Eddie made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
FWIW he is a very good journo who occasionally crosses the line in an attempt to get the big exclusive story. He learned a hell of a lot from the Kosi debacle.
For the last time people. Get some perspective. He is NOT a good journo. If any of you wanted to sell your soul persuing blokes who play footy I'm sure you could. Don't insult truly GOOD journos who risk their butts trying to enlighten the public of worldwide atrocities that would otherwise be repressed. Hutchy is simply 'good' at making money for a leeching tabloid media. And we are the suckers lapping up his dross mundanity...
