They have to make payments (4%??) to Silver Lake and currently those payments are interest payments due to the debt type of funding that was setup with Silver Lake. It would change (I think) if Silver Lake exercises its option to take an equity position.
Ok makes sense. But the Silver Lake deal is a dog. Didn’t realise they had that option. How long for? So NZRFU have to repay debt if option not exercised. What exactly have they done for this option so far? Amateur hour..
Probably updated the format of the player stats site.
I wondered if anyone (everyone) else thought it was as shit as I do - seems @Nepia and I are in complete agreement for once!
Enshitification at work!

It looks shiny and new but is complete crap. With the old stats site you could easily find info. Now it just appears to be player bios. I was curious to know who is now the oldest living AB. That was an easy click before. Now, who the fuck knows!

I don't think so. It's the interest payments if they decide not to convert. It's the portion of commercial revenue, not profit, if they do decide to convert. One or the other.
The key is they have the option so guaranteed minimum revenue and upside if things improve.
What’s missing Is any news on what has happened post deal. Developing new revenue stream for any business is very difficult. Sports is a saturated market I would have thought.

That's it isn't it, from the outside it appears theynhave done nothing for us, yet this deal was meant to open new doors and increase revenue

NZR+
Which fuck all signed up to and now they put it all on YT etc anyway... Maybe young hip people want to watch that, but I want games and good analysis. Sky does one, only @Mauss and Squidge (cos I fin him funny YMMV) do the other

Why NZR+? ….buyers remorse with Silverlake deal? … bad decisions everywhere….
