Well seeming as nobody is linking to it, here it is

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Fahour

On December 9 2007, it was reported that Ahmed Fahour was set to become a director of the Carlton Football Club. With this announcement came the inevitable speculation that Fahour will eventually take over from current Carlton President Richard Pratt.

 

[Blueinblood]

AHH SCREW IT
Ahmed Fahour is probably going to become a director at the carlton football club and will most likely take over as president when dick leaves the club

 

[HBF]

That's great to hear about Fahour. Has been talked about for some time being a Carlton President in waiting.

 

[RPCB]

Good news.

 

[NathanAtDaBlues]

Excellent. I think people assume that without Pratty, we'll go down again. The fact is Pratt has already done his job (he is very efficient!). But at least with this news those SEN callers who keep calling for Pratts head (thinking they are hurting Carlton) can go back into their holes. Because with a backup like Fahour, were in very safe hands.

 

[HBF]

Whenever Pratt stans down, we can all be assured that Fahour will continue on with the fantastic work that Pratt has started at the club.

 

[audas]

Da, da, da, da, daaaaa!

 

[Blue Dimension]

It's ridiculous to think that if Pratt wasn't president of our club that we would suffer as a consequence. Pratt is a true blue through and through and will always be around for good or worse.

 

[Dramoth]

Well... we all knew that Pratt was going to leave the club with a much better administration than before he arrived.

Not only is he a fantastic money man, he is also extremely efficient at setting up a management group that can perform without his constant attention.

He has got in some of the best sports administrators and management and if it is true about Fahour becoming our next president after Dick leaves, then he has really set the club up for the next 10 years.

With the people we have in place now, there is no way that the AFL is going to be able to hurt us again...

 

[Silvagnis]

There has to be some conflict of interest here for the trolls to find fault in.

 

[judd5]

Can somebody fill me in on who Ahmed Fahour is, and why he would be great as the Carlton President?
Sounds like its a good addition to the staff at Carlton from what everyone is saying though

I believe he is the CEO of the National Australia Bank. Would have great experience at running a multi-million dollar company and would have alot of high flying contacts.

Nope... ****em

there could only be a conflict of interest if the NAB were still sponsoring the pre-season cup and he was the president of the blues... and we went on to win it...

But then again... **** em all
