So Collo leaves a club he's played for, worked for and donated a HUGE amount of his time to as President FOR NOTHING and leaves the club because some of the board members had an issue with a deal with a newspaper?
"Sounds a little odd?"
Maybe because it's crap?
Yet another post that provides one piece of rumour/opinion and arrives at an outcome without taking into account any of the other various complexities.
Have you met Surrey Blue yet DUC?
Hey
GWS - your horse Betsy is waiting for you outside.
The complexity of the matter was that the Board did not roll over and say whoopee on Collo's proposed deal [and now signed deal] with The Age.
As head of Telstra Dome he had just signed an exclusive newspaper sales deal for distribution rights at the Dome.
The Age then wanted to extend to the members of the football club that he was also President of.
The simple fact was that Collo did not have the full support of the Board, which he unfortunately, for him, he needs to have.
And please don't make me puke about how much time and money and effort he put into the club - when it was he that signed half the dodgy player deals when he was the club CEO.
Collo gets Carlton to move home games to the Dome and didn't get paid a cent for it?
Shocking! He should speak to Kerry Stokes about the $7m he spent on the VC medal and see what money he can get from that.
All you've done here DUC is extend your conspiracy theory RUMOUR with jack all to back it up. What you seem to be saying is Collo left Carlton because of a newspaper deal/non-deal.
There were 50 or so other issues that may or may not have contributed to Collo leaving Carlton.
Oh - and where did you get this amazing $7 million figure from for the VC? That's a very impressive leap from the $1.2 million he actually paid.
