A $6.5m sponsorship waiting in wings if Pirtek pulls pin on Parra ...

i would presume DJ's have to consult their Lawyers before blurting stuff out on air

They still get it wrong, and an 8 second delay isn't quite enough for the lawyer to run up the stairs to the studio :lol:

 

[MarkInTheStands]

So because other clubs haven't sued in the past, it means no libel has occurred here? Infallible logic :lol:

Meh, I know we all hate him, but Fitzy used to be quick on the draw holding journo's to account.

That is why Rebecca what's her name and Buzz hate his guts, because he successfully sued them for liable a couple of times.

STEWART SAYS NO

BRETT STEWART is likely to knock back a lucrative offer by News Ltd to settle a defamation case. The Manly star is believed to be between $300,000 and $400,000 out of pocket after covering legal expenses. He was found not guilty of sexual assault allegations in September. It is understood the Manly fullback is holding out for a bigger payout. News recently settled another defamation matter filed by former Parramatta Eels chief executive Denis Fitzgerald.

Well let's hope our current CEO has as much success as his predecessor.

I call bullshit on Ozzie suing anyone. He can't afford to pay off the club amex, yet is dropping names like Stuart Littlemore. :lol: It would cost him a years salary to run that case.

Can't use the clubs money to pay for lawyers either. Roy is still chasing the former CEO for doing that.

If he's suing 2GB then Stuart Littlemore would probably do it pro bono :lol:

could be a bit risky for Ozzie as his financial situation may not allow him to take the risk.

I believe the Fitzy legal bill that is in question stems from a difference of opinion if the club should cover such action when he was defamed in his role as CEO or if it is a personal mattter.

He'd have to be pretty confident of winning then. A settlement would surely include costs.

As for his ability to pay his bills, he likely had a cash-flow problem rather than being broke - a lot of people had to pay margin calls a couple of months ago, and access to an easy cash loan wouldn't be something I would have turned down if I'd had access to it.

 

[Gronk]

Even if he does, the Supreme Court will need Ozzie to show that he has the capacity of paying all costs against him if he loses. It's a scary thought that you are putting that family house on the chopping block.

Again, I call bullshit. It's not the sort of case a man with 9 kids wants to do. Singo would not be losing a wink of sleep.

should ask the club if you can ship a carton of jumpers to you to sell on their behalf. :sarcasm:

I think the 'costs' side of thing depends on how much you irritate the judge.

In a media case it would be unlikely the judge awarded costs either way unless one side was so far wrong it wasn't funny.
So it would simply come down to either getting an amount (for Ozzy) or clearing their name (media outlet).

In the end, Ozzy might be lucky to get more than $15k out of it. Which would lead me to conclude that it's all just talk on his part.

Would the proceeds be loaned to Justin Poore?

Once again, you lot are all making assumptions on Osborne's private financial position.
It ain't any of our f**king business.

Osborne's loaded mate. He's selling a house worth nearly $2 million.
On top of that he's been earning 6 figures for the past 15 years.

Don't confuse the fact of a hefty (by your standards) personal loan fool you into thinking he's broke. He only would have been lent that money because he's capable of paying it back.

I understand you want to see him go down but don't let it cloud your judgement.

Again, I call bullshit. It's not the sort of case a man with 9 kids wants to do. Singo would not be losing a wink of sleep.

That's because Singo can easily afford to pay whatever the damages are, and he knows even negative publicity is good publicity when it comes to the media.

I don't think he's in it for the money; he needs to get the media off his back.

At the moment there's no footy and the journos are hungry for a big off-season story. They smell blood and they won't let up without a fair smack on the nose.

Didn't he admit on the weekend that he can't afford to keep this Byron Bay holiday home he purcashed last year? I'd assume that's where the cash flow problem lies. That's what happens when you buy a place for 1.9 million dollars. Eyes are bigger than one's stomach.

Allegedly because the agent did him over. Not exactly his fault if true.
