Leading Sydney broadcaster Ray Hadley has attacked Manly
over the shock sacking of Bob Fulton’s daughter, Kristie.
Fulton, who was co-ordinator of pathways at Manly, was terminated from her position on Friday and asked to leave the club’s Brookvale offices immediately.
She did so in tears.
Hadley, a close friend of Fulton’s father, the late Immortal Bob Fulton, for more than 30 years, told 2GB on Monday that what happened “to Kristie Fulton on Friday is unforgivable”.

Hadley said Fulton was “marched out of the Manly offices shortly after terminating her for allegedly bullying someone. I know of no formal warning or attempt from HR to deal with the matter.
“She was marched off the premises like she had stolen money from the petty cash tin.
“How is it that a capable, highly intelligent young woman is marched out the door when her father’s name adorns the grandstand at Manly?
“Is anyone at Manly inquiring into Kristie’s mental health? No doubt, Scott Penn (club co-owner) isn’t, he’s probably winging his way back to the US, already there.
“Employers have the right to hire and fire but under workplace laws, they must do so in a lawful way.”

News Corp has learnt a human resources investigation was part of Manly’s decision to cut ties with the pathways co-ordinator.
Fulton’s dismissal came a week after Manly sacked head coach Des Hasler.
Fellow football staff Chad Randall, Michael Monaghan, Rubin Ruzicka and Don Singe have also left the club in recent weeks.
