So why did Rod do it? The way the article sounds, he has taken advantage of the old man but I'm sure there is more to it.
Very sad and the only winners will be solicitors. |

If you read the article there was an agreement in place, it is well know that Rod stepped in to take the tyre business off Bob as he was beeding it dry, I think the same was going on with Calder, Bob is a tough old **** and won't give up easy, I reckon Rod has done the right thing before the receivers move in

The distance between him and his son Rodney has been known for a while.
Now that Bob has gotten back together with his wife after splitting up, he claims Rodney was responsible for the break up and done numerous frauds against his name. This was what he said on an ACA interview this year. |

I guess we could all make a judgement here, but really, it's not our business.

No matter what problems you have with your Dad, right or wrong, you shouldn't treat him that way.
He's still your Dad. |

that is a very misguided comment. I hadn't spoken to my father for 18 years before he died and the only reason I'd visit his grave is to make sure he was dead.
he was a sadistic violent aggressive man who deserved no respect but even in that situation I wouldn't do what rod jane did I never wanted my fathers money and wouldn't have accepted it if it was offered

Hard one. By the looks, without Rodney, there wouldn't have been anything left for they family to fight about by now.
Bit of luck, we might get the arguments with Cams settled too and get some more racing back there.

There was an interview with Bobs youngest daughter and a friend of his on ACA last night.
Family feuds only mean one thing in the end. Nothing good will come of it. Apparently Bob was pushed and shoved by the sercurity guards and at 80yrs of age that is disgusting in any mans langauge.

Someone should have given him a slap across the ear when he first decided to get involved with a woman 40 years his junior, common sense should have told him it wouldn't end well I hope it all gets settled soon, it must be detrimental to his health at his age, then again, maybe that's the plan :(

With out bob rod would be a hopeless nobody
Yea bobs a bit eccentric but rod would have nothing with out him, time for the little ahit to show a little respect. Because as it stands only the solicitors will win and the Jane family will be broke

There are more fellas who dont talk to their dad or parents than perhaps you think Its not just a young gen thing,i havent seen or talked to my dad for over 15 years,he is only as far as the fone,he lives interstate,and my mum and other members i dont talk to again for near 15 years ,dont live more than an hours drive If they annoy me, theyll get what they deserve, respect or not I have no respect or time for them , ever Its sad many families end this way, but maybe some people just dont have time for family politics As for ol mate Bob Jane, well he wants to marry someone his junior of 40 years, money or not good on him, she loves him,honest Id love to be doin the horitontal dance at his age,let alone with someone 40 years younger |

It is OK to say "he made it, he can lose it", but there are hundreds of people depending on the Bob Jane name, it is a person but it is also a trade mark

As much as people think the money might dry up, there's not much hope of that....The Bob Jane chain of stores provide plenty of income for the Jane family....Not to mention the vested interest in the property portfolio (which is where Mr Jane SNR made his money).
To me, who cares if there is in house fighting going on.....Does the general mob like us make news headlines if were escorted out of a facility? NOPE, unless we destroy property. Slow news day is all I can say

I question why people watch ACA and then comment on it at all...Go out and live you own lives and forget about ACA or TV in general and all the bull stops.
As for Rod and Bob,Rod clearly cares about it and doesn't want to loose it to Bobs soon to be ex again,LOL.It's there family and by the sounds of it a few on hear should worry about there own not the Janes. |

Rodney Jane is not as he would have you believe. Rodney stole the Bob Jane Corporation from Bob when Bob was very sick.
Rodney did help Bob with issues at the Corporation but he was always waiting for the opportunity to steal the Corporation. He came in Calder Park in a Camo painted SUV and had his father manhandled in front of him (Rodney). All he wants is Bob Jane in a grave... How could anyone understand Rodney is doing the right thing. |
