Rumour Charters paid $1,000,000.00 by Bombers to backflip

[Two Planks]

Shane Charters has been paid up to $1 million by Essendon to change his story and try and get the players off the drug charges. Paul Little met with Charters and his famous "industrial negotiator" at a local football club organized by that clubs "colorful" president who also happens to have a son of the same name that works full time in the fitness department at the bombers.

Wouldn't surprise me. Bunch of dirty cheats. Trying to get off on a technicality didn't work so now they'll try to buy there way out.

They will always be the dopers to me.

No, this sounds ridiculous, you cannot hide a $1,000,000

It has to come from somewhere, it has to be disclosed by the recipient, and the AFL, not to mention higher authorities would crush them.

lol, good thread, would read again

Yet another piece of unsubstantiated garbage sent to the clubs lawyers I presume.

OP posted in the wrong forum - the HTB eat this stuff for breakfast

bet Charters is pretty devo that it's not Sydney involved - he would've got an extra 9.8%

Leave us out of this. You guys shat in your own hole and now you have to sit in it.

And I don't think you would meet anywhere in public where people may see you for that kinda deal from someone with Littles profile.

It sounds doubtful but really the criminal world hides these sums of money all the time, launder it through a casino deposit it in a bank in the Caymans etc, just look at Geoffery Edelsten who is bankrupt yet buys his bint a 160,000 dollar ring.

I wouldn't know how to do it but remember Charters probably has lots of contacts in the right places to make this happen.

If and that is a big if, it did occur I'm sure Little wouldn't be involved it would be a wealthy supporter and it really wouldn't be hard to do, but yes it all does sound a little far fetched, although Essendon did pretty much pay off Robinson to the tune of 2 million and that is way beyond any unfair dismissal claim would achieve.

 

[mellowyellow]

sauce or no sauce,why wouldn't this surprise anyone ....

 

[hamohawk1]

is a plausible situation but surely it would have to be done even more secretly. if this was ever found to be true it would ruin many lives beyond those in the meeting

 

[SterlingArcher]

It was actually just lunch. The bill was $100. Little shouted Charters to thank him for coming along. Little wrote $100.0000 on the cheque. True story.

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

It was 2 milly and it will be money very well spent by the club. Soak it up, chaps.

It doesn't really matter what Charters says at this point.

 

[LeverPuller]

Who says it was paid by the club outright? There's ways to hide it. Blow out the cost of the 'Flight Plan' by a million bucks to 'contractors'.

 

[Milanista28]

Heard it was closer to 15 million.

 

[Smoky]

Heard it was closer to 15 million.

No I think that was the amount of illegal injections.

 

[Milanista28]

No I think that was the amount of illegal injections.

Nah I heard that was between 37 Million and 4.9 Billion.

My sources say anyway.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

There's plenty of numbers floating about.

It's all spare change for Paul.

 

[yaco55]

Could it be linked to the so-called documentary/movie that is being hawked around the networks. I suspect many have their fingers in the pie.

 

[BEEG]

Hirdy and Charters have been good mates for 15 years probably didn't need to get paid
