Reckon FFA knew it was enevitable that Tinkler could not meet his obligations so Murphy got put there to get a "feel" for the place and just to go along with the flow, even if he had to tell porky pies about the situation. I may be wrong but it makes a lot of sense also from FFA's viewpoint.

I'm with you Stopper2. There was a lot of pressure from the FFA on tinkler to make an appointment. Given Murphy's involvement with FFV it's not unreasonable to think the FFA have said "here's a bloke, interview him for the role to sort yourselves out"
