I was the one that first suggested it was the Jewish influence that was blocking Fahour

It seemed to me the only reason for it because it didnt make sense for anyone to stop him .

It wouldnt be the first and wont be the last time someone is blocked because of religon .

He is not there yet so lets see what happens

Just for people who have no idea how footy clubs work.....
Carlton was a very Protestant club and very anti everything else.(Talk to Elliott or Lofts.. they were anti Catholic.. anti Jewish.. anti Orthodox and anti everthing else... unless it was for the good of the footy club...
Some of these barriers may have been broken down over the years... but they can also exist cos its human nature to be [REDACTED]!!!..

He's a bit older than them so maybe you are right.

Seems a bit extreme though. You wouldn't be exaggerating or generalizing or oversimplifying things a little?

Not even a bit.

Elliot loves and audience.

So the drunken ramblings of a bigoted fool = Pratts blocking Fahour on religious grounds.

Two clear non-religious reasons;

- Fahour is a very abrasive individual with a patchy track record (Don't try to point out Nab as any form of success during his time) who may not be well liked
- Up until 2012 it was arguable that things were on the way up (on field improvements masking a range of other issues)

I choose not to believe that religion could possibly have anything to do with it. I've been wrong before but that's dark ages sort of stuff.

If it was Pratt that blocked Fahour, it is true we can only guess at the motivation.

It is possible that religion was the reason but I think it'd be unlikely.
If it was Pratt, I'd think there are a few more likely reasons. Fahour could have had some enemys that were friends of Pratt. That'd be my most likely scenario.
Or he could have not wanted someone so forthright and powerful sitting on a board where he was President. It seemed that he got his way most times and he ran Visy the same way for decades.

If Fahour was blocked post Pratt, that is worse.

Yep, this is extremely dodgy and there is a lot more to play out.
Not sure anyone on the MLC board is looking too good at the moment.

I don't know if religion played any part in Fahour being blocked but what I do know is this:

When Dick Pratt took over as President, he asked Fahour for assistance with the Clubs debt which was held by NAB...I understand he asked Fahour who was CEO at the time for an interest rate cut or a partial waiver. Fahour was unable to come to the party and Dick spat it big time and pledged to not allow Fahour on the Board whilst he was in charge. The debt was refinanced to Westpac shortly after.

So why things have changed now with Ruffy Germinder and the Pratts supporting Fahour now is the big question.???

Additionally, Fahour may need to look into purchasing a membership should he be really keen on joining the Board as I understand henisin't a member.

Maybe we're getting discounted postage stamps....

The way I read it is that she was asked to explain the overpayment, she can't explain it and therefore she was not entitled to it. She has then been asked to pay it back and she won't or can't do it.
See you later.
In terms of Fahour, I think Italian Blue's reasoning looks the most logical.

Agreed.

Edit

I stand corrected
Ahmed was 'CEO' but was overlooked for the 'Overall Chief Executive' position at NAB

So basically he was blocked from getting the top job

From the NAB website...

Well it's obvious isn't it. The problem started when he was head of the NAB and wouldn't give us a rate cut. But now he's head of Aussie Post, he's giving us a discount on stamps do all is forgiven.

I love happy endings. ................
