Colin Young has a long history of using the media as pawns and tools in the negotiating process.
He leaks and plants stories at will to help his cause, even if the truth is manipulated , distorted at at times mischievous.
Look no further that the drawn out saga through all forms of the media in the Cameron McCarthy fiasco.
McCarthy had a huge offer on the table from The Purples, far superior financially, to the GWS contract he had so happily inked six months before and then subsequently put on a pantomime show that was beautifully orchestrated and choreographed by none other than Colin Young.
Young is a Master of Puppetry , a real prick to deal with, but you would want him in your corner if you wanted some hard ball negotiating done.
Whilst I personally don't like the guy, I can't help be impressed by the fact that he gets results.
But also don't be fooled he is businessman who is primarily money driven , so always view and take his comments on board with this caveat :
" Always look for the self interest".
