Storm fan faces legal threat

[Kaz]

The Melbourne Storm fiasco has taken a new twist, with club chief executive Ron Gauci threatening to sue a tram driver for defamation over comments he posted on social networking websites during last year's salary cap scandal.

Mr Gauci, appointed CEO of the National Rugby League club in July last year, has sought compensation and an apology from 28-year-old Melbourne Storm fan Jamie Koo, of Sunbury.

Mr Koo posted comments on websites describing Mr Gauci as ''a News Ltd puppet'' and ''in the exact mould of John Hartigan himself''.

Mr Hartigan is the chief executive of News Ltd, which owns the Melbourne Storm.

According to a legal letter obtained by The Age, the comments have caused Mr Gauci ''distress, embarrassment and humiliation''.

Imagine how many fans Henjak can sue.

Oh good choice for a CEO. A fucking retard.

What a douche bag.

Seriously if every CEO was going to sue fans for saying shit then... lol.

OMG - Bruno Cullen could spend the rest of his life suing people if this is how footy club CEO's react to a little criticism

 

[The Brizz]

If Bruno cops on I will have to declare bankruptcy!

 

[Flutterby]

LOL - yep and this place is going to be shut down for sure

 

[Porthoz]

I just hope Henjak doesn't read the forum... :oops:

 

[Big Pete]

It would be like the rapture if Cullen and Henjak caught on, all the knockers would be sent somewhere unpleasant (a Sydney tunnel) while the rest of us would be fine.

I think only np fits that last criteria.

 

[Coxy]

I would certainly go bankrupt.
