Only got to see the first of two. But its always nice to hear from Frank. It would be nice if he went into a little more detail about the Palmer and Tinkler issues.
I thought the interview was quite good of course Eddie had to throw a few jives about sokkah but all in all it was a good chat between a football man and an AFL man.
Frank does still remind me of the count from Sesame Street though!

One moment raised my eyebrows in the otherwise innocuous interview Frank Lowy gave to Eddie McGuire on the Fox Footy Channel.

It was the interviewer’s curious scepticism of the likely fruits borne by the 2015 Asian Cup, to be hosted by Australia, to which McGuire referred as a possible ‘lemon’.

Respected Sydney Morning Herald columnist Richard Hinds later echoed this notion.

Oh god Eddie king on sokkah bashers mentions one thing about the Asian Cup now there is a torent of Asian Cup bashing on its way for sure!
Great article Les (for a change)
I can't understand how anyone could think honestly that the Asian Cup could be a bad thing? The final between Socceroos and Japan got ratings of close to half a billion people! Besides the olympics when has Australia done anything that rated that high! When has Eddie?
