As opposed to fund raising, not so good at that any more. :lol:

Obviously they are, which is why European cities are throwing money at them. 

 

[JALhazmat]

No, European cities want to host the cup.  Not throw money at Grant. 
 

rather sad that no one wants to throw money at them in NZ though. Shows how far the affections have waned for Grant and the direction he has taken

Thats what happens when the world is gripped by a global pandemic.

Really, got a list of all these cities throwing money at them?

There's a shortlist of 2.

Presumably there is a longlist? I'd be curious to see who's on it.

Hence the plural cities.

And how much money have these two cities thrown at the team so far?

 

[yoyo]

How much cash will TNZ want in return from a host just to cover the insane logistics costs to move the team to another destination.  What a waste of money and environmental resources.

Depends on how gullible these cities are in thinking that 6 - 8 teams are going to show up for 2 years, when in reality it will be 4 - 6 teams for 4 - 6 months.

Who cares? They'll spend what ever they think they can/ is appropriate and beats out other host bids.

Have you ever bid in an auction?

 

[JALhazmat]

Less than 99million 

now they know they don’t have a home based safety net they can low ball Grant as he has no option to go back too.

I seriously doubt the Irish negotiators will be gullible.

Hey, you were the one being pedantic about how two was cities. You made the claim these two cities are (present tense) throwing money at them, so how much are they presently throwing. Or did you just make that bit up, like most of your claims.

Probably a bad call to have not accepted a bid from elsewhere before tell Kiwi to piss off. The 99 mill offer has been withdrawn by the government and Auckland and I doubt it would be reinstated. They have shit in that nest.

Will be funny as fuck if they had to accept less on top of losing their fan base. :lol:
