Don't be surprised if it's not shortly announced that a very large SA corporate body who has links to a couple of high profile SA sporting clubs is not placed in the hands of the "receivers" in the very near future.

Clipsal is owned by Schneider, a massive French company. Won't be them.

Are we talking Radio Rentals, or someone like that ?

Another one is Gerard Corporation - Mistral, Pierlite. I havent heard anything about them doing it tough, and i deal with them everyday.

They do fit the description though.

The owners photo has been in the press in recent times and he's just relinquished ownership of a soccer club so IF wins the prize.

The Bianco rumours have been circulating since before Xmas. I don't think its any secret they are doing it tough at the moment. I dare say building that gigantic premises at Gepps Cross, and the economy going pear-shaped soon afterwards hasn't helped the cause.

if it does happen wont that leave Port Adelaide without any major sponsor, since Vodafones already said they're out after this season...

Gee, kick the man whilst he's down!

He's a very sincere, generous man who looks after those around him ... read the article about him in the Advertiser today, he's been doing that for years.

He's also a very proud man and will do everything in his power to honor his commitments.

If it does happen (which I very much doubt), it will be an absolute travesty of justice.
