Confidential reports on another of Eddie’s mates dropped from the Nine payroll, cab driver Gerard Donaghy.

Donaghy appeared on Enough Rope and was so outspoken with his views that McGuire immediately added him to Nine’s stable on a $20,000 retainer.

Donaghy says he did next to nothing for 12 months.

“I did something for (Brisbane) Extra and also for Schoolies Week where a film crew drove around in my cab with me, but basically I did nothing,” he said.

“I think I have been boned.”
