Martin Hardie: I write the forms... I think Evans ran the program

[FuManchu]

I think a lot of us read with some amusement Hardies lambasting on this website:

http://www.thegolfforum.com/index.php?/topic/6853-devices-and-remembering-fuzzy-zoeller/

But it was this statement about Evans running the program which got my interest.


"If you want to know what i think about Dank, Hird or Gallen read my opeds etc or wait for my book next year (btw I think a guy called evans ran the program)"

If true, what implications does this have on the whole saga?

If not, why even throw it out there as it has a whole new range of implications for him personally.

 

[Argy]

The accusation doesn't smell right. Doesn't seem to fit with what Evans was trying to do before he resigned.

"Financials ready for you and David for AOD project. These financials cover all possible revenue streams where the project applies."?

To what degree the board and, by extension, Evans were aware of the program is something I have pondered from time to time. I don't know enough about club boards to have a feel for the sort of info they would require to sign off on a global budget for any new program. In the end, in terms of board culpability, I think it will all amount to nothing. My guess is they were probably unaware of any meaningful detail and, even if they were fully aware, the people who are on that board are clearly smart enough not to leave muddy footprints behind.

 

[FuManchu]

"The financials are ready for you and David"?

Yes, I did think of that.

It doesn't exonerate the players, they still should of checked. Hird is still implicated because we know he was coach and we have texts between he and Dank endorsing Dank's methods.

But I've never really thought of Evans as anything more than a chairman who had no idea he was presiding over a laboratory rather than a football club.

MaddAdam might have something to add.

I think the board knew full well what they were doing, but tried to make it as hush hush as possible. Evans tried to clean up the mess, and that may have involved Hird being thrown in front of the bus but Hird did it first.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of hearing about this goose named Hardie.

In the event that Hardie does indeed insinuate such a thing, I think we need to consider:
1. How right has he been so far in his assessments?
2. Where might he be getting his information from? This is probably largely Dank, who we can assume knows who was writing the cheques, pulling the reins, but might he be inclined to protect Hird and throw Evans under the bus? Who ultimately sacked Dank? Could possibly be Hird who will throw anyone under a bus.
3. Is he going for the twist ending to sell a few more books?

I'm not ruling out that it isn't true, but I think Evans would have clung onto his position a lot harder to control the narrative if it was.

 

[Laphroaig]

The claim fits certain knowns, including Evans' eagerness to put the issue in a bag and drown it as soon as possible, and the Hird/Evans falling out. And the AOD project. And certain business relationships known of, including relationships which predate Hird's employment as coach.

But so do alternative explanations. And it's Martin Hardie FFS.

Can anyone verify is this is actually him and not some troll?

Who can be shagged giving him a first name?

 

[rdhopkins2]

It's strange, his resume is online too.

"Financials ready for you and David for AOD project. These financials cover all possible revenue streams where the project applies."?

In the Dank/Bates texts, Dank refers to setting up the supplement program as a R&D tax break at Essendon (which was aborted). This may be what the above quote refers.

It may refer to a giant teapot orbiting Saturn too.

How one makes the leap of faith to infer that "all possible revenue streams" really means tax relief, I find it hard to fathom.

It's obvious you have had no involvement in R&D tax deductions otherwise you wouldn't be calling it a leap of faith. It's a pretty basic approach to make sure all revenue related to the R&D is captured to maximise the tax break.
