To be paid back in 2 years.:rolleyes:

Plus 500,000 a year to maintain optus.

Can we buy the thirty sixers and be backed by the afl if it goes balls up?

Thats just for training :confused:
 
Interstate teams paying for Carlton to survive. Hilarious......not.
 
what i don't get is they penalise our club for millions, and then when we ask for assistance they give it back, if i was a supporter of other clubs i would be irate because somehow it costs you money too.

and also it encourages other teams to do the same thing ( and i'm sure it's happening, we were just too stupid to get caught ) because the afl will always bail you out.

Why should it be any different???

Thats the only reason the VFL expanded was to keep VFL clubs alive.

West coast had to pay 4 million in a month as the VFL clubs desperatly needed the money.:rolleyes:

Thats my gripe you got caught doing what every one else does fined because of those fines had money woes then get a hand out from the mob that fined you
total:confused:

it's a loan, what's your beef?

Part of the reason they are in the poo is they broke the rules got fined and so on and now they are getting hand outs by the mob that partly put them there in the first place.

Also Carlton was one of the teams so critical of the leauge helping out Sydney,Brisbane,Bulldogs now they are getting hand outs themselves.

what part of "it's a loan" do you not understand?

and?
 
Sydney & Brisbane are getting yearly handouts and have been for years and are still getting financial help by the AFL so what is the difference ?

It's called a loan only to stem the criticism. Come 2008 the loan isn't going to be paid back. Carlton will say they can't make the repayment and the AFL will roll over.

Effectively, Carlton has got the AFL to subsidise their football operations which are close to being the highest in the competition - and include the highest paid player and a coach who would be close to being the highest paid.

Other clubs that have faced funding shortfalls have been forced to cut their football overheads, sell games interstate, and in the case of Hawthorn virtually forced into a merger over a $700K debt (incurred largely due to a stand built at Princess Park) with an even more debt ridden Melbourne.

Carlton simply goes to the AFL and puts their hand-out and it isn't all they asked for either; coincident, with asking for a financial payout they requested another first round priority pick. This is the same club that was most adamant in its opposition to the Crows claiming Gibbs as a father/son selection.

I've stated elsewhere my deepset belief it will never be paid back - but that's speculation.

for the moment it's a loan.
 
How many companies out there who become insolvent as a result of there own mis-management and risks get looked after like Carlton??????

Also consider that the market Carlton is in is a flooded one.:rolleyes:
