36ers on verge of "massive" move: Fitzsimons

Looks like it was the official announcement of Eric Griffin replacing Wiley.

Correct but even Bendat/Marvin were getting by as Vlahov/Longley had until Perth Arena opened as Challenge was too small capacity wise for anyone to make money off of it.

Correct. Was just about to make the same point myself. People act as though Marvin came in right at the end of the Challenge Stadium era when in fact he was in charge of the Cats at Challenge for six seasons, longer than he was in charge at the Arena.

That is true. Say what you want about Marvin but he never underachieved, meanwhile JVG only ever seems to underachieve yet has somehow made a whole career in the game.

Might be both Crows and esports.

Crows esport team in Sydney, weirdly enough.

Marvin's biggest skill is that he happened to be there when a squillionaire took over a club that had a long history of success, a loyal fan base, and was about to move to a brand new arena in the middle of the CBD. I guess the new guy is even better than Marvin since the Cats have been even more successful and profitable under his watch.

Well said, many on here struggle to understand this.

On to the other point:

Marvin lost his power in the old NBL as he was de facto running the league at one stage. Once LK came in and put a stop to it Marvin left with his tail between his legs. He ended up with another benefactor - Andrew Twiggy Forrest at the Western Force under much harsher operating conditions - and surprise surprise it wasn't successful! Now he's consulting on his own but must not be doing that well (with not being attached to a rich dude) to take the Sixers gig.

Joint venture with the Crows or EA Sports/Gaming?

"You do realise that Marvin transformed the Cats from a typical team dependent on Dr Jack's money, into one that actually runs at a profit."

"Even if the Marvin idea is true would you really call that a massive move? I wouldn't."

Yeah, appointing the most successful CEO in the NBL is hardly newsworthy.

With Bendat's money. Doubt Kelqley will be splashing that level of cash.

#067 it isn't but since Sixers aren't doing anything it's huge for them.

Although doing a little research now he is consulting on his own as Twiggy let him go. No Bendat or Twiggy now so probably the harsh reality of not being provided for by a benefactor has sunk in and it was time to relive that NBL glory? Purely speculation, of course.

Move to an inner city stadium - check.

Will he get Kelley to spend - to be seen. You would think he is only going if promised there will be a decent budget.

Joey was rumored to be coaching elsewhere, surely that rumour is dead and buried but could it be?
