“Leading the Carlton Football Club has been one of the great honours and privileges of my life,” Sayers said in a club statement on Wednesday. Sayers firmly denied posting the image, which also tagged the account of a senior female executive from one of Carlton’s sponsor companies. “I am aware of speculation that the naming of another person in the post explains why it happened. It does not, and that narrative is wrong. I am so sorry for the hurt that has caused.”
“Once he was made aware of the post, Mr Sayers immediately acted to have the image removed and to shut down his X account.
