Apparently the rumour this was offered three weeks ago and FFA rejected it.

there was an article with a much higher figure a few weeks ago, i thought the discussion was on the aus football page.

I would have walked out of the room tbh. As shit as the admin are atm, even that is an insult.

Take the money. The Australian Economy is about to go to shit, once the housing market crashes. Take the deal FFA, you're not as big as you think you are.

At least it's an improvement and you always knock back the first offer.

Its pretty low but it smells like a general negotiation tactic. FFA go high, Fox Sports go low, then they'll meet somewhere in the middle (hopefully anyway). 

I understand that but 55 is a very very low starting point.

I thought their offer was in the 75mil ballpark?

Kaufusi,
