Apologies mate, I don’t get the reference or correlation with my post.

Well in light of today’s news I hope we drop them immediately

Guerra needs to explain how we allowed these clowns on our sponsorship roster. He likely then needs to remove them. Not a great look. It still remains to be seen to be seen if all the talk can translate. I really hope it can because his role is so important to how we progress from here.

At least the scandals are happening well before the season so we don't have to cover their logo for Round 1 with black sticky tape Energy Watch style.

When you have Nick McKenzie on your case things aren't looking good:

At the very least I expect an acknowledgment from the board regarding these allegations at next week's AGM, and frankly they should be dropped immediately.

I'd also be interested to know what, if any, due diligence process is undertaken by the club before a sponsor is onboarded - or do we just take the money no questions asked?

There should be some fantastic activations at the MA Services sponsor tent on Saturday, given their (alleged) creative approach to human resources, payroll and taxation compliance.

I hope we are not looking at Cameron Schwab V2 with our new CEO here. I mean it’s not like security firms aren’t by nature a little dodgy (often involve males and high levels of testosterone, bikies, retired boxers etc) so you would be demanding a high level of “due diligence”.

I have already convinced myself that Guerra was the driving force behind the move to dump Tracc and Oliver on the market at the same time. The Tracc move made sense but not Oliver, not at the same time, ensuring we got zilch return for Oliver, as well as seriously weakening the midfield. Officially it was about the new coach and his game plan not suiting Oliver but I don’t buy it that it was King’s call. I see a new CEO coming in, determined to make a statement early.

And now we have new jumper sponsor issues evolving with each edition of the Age/SMH. I suspect Brian Cook might have his work cut out with this guy.

They must be dropped with haste.

I’m a little concerned that they haven’t already.

Throw in Zurich and the drama they are currently causing Gus. Not overly rapt with our current sponsors 🙄🙄
