Wonder what the role in the middle east is? Hamas Football Federation maybe? Or is he going to be a special consultant to the Israel occupation force in Gaza helping them create an Aleague like Apartheid against the locals once they raze the place to the ground?

Leading  the Saudi World Cup bid - they're doomed

Your lack of judgement. Sometimes your try too hard. That's OK. This isn't.

Very strange appointment.
SRJ was just started in August and is owned by the PIF. So basically owned by the Kingdom. I'm guessing sportswashing is the primary objective.
Strange that DT gets the CEO gig. I get why they may opt for a foreigner but of all the people in the world, they choose DT. Were CFG really that impressed with him?

CFG are United Arab Emirates not Saudi Arabia

Probably gave him a glowing reference to get rid of him, and Saudis taking him is an unexpected bonus

Yeah that was what I was kinda thinking as logical link between DT and the Middle East would be CFG.

Surely he speaks well, one on one, to hold the position he does.

It would be simple to run a line of 'Aussie football did not have the money, vision or the wisdom to implement my plans - unlike people of your greatness'.

Combine that with a carefully manicured CV like so many highlights reels for dodgy players and he could show proven success and a plan for greatness ready for their deep pockets to pave the way to glory.

I am never surprised by the ability of a speaker to continue to rise.

When I wear their colours, I am the club.

Former Labor heavyweight joins Foxtel board as new billionaire owner reshapes pay TV giant

Stephen Conroy, the former federal communications minister turned lobbyist, has landed a new gig — a seat on the Foxtel board — following a major shake-up under its new billionaire owners at global sports streamer DAZN.


So, Looks like someones putting the Band back together

Having drained the APL of the Silverlake cash, The Repucom/Neilson sports crew look like they're circling the APL's carcass

Conroy also shares connections with Dazn’s inner circle.

Former APL boss Danny Townsend joined SURJ Sports Investment, part of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, after leaving the league in 2023.

His successor included DAZN co-founder James Rushton.

Earlier this year, SURJ spent $US1 billion ($1.5 billion) buying a stake in Dazn, a deal led by Townsend — who now sits on the Dazn board.
