The biggest non-secret. CEO's have to produce demanded results or it's good-bye. The Sydney media were gunning for him from day 1 as well.

Alan Jones was nauseatingly nice to him today and called him a great guy  ::)
The funny thing is he isn't being replaced - his role will be swallowed up by existing management.
Obviously, won't be missed.
The shame though is he will be still be on air and probably more so  :banghead

Wonder if that means he's no longer invited to James Packer's wedding?

They're still mates, Julz and will be going into other business projects together  ::)
So I guess he's going to the wedding.
Is there a wedding - only you would know that Julz lol

Yes apparently it is a "low key" affair on the French Riviera.  Tom Cruise is meant to be going as well.  Unless Erica's dumped James in the last couple of days.

I think either love him or hate him you have to take your hat off to him as he's a true self made man. Yes he might have the lucky break, But that is good planning on his behalf. I don't like him but I think he's a great bloke. Look how he has sold his team and got sponsorship. But I still refuse to watch his shows, I think watching the grass grow is more interesting than listening to people tell you crap about something, and in the end still get it wrong.
