Eddie McGuire has eluded to private support he received from within his former football club leading up to his resignation as Collingwood president in February.
The divisive media mogul made his return to TV on Wednesday night after reportedly going radio silent following his decision to resign after 23 years at the club.
McGuire admitted the circumstances surrounding his departure left him "very, very sad" when he returned to host
Footy Classified on Channel 9.
The 56-year-old left figures close to him concerned about his health and wellbeing last month after reportedly losing support from sections of the club's board of directors following the conclusion from the club's internal investigation that the club was guilty of fostering "systemic racism".
