Clarkson decision: North not pushing a deadline ahead of scheduled board meeting​


Peter Ryan

Clarkson told North Melbourne he would speak to Essendon after the Bombers changed presidents this week, with David Barham taking over from Paul Brasher, and instigated an external review.

The media keep going with the line he'll talk to Essendon. I still question whether he's actually said that given Rutten is still their coach, just seems a very unprofessional thing to do.
 
It reminded me of being back at Mazenod College and the Father banging about religious shite.
His voice is grating.
I absolutely cannot stand Whateley. The most smug pious patronising knob in the whole media landscape.

Self professed expert in everything and he's never wrong on anything.

If I were Rutten, I'd be doing the whole "forwards play in the backline, backmen in the forwardline" thing like in junior footy this weekend. **** em lol

* are leaking like a civ
I’m still running with coteries got ahead of themselves when they heard Clarkos manager say yes he’d take the call, booted the prez, about to sack the coach, until they had a reality check and this played out in real time.

Good chance that JHF and Zurhaar will be following this thread with the rest of us 😆
Dear Cam,
Essendon are clearly a rabble. Nobody in their right mind would want to go there given the events of the past few days. And their contracts are worthless.

Still confident he's with us and am prepared to be proven wrong.

If Clarko comes to us we're more attractive to mature talent (something we desperately need) and players with elite attributes as well as decent coaches.

We essentially fast-forward what has been a painful rebuild thus far.

I would presume the recommendations to action involve some new coaches to help develop our players which is why Clarko makes sense. Brings his assistants, brings his experience and thus makes us a harder team to beat.

'North Melbourne boys are hard to beat when they come out to play!'

I’d pay good money to see the 1999 version of Byron Pickett shirtfront him.
 
Why would it stop him?

He would have to been talking to us while Noble was still coach.
Not necessarily we may have sounded out his manager before we pulled the pin on Noble but that's very different to engaging in actual conversations with Clarko himself.

In regards to Rutten, given what Clarko has said publicly about treating coaches with respect, Teague (I think) who was in a similar situation, I just find it really odd that he would so openly entertain another coaching role while the incumbent coach is still employed.
