I keep reading about Clyne complaining about having to bail out the Rebels but this was the ARU's choice all along - to sell to Cox with the extra payments of circa $6 m to him - they had previously turned down an offer from another party who had promised to cauterise the money flow from the ARU but for some reason, Pulver turned that offer down. He has never explained why he did this - instead, he and Clarke pushed the sale through to Clarke's old mate Cox, who the ARU continued to pay money to despite the sale. It doesn't seem logical to me, but I'm just a simple fan - Clyne, if he could explain why the deal to sell to Cox included extra $6m payments instead of selling to (and I do have the details but will not release at this stage) for no extra payments, otherwise, Clyne should STFU about the payments to the Rebels.
If you want to go further back in time, the ARU paid a lot of money to the Rebels while Clarke was the CEO of the Rebels, Clarke at that time acted as if he had an open cheque book, because his old mate Pulver was writing the cheques - e.g.: Clarke took the entire admin team up the Brisvagas to watch a Reds v Rebels match - why would you pay to take the admin team interstate? Crazy right? But lets not examine what actually happened and who was responsible, lets just blanket it all down to those evil rebels who sapped the ARU of their precious money. And on that note, I'm gonna have another wine.
Dare I say it - the ARU engineered most of the problems with the payments to the Rebels and now Clyne is blaming the Rebels as if they are responsible for those problems. Pour me another wine.
