    He would be better without Chris

    Is this after he pleaded Her Majesty's courts to relieve him of his Irish debts?

    Fair play to him, he did right!

    Yeah I heard he was coming back alright, which is brilliant news because Yeats is a fantastic broadcaster. With their weekday lineup now, Newstalk clearly trumps all of its competitors and is by far the best radio station in Ireland.

    In the day time they now have the awesome Sean Moncrieff, George Hook's The Right Hook, Ivan Yeats, Pat Kenny's new mid-morning programme and Off The Ball in the evening and during the weekend. I's always the first (and usually last) station I go to whenever I'm in a car.

    A great news story. I can't wait. And Pat Kenny is interviewing him in the morning.
    Well done to Ivan, didn't whine waiting for a hand out from this government like most of the people in financial straits. Got off his arse, used the rule book, and is willing to work.
    An inspiration to us all.
    Quinn/Dunne/Fianna Fail should take note!

    Sure thats great craic as long as you dont take it seriously.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    I remember a boss in my place coming back all fired up from a spot Yates did at a conference about how business competition is all about beating the brains out of other companies. Coupla weeks later his company is dead as a dodo.

    a total spoofer, he belongs on radio with other wind bags like hook, talk is cheap and its all their good for


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,891 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    I thought he went off to Wales to live a bankrupt life .

    As far as I know he is still asset rich in Ireland , so will he be broadcasting from Wales ?

    Thank God for station pre-sets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I am delighted he is back. Don't care much for his personal life but he is a great broadcaster and newstslk breakfast will be much better with his return. Chris is not yet strong enough to anchor the show.

    Got up off his arse??I suppose fleeing to UK to go bankrupt could be considered "getting off your arse" :rolleyes:

    An inspiration? I doubt many of his creditors would agree with you there.

    So you think its ok for him to jump ship and pretend he is a UK resident just to enable him to avoid paying his Irish staff & suppliers:rolleyes:

    He could have done the same thing here except it would have taken longer.
    A purchaser becoming bankrupt is part of being in business and is a risk they accept.

    Replace George Hook with Matt Cooper and you'd have a decent station.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 124 ✭✭johnsds


    I am delhris and Ivan are good craic and it is great to hear the banter out of both of these gentlemen.

    If he had gone bankrupt here, he would have had to hand up a portion of his newstalk salary to his creditors for the next 10 years. Since he is discharged from his debts now, he doesn't have to pay anything - hardly fair now is that.

    According to the indo, after secured creditors took their share of the assets of celtic bookmakers, the unsecured creditors have €1001 to divide out between them.

    Running a bookies is a licence to print money. Only an idiot could bankrupt one.

    If we had the same bankruptcy laws as the UK during the boom years the banks wouldn't have been so reckless with our money. I have absolutely no problem with Yeats going to the UK to sort out his finances/life.

    he didn't pretend, he met all the legal criteria, and if AIB hadn't have tried to scam him it wouldn't have been necessary!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭wazky


    With a name like Ivan Yates, I secretly suspect he is a Russian spy.

    Here to steal our woman and take our amm broadcasting jobs.

    Are you one of his unsecured creditors?

    Perhaps if you were and owed thousands and getting next to none of the money back, I'd say you'd have a different opinion.

    Scam him? You have to be kidding. He defaulted on the terms of the loan and they called it in. Thats what happens, or should happen in these situations. He should have faced the music here.

    The Irish High Court felt differently and refused AIB's application to bankrupt him because of their own actions.

    Seem like always if you can afford to go and live in the UK for 18months you can go bankrupt and be done with it. It was the same way before divorce was legal here, if you had the money to go live there for a year you could get divorced.

    I dislike Mr Yeats, he's a snobby old school anglo irish landed gentry prod and I doubt very much the experience has humbled him at all.
