Monty Betham restarts crowdfunding campaign to buy the NZ WarriorsGETTY IMAGES Former Warriors captain Monty Betham has restarted his audacious bid to buy the New Zealand Warriors with the help of fans. Monty Betham is back in negotiations to buy the New Zealand Warriors through crowdfunding. It came a day after Auckland businessman Paul Davys withdrew his bid to buy the club due to a "confusing process". Then on Thursday, Watson stepped down as Warriors chairman, with chief executive Jim Doyle stepping into the role of executive chairman, while chief operating officer Cameron George will become CEO. A local chairman will be better placed to steer the Warriors to achieving success.
