Yeah I agree that the specifics don't matter too much. I am just listening to the radio interviews on ZB and you can hear it in his voice that he is a bitter man. I listen and think he probably doesn't have a grasp of the reality that was facing the Phoenix under his watch in the last few months. I still think he should just walk away like a boss rather than whinge about it.

As for maturity about it, well you can debate the merits of that all day around that but he doesn't do himself any favours sometimes the way he carries on in the media. Proclaiming that he has confidence in the WGA deal? Its not a conversation for this forum or today.

He created it, grew it and handed it over when it was time. For that, I salute the man.

 
This is kinda what I was meaning two pages back on Saturday. He is not living in a reality about his situation and where its at.
 
I feel for the guy. He is about to lose everything I guess and its going to be tough for him and his family such is the fall from grace. Its unfortunate that the property market went tits up on him but when you play in that high roller game, you got to know when to walk away.
 
I would be intrigued to see the reaction at the FFA office. I think they might be thinking 'We did the right thing'. I'm more inclined to believe Michael Browns line about 'giving up the Phoenix which is questionable'
 
Good luck Terry. I hope the creditors don't completely strip you.
