What a complete faarkwit, he's doing It for the club and players but it's against their wishes because he knows better.

I wonder whether Little can also survive this.

Of course Little will survive, who do you think is footing the bill for Hird?
$1.5m out of his own pocket

Was boss of Toll logistics for over 20 years, retired a few years back. Still worth about $900 mill

Well, that settles that then!

So Essendon have now denied Hird has been sacked.

Maybe Hird has quit not been sacked lol
Either way its the same

[dedja]

That's my first thought ... semantics.

So I assume the announcement of Bomber as coach is imminent? ... or will he squeeze an extra zero from Little's $900M using the Suns as the wedge?

jeepers If I had that much spondula I would be ok the golf course daily not p*ssing around with EFC and ASADA

[dedja]

Imagine if Geoffrey Edelsten had $900M ... the mind boggles

Imagine if Geoffrey Edelsten had $900M ... the mind boggles

He'd still have no taste and some half wit trollop hanging off his arm.

[dedja]

Hird is defiantly stating he's still the coach.

Surely he's not stupid enough to legally launch against the club? ... Yep, he is.

He will turn EVERY Essendon supporter against him at this rate.

Figjamous Incrediblous ...

If he quits he doesn't get paid out or is that wrong & he gets paid out regardless?

[dedja]

Little just held a quick presser ... Hird is still the coach but the Board will be meeting asap.

I'd guess they've told Hird to go and he's thrown his usual legal bombs, so they want to be squeaky clean in removing him.

If they wait until next week, then they will probably lose Bomber to the Suns.

Edit : when i went back there it had this in place of James Hird has been sacked;

UPDATE: James Hird will be removed as coach of Essendon in the coming days, with the first stage of his removal having taken place on Wednesday when the outgoing club legend was given the opportunity to resign with a nominal payout or be sacked.

Chairman Paul Little said on Thursday that the board would meet again over the weekend or early next week to discuss the strategy going forward.

"The board intends meeting again either over the weekend or very early next week and we will then determine the strategy going foward but at this point in time there's nothing further to report to you," said Little.

whats he honestly think will happen if he stays coach? He'll only be there because he's threatened the club with legal action. The administration will hate him, the players won't respect him, a few players would get out of their contracts....he's got no reason to stay...

other than to be an egotistical pr!ck, which he is.

The club and him deserve each other. Let him stay I say!
