And so they should.

These guys also were doing security for events like the Grand Prix for the government and a contact there told me that the government did the full due diligence checks and nothing showed up. They were completely in the dark about this. If they didn’t find anything, I doubt we would have.

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

Yes but one sponsor makes up for all the bad ones…

LEGO!!!!

Best. Sponsor. Ever.

What with baby membership, promotional stuff and Lego-sponsored events, I’ve amassed quite the collection of sets.

If my house was ever raided the cops would arrest me on suspicion of being part of those gangs stealing heaps of Lego sets. 😅

RIF it has been pointed out by mauriesy in an above post that there are numerous major organisations sponsored by this Group, including several other AFL sides so why go after Paul Guera, no one knows there is an issue until it is uncovered. I feel more sorry for the 1700 employees that are laid off just before Xmas.

Yep and all of them looked at the dollars and just as quickly looked away from any due diligence. You, I and #mauriesy clearly have different ways of judging highly paid CEO’s who’s job it is to work in the best interests of the club.

Would that be the same Government that allowed the CFMEU to use the States coffers to feed themselves and their mates….thats not due diligence it’s called looking the other way and hoping no one else finds out. They were linked to outlaw bikie groups, probably a pretty clear warning.

I don’t know how many times I can explain this on here but it’s not Zurich’s fault with Gus.

If anything it is unfair dismissal.

The AFL stopped his career during a preseason he was completing. Zurich are only compelled to pay for certain measurable things like loss of limb or eyes. It’s not a Personal Accident claim.

Gus should sue Maynard personally and then Zurich would likely pay under their professional Indemnity policy

I have a bit of knowledge in this space

Good get from Guerra and in true corporate fashion not a peep from him when we axed them and how it came about that we allowed them to sponsor us. I certainly don’t want to start bagging our new CEO but things like this really [censored] me off with corporates. Lots of great talk but nada when things go wrong.

He mentioned it at the AGM. What else should he say?

We, like a few other AFL clubs and a stack of big companies, plus the government, got sucked in.

No need to dwell on that failure.
