Clubs might have no obligation to tell the public if they are charged, but fans rightly so should demand to know

Sky News are now reporting the ACC have given permission to the AFL and NRL that they can inform clubs

This is ABC journalist Jen Browning.

@jen_browning The Australian Crime Commission CEO has granted permission for both AFL and NRL to confidentially notify clubs identified in Project Aperio

@jen_browning ACC "once notified, a club may choose to make it publically known that they have been notified"

DT talking about phone tapping footy players even Doctors being involved with organised crime. Shit is going to hit the fan when this comes out.

Which club is going to go public with this? Would be no point.
Because I doubt the 10 innocent clubs will sit on their hands and let their names and reputations continue to be under a cloud.

Once it is confirmed the investigated clubs have been told, the rest will know they are in the clear and you would be safe to assume they'd come out and say that.

Or the clubs will all agree to make no comment and say "it's being investigated"

I doubt any club that was allegedly clean would take that option, there would be far more to gain by announcing you weren't being investigated.

I would think once all the clubs are notified it would be in their best interests to come out and admit it. The information is bound to be leaked at some point so the clubs should get on the front foot and announce it themselves before it is leaked to the public through the media.
