They sold cheap chinese products, I don't know why Adelaide expected anything else but this to happen.

I wonnder if the Melbourne Renegades received their money ?

Now we can blame UNLEASH for them not sacking Marty

No great surprise.Lets hope they got something out of them.Another group of fly by nighters.

Well the 36ers are still all over the Unleash Solar Web site.

And according to Unleash Solar Web site "the Unleash Solar Adelaide 36ers are one of the most successful clubs in the NBL".

And, quote "All the best to the 'Sixers for the upcomming season".

So not only does US not pay sponsorship money, they can't spell either. LOL ...

I wondering if Adelaide United are having any issues. THey are the main sponsors as well

Now to me this is something I'd like to see Keistina Kinneally take care of, I know age has a lot on her plate but if she is to ever impress the basketball community with her expertise (whatever that may be) then this is something she would easily sort out.

Proud, how is she going to "easily" sort this out?

Here are some thoughts for you:

a) the contract sits between US and the Sixers
b) the contract probably has a dispute resolution process that I doubt includes BA
c) Lets speculate that Unleash are in financial difficulties and simply cannot pay
d) Why would the BA CEO engage in an NBL club/sponsor dispute?

And the obvious...

e) Would you expect Demetriou to get involved in a similar AFL situation?
f) Does the rest of the SPORT, not league, want her to be engaged in these types of isolated disputes?

The best solar panels in the world were made in Sydney until government charges, a lack of support from the government and manufacturing costs resulted in the company being bought out by the yanks!

Now the best solar panels in the world are made in Germany and, you guessed it, the US of A!!!

If Demetriou did not get involved Port would no longer exist

Oh to be a fly on the wall.

Solar companies don't actually have any money. all their money comes from government subsidies, a big revolving circle of taxpayers money.

Firstly I thought Kristina Kinneally was corrupt, now I don't care if she is or not but if her cronies can shake some $ out of US then atleast she will be seen to be doing something!

But seriously the NBL has sat on their hands WAY too much in the past and let teams die, does the AFL loan clubs money (Port Adelaide, St. Kilda, Melbourne, north Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Fitzroy... All in the past 20 years)? The answer is absolutely.

I don't care that AFL have deeper pockets, the NBL let Sydney, Brisbane and South Dragons (all recent or reigning champions) fold and I don't want anybody else dying over a bad sponsorship or any other issues.

I didn't like Malcolm Speed as NBL chief but we need someone like him if KK is just gonna sit on her hands

@Anon'2000...

"why just 36ers?"

Could it be the the dwindling fans coming to the games?

Could it be the booing at the home team at home in front of National TV?

If I were Unleash, I would have pulled funding after the first booing game.

I wouldn't want my company name tarnished by such fans.

@Anon'422...

Could be yes I see your point.

However, why then have sponsors not pulled out of Cairns or 0-10 Townsville?

They occupied that spot for half the season (yet still received support from their fans).

6'ers have been there 3 rounds (yet the knives come out weekly).

Not true....first year was not bottom.
