $8 million, sourced from at least three people, which will be invested on behalf of the club next year, be banked for 10 years, and reap up to $1 million income a year for that period.

THE promise of a major company, believed to be Vodafone, to commit at least $800,000 a year as a major sponsor, provided the club stays in Melbourne.

THE guarantee of at least $800,000 a year in fresh sponsorship revenue at the middle-tier level.

A NAMING rights sponsor for Arden St.

THE promise to headhunt an established management team.

FORMING a board comprising himself as chairman, with other directors to be chosen from Ricky Ponting, Glenn Archer, Denis Pagan, Ron Joseph, Will Houghton QC, ASG group chief executive Geoff Lewis and KPMG tax risk specialist Carl Dilena (a former Carlton, Fitzroy and North player).

PUMP an additional $650,000 into the football department for 2008, and an extra $1 million in 2009.

BUDGET to make up to $4 million profit in the next two years combined, and have "bankable capital in excess of $10 million by 2018".

"The AFL has done its very best over the last four months to paint the Kangaroos' situation out to be hopeless, but we are proving with this plan it can be done," Brayshaw said.

"We are putting together a business plan that will work, and will not only work for us in the next few years but will see us healthy by 2018, where we will have bankable capital in excess of $10 million.

"This is sustainable."

Deal has hit a snag - banger has the rights to all sausage-related humour. Can't reveal my sauce.

Always trust someone to ham it up.

Can't we just lunchmeat in the middle somewhere?

Sorry, all the good puns were bacon.

You guys are all pigs.

C'est La Mi.



Hmmm.

Typical. Always wanting a slice of the action.
