The Sale controversy continues on Radio over sale

What does it matter how many games he has been to in the last 5 years - Personally I've been to probably a quarter of the home games in the last 5 years - does that make me ineligible to put an offer down, or just not fit to be the owner?

Let's move on people.

For the fans does it really matter who 'won'.

The fact is that someone (who has been around the game for a long time) is the new owner. Someone who surely knows alot about what needs to be done to make/keep the team successful and for them hopefully profitable.

Sit back and think if all the offers were the same $$ value who would you choose?

MVP - Well known basketball on the local scene Bell and a somewhat unkown backer.

Peregine - Obviously good business knowledge, passionate about basketball

Lewis - Family history with the club

Hemmerling & Grooves - NBL Chairmen, member of the board probably been around the NBL in a high capacity alot longer than any of the others.

To me on paper the best credientials are the new owners - does that mean they also offered the most money - I don't know probably - does that mean they are the best, who knows I'm sure the other parties would all have had their own ways of operating and their own vision. Fact is that Hemmering is the new owner, grooves owns the dome and they had the best credientials and probably the most money on offer!

Why is there so much bickering about it all? It is not that uncommon for interested parties to remain anonymous throughout the process.

Personally I'm looking forward to what Hemmerling can do with the 36ers and what kind of input/effect Grooves will have.
