Exactly what I was thinking

Vizzy

And Daddy wasn't too pleased either when George was running a Nissan dealership and driving a Merc.

Cerbera

Who is it about?

Vizzy

George Mordaunt has written a book about his economic downfall

I doubt it was the only thing daddy mordant wasn't happy about. A lot of their old customers won't deal with them anymore due to the antics of the sales people.

Pure and utter greed,He said in the interview with Tubridy [available to listen again on Tubridy on the 2fm site,Wennesday I think] that he bought houses in an estate to control the rent.It comes actross in the interview that he put pressure on his father to let him take over the business..The result being ,his father said " If you want it take it "...Akick in the arse might have been the better option.He is now describing himself as an author and public speaker.He is looking for sympathy now,the sympathy he didnt give to customers,if they had a problem with a purchase.Why are the Nissan lights still blazing,if he is not connected with any company now?

tippspur

Well said Chakra Blue,It amazes me how this guy is being treated as some kind of hero of the recession.he got greedy and nearly ****ed up the business.Simple as.Another one who thought the good times would never end.

Why did you post this in the Tipperary forum? Locked. Explain via PM and I might reopen it.

Amtmann

Reopened.

think i heard him explain his 'new business model'

customer contacts him and says he wants say a vw passat with a certain milage and other details. he then sources a few in the uk or ireland and presents the options to customer who has paid a deposit already!!:rolleyes:

That's it alright. Makes a change from a few years back. I went in to buy a car and struck a good deal with the salesman. He then tried to get me to sign up for finance which I didn't need not want. The poor lad put up a serious speil about finance being a better idea so I could keep the cash for something else. In the end I left and told him I'd be back the following day to finalise the deal. I arrived with a bank draft and funny enough not one salesman would deal with me as they were all busy. I was promised a call back and I'm still waiting to this day I also know of people who had bought cars previously from them who had very pushy salesmen call to them at home with a brand new car and finance already pre approved on the car!! I've been in the motor trade a long time and never heard the likes if this carry on. Marketing or sales ploy, a lot of their previous customers were lost and deservedly so.

The current strategy is hardly revolutionary but seems to be making money for a lot of dealers in the country.

He has been in the national papers,he was interviewd on National television and radio,but haven't heard him on the local station Tipp Fm.

ANSI

when it was known to the dogs in the street his business was going down the tubes he went to the local paper and Tipp FM and denied it. what is the word for someone who says something that is not true and then goes back on it to sell a book?
Author? LOL. Daddy's boy more likely

see here from kilkenny forum

Maybe this is why

From ANSI's link.

He also confirmed that the Gardai had been notified and that meetings had taken place with the Gardai in an effort to trace the origins of the rumour.

Lol. Brilliant stuff. Go to the extent of asking the Gardai to find out what he knows already. Tell ya what though; he's got some serious coverage over the book. Must have been from connections made when he was on the radio himself all those years ago.

I can remember that interview.I put the question to him [on the birdy network ] why he was not interviewed by Tipp FM.He said they told him,he had to make a pitch for an Interview.The presenter of Tipp Today in reply to a text said he never sent the book to them.[The presenter said this live on air]???? But then again Tipp FM can be pretty poor at times too.

He has claimed that radio was his real calling,and when the pirate station in Clonmel closed,everyone was sacked,except him and two other's.Can anyone here confirm/deny that.I find it amazing the stuff he comes up with.

Today,on LMFM Radio.

Has anyone read the excerpt? Says he was sexually abused in schools and admits to burning letters when working as a postman. What a thing to admit and then expect people to buyy cars from him? In the intro Fergus Finlay says he never knew any of George's troubles when they were giving money to Barnardos when a car sold. Was that just a a stunt to sell them and was Finlay Hornaswaggled?

I heard today that he will be on the Frontline on Monday, explaining why emigration not required.I am sure that will go down well with viewer's,that have son's/daughter's making a living outside of Ireland.
