Hey fitz I was just wondering. As a sponsor would you stop sponsoring the sharks if we sign Todd Carney?

I have no real preference on Carney either coming or not. I don't think it's stupid to sign Todd and I don't think it's stupid not to sign Todd.

What WOULD be stupid to me would be to sign Todd...and then give him an entrapping range of restrictions, particularly a drinking ban. That's like waiting for the Sun to rise in the East or for the zebra to pop out without stripes. It isn't going to happen and expecting it to is moronic. This isn't a rehab center (an argument that works both in his favor and against). You have to accept that IF you sign Todd you do so warts and all. Again, I don't have a real preference on it and haven't voted in the poll, but IF the Club were to sign Todd I hope there would be a realization that you're getting sixty cents on the dollar for him. I'm interested to see how it plays out.

Dude the sun does rise in the east......

the word on the street reads like this "dont sign carney because of if he stuffs up it will bring us bad press"...

my question is does it really matter to the sharks because all we ever seem to get is bad press and people taking pot shots at us....

Sign him up and put a condition in his contract that he can only drink alcohol at sharks leagues club. Win win all round.

I think we should sign Carney, despite his reputation, I think he's what we need. We have great forwards, but we need a classy half and if Carney can be settled off the field he is that classy half.

However the word i've heard today is the club certainly has not yet had discussions. The attitude is we don't have the money to be buying Carney at the moment and certainly not competing with other clubs like Souths who need a half and have money.

If he is still hanging around in a few months time without the club, they'd certainly entertain the thought of picking him up extremely cheaply.

That's not the news I wanted to hear, but that's what I've heard.

Wow your so mature. Look around and quote me when I used that?

I have never been a **** to you ever. Question you yes. Tried to joke at you? For sure. But I always respected you for what you have done or did for the club. But the last few days all you have done is shown why this club as such a low membership and fan base.

It's people like you that drive away the weekend fans. The fans just want to come and watch the footy have some beers and some laughs.

The thing is fitz you think your better then the rest of us which in fact your not? What you give your pocket change to the club call yourself a sponsor and all of a sudden your top ****? Mate my life is the sharks. I own every ****in jersey, every polo shirt, every jumper and jacket. I bid on every auction and have won my fair share. Every person who knows me, automatically think sharks as well.

But after all that do you see me put myself above a guy like A.snow who isn't a member of the sharks?

Get off your high horse buddy and answer the simple question.
You a sponsor. If Todd carney signs with the sharks will you stop being a sponsor?
Will him being a shark force you to reconsider affiliating yourself with the club because you think his image will hurt yourself or your business?

No offence big guy, but when I think of you I think of one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen! Haha

Sorry, for taking it off topic. I think your question is fair and could change a lot of people's opinion on this topic. I hope you get an answer, good luck.
