December 15, 1997, Monday SECTION: Nationwide General News; Sport (Domestic) LENGTH: 529 words HEADLINE: RL: ARMSTRONG TIPPED TO TAKE OVER WITH GOLD COAST BYLINE: By Brad Walter BODY: SYDNEY, Dec 15 AAP - One of the first casualties of rugby league's war is set to return to the game on the eve of peace, with former Cronulla boss Peter Armstrong tipped to take over the Gold Coast job tomorrow. Armstrong, who was ousted by the Sharks in 1995 because of his Australian Rugby League sympathies, is expected to be confirmed as Paul Broughton's successor at the Chargers annual general meeting. Broughton, appointed when the ARL set up the club in early 1996, has made no secret of his intention to return to Sydney and is likely to tender his resignation at the AGM after ensuring the viability of a Gold Coast team. Within two seasons under Broughton's guidance, the Chargers have proven the most successful of the four sides based in the city since 1988 both on and off the field and will tomorrow night announce a small profit. In addition, the club - established after Seagulls Leagues Club withdrew its backing in 1995 and the ARL revoked controversial entrepreneur Jeff Muller's licence before the following season - has $2 million in the bank. This year, Gold Coast also made the finals series for the first time and coach Phil Economidis has recruited several topline players for next season's anticipated united competition. Helping shape the format for 1998 could be one of Armstrong's first tasks, with a meeting of ARL clubs likey to decide whether the ARL and Super League combine next year. ARL chief executive Neil Whittaker's return from a brief break in Fiji where he watched his son James play in an under-12s soccer tournament is set to see moves towards peace regain momentum tomorrow. After the latest deadline for an announcement expired without incident last Friday neither side has bothered nominating another one but Christmas is now seen as the latest date for negotiations to be finalised. However, the ARL is unlikely to present any blueprint to the 11 establishment clubs unless it is confident of their backing, casting doubts over whether the issue of future rationalisation will now be addressed. News Ltd is determined to reduce the number of teams from 20 to 16 or even 14 by offering financial incentives for mergers in 1999 before introducing cuts in 2000 if the clubs do not respond. But ARL clubs argue they should be given at least two year's tenure to prove their viability after the damage inflicted by the Super League war and South Sydney is one certain to reject anything less. "I can tell you we'll certainly be fighting that," Souths football manager Frank Cookson said. "I can understand them coming in after a couple of years and having promotion and relegation but it's got to be done on merit." Under News Ltd's proposal, it is understood Auckland, Brisbane and Newcastle would all be given five-year guarantees but sources today said those decisions could only be made by the new joint board that would oversee the competition. ARL club bosses remain on standby for a meeting to decide on any proposal formulated by Whittaker and Frykberg and because of the time factor it was now suggested they may only be asked to ratify a 20-team competition in 1998.

I'm closing in on linking rugby's "controversial entrepreneur" Jeff Muller with ZERO's Jeff Muller. The link I've found is geographic: they both do business in the town of Carrara, Queensland, Australia. SAVE THE WORLD AIR INC filed this 10SB12G on 01/27/2000. The Company's executive offices are located in both the United States and Australia. The Australian address is 19-21 Garden Grove, Carrara , Queensland, Australia 4211 and its telephone number is 011-61-7-55945556 tenkwizard.com now here's the info on the rugby team owner Muller: Local millionaire businessman Jeff Muller stepped in to take over the license, moving the team to Carrara and changing their name to the Gladiators (although many others were suggested). Two months of controversy ensued, mostly brought about by Muller's interference in the day-to-day running of the club. (It was reported that his wife has ordered the selection of players for the first grade side on the attractiveness of their 'butts'.) During Muller's reign the club went through a succession of chief executives and first grade coaches, but they also won their first ever major trophy, the World Sevens Plate. In the end the ARL kicked him out and took over the running of the club themselves. users.hunterlink.net.au
