Because they let their ceo get away with not going his job - he needed to bring in more revenue streams instead of whining about RA - that’s what the ceo does

Winning one game proves they are the best? I thought you had to win the comp to prove that - let’s go one game at a time

A couple of things: I accept the directors (actually lets be clear, all but one - not Gary Gray) have advanced the company money to support the club. It shows passion. But I have a problem with them receiving a notice from the tax office in late November - and while not being able to pay that...

One of the people who are listed as a creditor to Rebels - according to the creditor list, $60,000 is owed to Academy Movement. Academy Movement, founded by ex-teacher Jimmy Orange, has had soaring success re-engaging Victorian public school students from low socioeconomic areas through its...

It’s weird because the execs used to have a leased bmw . In which case it would be returned - why do o they own them?

Thanks Baden. Remember to buy your tickets at Ticketek and we'll see you at the game

Any active insolvency including VA voids the license - they had to give it back at that point (my understanding)

"In response to recent negative media coverage originating out of Sydney, the Melbourne Rebels wishes to address the speculations and set the record straight. Despite the unfounded speculation circulating in the media, we want to assure our supporters, stakeholders, and the wider community that...

A grim future btw I assume the directors will have all assets in trusts so they will declare bankruptcy and that will be that

Yeah nah

I agree scheduling is totally crap - for us - but is very good for NZ rugby

That would be the job of the CEO - to generate further revenue ... Baden....

Yes, and let's recall that when Andrew Cox returned the Rebels to Vic Rugby in 2017 it had a clean balance sheet - there were no debts on it - all tax and other creditors had been paid. So since then, who was in charge of ensuring the statutory taxes were being paid?

I'm pretty sure the legal eagle brain that is Tim North would have known that he and the others were personally liable for this debt. He may have thought he could manoeuvre his way out of it but the ATO is a cold heartless beast.

Yes, this has Tim North's stamp for sure. Shame he didn't raise these concerns and manage the situation before the sh&t hit the fan

The Melbourne Rebels have no problem selling their memberships though: https://membership.melbournerebels.com.au/packages with reserved seating and access to British& Irish Lions tour tickets

Herald sun now reporting that Tim North has claimed RA are responsible for the tax bill
