mikeod 21 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 This could well turn out to be the most important night in the club's history. Its also important to think - how much does this save in the long run with regards to interest and the like? Its just enormous. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah tell me about it, i don't understand it at all. Perhaps he thought he'd stick around...? I head they were reluctant to sign someone on a set contract in case there was a change of heart/board and we had to pay him out. Still, why put him on 460,000 Quote
heartbeatstrue 57 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 170 people in attendence plus 25 people who couldn't make it, making it 195 x $6,000. Total amount pledged to be announced in a minute. You with ASIO or something?? Gee glad I wasn't there, they would have skun me out... Great intelligence, Haydo. Thx. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Maybe Hutchy chipped in 8 grand for the inside scoop Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Youre absolutely spot on Mickrocks..the Interest is a killer. Get rid of a lot of that and al lof a sudden even the same revenue stream gets much hightened results. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 WOw! That pulls the heart strings Haydo, that is just...overwhelming. Many thanks from all. Now its up to the rest to eat away at the debt over August (and the interest too - yes BB). BB you could be spot on with the $1.75m prediction. By the end of August $3mill could be wiped off! Quote
Rogue 585 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Rogue, the three month "pay-out" is his payment for the three months he worked If so, then there was no 'payout' at all - we had simply already paid him for work that he had done (ie. wages). I think it would be unlikely that there was no severance pay. It seems more likely that the 'payout' is equal to three months of work, as has been reported: "McNamee lasted only 106 days, but will receive a payout believed to be $115,000, equal to three months of his annual salary at Melbourne." http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5016161,00.html "The Demons are contractually obliged to give the departing chief executive a payout of about $115,000." http://news.realfooty.com.au/sport/paul-mc...80723-3jmn.html If there was in fact no payout, we've done a terrible PR job.

45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 That's why I used quotation marks, and why Distance Demon provided that summary. Because we (or me at least) don't think it was a payout, but actually just payment for his time in the job. And i'm happy to be proven wrong, as that would correct my judgement on the matter Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 If this info eventuates, it'll be more than 1.75 i'm thinking Quote
heartbeatstrue 57 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Foxtel are giving dollar for dollar, up to 100 grand, so that's 1.85M already by your estimates... Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Haha don't wanna be greedy but i'm hoping if half, 100 donate 6 thats 600, and 95 donate twice that, that's already about 1.75, not including if some put more in Quote
Tex 68 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 never so happy to be wrong !! :D $2,013,000 the final amount raised. No Ron Walker btw. Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Don't think i've ever been so nervous away from gametime Quote
45HG 1,559 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Holy moley! That is amazing, our club is on the up people GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS. i'm going to save as much as i can all month and donate as much as possible in one hit Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 $2,013,000 the final amount raised. No Ron Walker btw. Wholly siht! Wow. That's brilliant, that's this years $2million debt wiped off already! That will be front page news tomorrow. Quote

Jerry Lundergard 420 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I am stoked with that effort. It still won't get the filth off the back and front pages though. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I am stoked with that effort. It still won't get the filth off the back and front pages though. Tomorrow's Headlines: DEMONS TURN CORNER PIES LIES PUT CLUB IN TURMOIL Quote
Guest TheVoice Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Thats fantastic news Some very generous people have just help stabilise the foundations of this great club. Thankyou each and every one. Any calls from India by any chance Haydo?? Quote
danboyle99 2 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Best news ive heard for a while. Its all well and good to demolish the debt but we really need to start making profits. This is a great start though I read on big footy "There is still one function left for the members who are willing to donate between the 500-1000 buck mark, so hopefully we can get 200-300k from that as well, a great start to wiping that 5 million debt." ANyone know what this function is? I would be happy to go Quote
