Elliot had 25% share of kangas after the failed merger of 1999, he sold them off soon after as the afl turned its back on mergers at the same time.
The Club, not Elliott, had 20% of North's shares for a decade. John Magowan bought the shares and became North's majority shareholder when he led the push to relocate North to the Gold Coast.
Both the hostile takeover and the merger were pies in the sky; the members/supporters - Carlton and North - wouldn't have accepted either.
