John Singleton calls Greg Hywood ‘an idiot’ following Fairfax report of merger collapse
Greg Hywood
John Singleton has publicly hit out at Fairfax boss Greg Hywood branding the CEO “an idiot” and company chairman Roger Corbett a “precocious, pretentious prick” on the Alan Jones breakfast show.
Singleton talked to Jones 2GB, which is owned by his Macquarie Radio Network, about the story on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald business section today claiming talks of a merger between Fairfax Radio Network and Macquarie had collapsed.
The article claims the $200m deal had fallen through after it became clear 2GB presenters Jones and Ray Hadley were not prepared to be part of it.
Sounds like the pot calling the kettle ‘black’!
John who?
Bloody love it. The world would be a dull place without the likes of Singo.
Gotta give it to Singo, he still has the art of crafting great lines: “precocious pretentious prick” certainly has a catchy ring to it.
Fair observations. But singleton is in no position to make them.
I could never see Alan or Ray working at Fairfax – whats the tag “Always Independent”
“Colourful” may be the best way to describe Singo!
