But how do you put it in the same position as Cricket Victoria that's got $100 million to invest without giving it $100 million to invest or taking some of Cricket Victoria's money?
Yeah.
And I don't think that's going to happen.
But that's why we have highly paid consultants and accountants, Gerard, to work things like that out.
But when I saw that, I thought...
That's mighty hard to achieve.
How on earth are they going to achieve a situation where some sell, some sell in full, some sell in part, some don't sell at all, but nobody's to be worse off?
Yeah, yeah, that's pie in the sky.
I think there'll be, things will quieten down.
A lot of this work will be done.
Some of it will have been done already or will have been started to be done, some of the legal work.
We'll go about playing the BBL this year with the eight teams and it'll be resurrected again next year when some of these issues have been dealt with.
Put it into perspective, what would have been great, I think, is if we hadn't had all this hoo-ha about who wants to sell and who doesn't want to sell.
There could have been meetings, private meetings, where they agreed on a way forward.
Someone was appointed to negotiate the sales, and it happened as a smooth, professional, commercial transaction that maximized the value that was available for the franchises.
Now, I don't think it's anything like 200 million, but we see those numbers bandied around and suddenly they become facts.
So it could have been handled much better.
It's created a problem for Todd Greenberg and Cricket Australia.
They're stuck in the middle.
The funding issue, one of the other issues that is under review is the Cricket Australia funding issue.
