I am not too sure I would read too much into any promises by this Twiggy character, did he bail the Force out last time they ran out of money?
And don't get me wrong I wanted Force to stay, but let's not get carried away by someone who is jumping up and down as water is already over the guardrails of a sinking ship!
Sorry where was the last time. The Force have been the least bailed out team in OZ and we had to sell our IP/licence to get the support whereas other teams have just had cash handed over hand over fist by the ARU.
Twiggy has been a supporter of the Force for a long time through jumper sponsorship and Future Force Foundation. As with anything you would like to see an organisation/team be able to stand on it's own two feet rather than relying on a external benefactor pumping in millions. Maybe he could have done more earlier but the ARU had plenty of time to consider his offer that the Force would not be of any financial burden to the ARU but they rejected his offer because they had made their minds up from the original time they announced a decision on who would be cut was 48-72 hours away.
