CA claims cuts will reduce A$142 million revenue hole

The board's modelling indicates a deficit of half that figure by June 2021

The states and the players have both been very suspicious of CA's claims, but if they turn out to be true, where is all that money going?

the CEO is still paying himself full clip last i checked!

In the Centrelink queue tomorrow if reports are accurate

Should never have been appointed after the pay dispute. Started with a black mark already against his name and was either too stupid to recognise it or too incompetent to respond to it.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Making bold projections claims and failing to back them up with data is a fair summary of his biggest mistake in the player payment negotiations. Clearly not facing any consequences for that meant he didn't learn anything.

Meanwhile, CA doing their best for fans by forcing robelinda2 off YouTube:



Way to read the room.

Yep how ridiculous.

CA should actually employ Rob to create the content on their behalf as they barely produce anything of interest.

It would be a great way to engage fans of the games past who are dropping off in numbers

Don't know about reading the room, but I read the tweet and YouTube isn't mentioned.

It'll apply to his YouTube channel as well.

Good day for cricket.

Ha ha, wonder if they got belted on Twitter.

I doubt Cricket Australia knew it was happening, most of this stuff gets done by independent contractors anyway.

It was possibly Kevin Roberts' farewell gift to CA.

yeah and the first notice Rob got was for a match that the ECB have the copyright for. I'm guessing they use this company to mainly take down live streams + uploads of highlights of recently completed matches.

Might want to review that tender process.

 

[The Speaker]

I assume there has to be some legal reason why CA (and other boards) don't just employ Rob on their behalf, given that a number of them seem to like him and approve of his material. He probably has some things that they don't have access to themselves.

Playing music on cruise ships is a pretty sweet life, tbh.

Not when there's no cruises!

If Victoria can't get COVID-19 under control like the rest of the country, the Boxing Day Test should be moved to Adelaide, and their Indian Test can then go to Perth. Melbourne can host the Afghanistan Test in November.

If the Victorian situation remained worse than the rest of the nation, very early call, why would they get the earlier Test? If they can't host a match in December, they surely can't host a match in November.
Surely the game would have to go to Hobart or Canberra, or CA being CA, Sydney would get two India Tests and Perth still get Afghanistan.
(And, yes, I know you're not entirely serious)

 

[Cleavy]

CA will do whatever option gives them the most coin.

or if the new CEO is trying to suck up to the players, they might play another at the Gabba

Zimbabwe’s tour of Australia has been called off according to fox cricket

Yeah lol you would get as many people at a locked out MCG as you would get in Perth so makes no sense to move it

The afl want to do the same ...they have until 31 December to get a season done. Should CA allow the afl to use the G come summer time?
