Not sure on that.. I don't think he plays games like Castle does over signings. Tis a very straight shooter, and no nonsense operator.
Mortimer has had time whilst Dib has been overseas to blab to the media and try and stir up trouble behind closed doors. It's blown up in his face well and truly.
I think Mortimer will be lucky to see out Friday, as if he actually has tendered his resignation, with Dib fuming about this, don't be suprised if Dib/Coorey/McMahon have already accepted it and given him a box to pack up his office... so it could be a 6 man vote.

Arthur Coorey - Director (also sits on Leagues Club as Vice Chairman)
Anthony Elias - Director
Andrew Farrar - Director

Peter McMahon - Director (also sits on Leagues Club)

Barry Ward - Chairman/Director of Leagues Club Only
George Coorey - Chairman/Director of Leagues Club Only

From memory Dib pulls far more rank than Mortimer on the boards, and he will be absolutely seething about the leaking to the media.
If it comes to taking sides, the board will stand alongside Dib over Mortimer.. that I'm almost 100% certain of.
