Brumbies can't afford to pay out Jones' contract can they? Sounds like he's going to get his money's worth one way or another

I am starting to wonder if the rant was a bit strategic. He knew they could oust him and he got enough out in the public realm to make people see there are real issues and stop it bring swept under the carpet.
Knowing Jones has had links for many years with the Brumbies I think he may be willing to make the sacrifice for what he believes is the best thing for a club he genuinely has a passion for.

While the ARU was involved in the referral to the police by the Brumbies of the university move, it’s understood their support stemmed purely on the back of an independent audit conducted by forensic analysts.
Police are believed to be examining up to 50,000 emails and documents from 2009-2013 relating to the deal, in which their Griffith base was sold for $11.375 million.
Jones has said publicly that his referral did not relate to any current Brumbies employees and there was no money missing, but that he had found several “anomalies” which he referred to forensic accountants KPMG, who then concluded it should be further investigated by authorities.

KPMG wouldn't have recomended referral to the AFP without good reason. I do not agree with the way Jones conducted himself in that interview but am also concerned that Pulver doesn't seem to concerned about ongoing management of a Super Rugby franchise. After the KPMG investigation he would have no option but to support further action and the first paragraph implies it was reluctant. Seems like a face saving move in getting rid of Jones and no real desire to get to the bottom of any mismangement.

If I am correct in the radio interview when Gavel was referring to the defimation action he refers to an alleged email sent from Jones to Roff.
I think we are now seeing the cast of this production previously unnamed being unmasked. Based on the names and the advanced nature of the alleged replacement plans it suggests power play.

Any chance of a snip? It's behind the paywall.
I don't think that Joe Roff would entertain the idea of being CEO right now as he was the recipient of the email in question that will be before the courts this afternoon in the defamation case.

Using most of the profits from the Griffith sale to occupy a building at UC that you don't own. The Brumbies have no property in their bottom line. At least the reds have 18 million worth of property.

While not completely onboard, excuse the pun, I'm with him, only because I think he had good intentions, even if he had a lousy way of communicating it.
