BT has let the bombshell loose on TripleM that the Pratt family will clear all debt at Carlton if the current board leaves.

Who knows and who cares.

BT further mentioned no formal approach to the board has been made, but the proposal is being formulated as we type. More info after the ads.

That is what you call a Win Win providing we don't get another bunch of people that have the charm and personality to run a funeral parlour.

Wouldn't expect to know anything being a potential takeover bid.

Ahmad Fahour being talked up by Whispers in the Sky as a definite for the next president. TJ isn't prepared to state whether as part of the Pratt bid or current board.

No Pratt has not spoken. BT is not revealing his source. Interesting he knows and no one else.

Tiffany Cherry on SEN this morning said that there was a very big rumour doing the rounds that Carlton's debt would be totally wiped out by the end of the week. She wouldn't elaborate, but said that it's no coincidence that a Smorgon is now President of the Club and that 1 more Board member will go very soon.
