Opposition fans have briefly stopped laughing to call upon the Essendon Football Club to bring back James Hird as Head Coach.

Fresh from missing out on Alastair Clarkson, who preferred powerhouse club North Melbourne, the Bombers have sacked Ben Rutten, opening the door for the return of cult leader Hird.

Fans of the seventeen other teams are hopeful Essendon are delusional enough to do it, with history being a good guide that they are.

Its funny cos its true.
 
After following the North coaching odds way too closely over the past few weeks, it’s liberating to be able to follow another next coach market, this time with mirth and schadenfreude rather than nervousness.

Sir James has moved from $6 into $4.50 with Sportsbet. Make it happen *.

Something else from the press conference I just remembered. He was asked about the ol' drunkards comments about Clarko shipping us off to Tasmania, and he defended sheedy as he has only been on the board for a half year. Being on a board is very hard work apparently and Sheeds needed to understand that he can't shoot from the hip. I would have thought the fossil, who has been a senior figure at clubs for decades, probably already understood that but apparently not.

Oh, and when Sonya was asked today or yesterday she said she had not yet received an apology or any other communication. I'm assuming that hasn't changed. Bunch of w***ers.
 
Suppose there is huge list of " experienced " coaches queuing up to apply for the new vacancy

There are not a lot of seasoned coaches to begin with but I doubt there would be many of that small number who would be sitting back watching them sh*t all over Rutten thinking, boy I wanna put my hand up to be in that.

I have little doubt that they will get a bunch of applications for the role they are in serious diamond in the rough hunting territory.

Any coach that goes there is needing to go on the hope that the admin side of things can somehow sort itself out. They have a split board where the current president knifed the former president and they are still supposed to be a functioning board?

They will wind up with a coach that is no better than Rutten, they will need to pay more to get them there and they still have to pay Rutten.

So the * President says the club has performed poorly and he takes responsibility for that. The Board stuffed up the Clarko bid. The President is sorry that he didn’t call Truck after approaching Clarko and now another board member has insulted another club. This is the most inept freakin’ Board since the beginning of time!

But keep going. Please keep going!
 
Well he didn't like how the GWS handover plan went when they decided to go from Sheedy to Cameron when Choco was keen on the job.
That, and I've heard that in the past he was quite highly strung and borderline paranoid about being whiteanted by those above and below him in the management structure. Maybe I was told a lie or maybe he's mellowed out in the years since then, but the handover plan suggestion did make me raise an eyebrow.

Then my other eyebrow quickly followed it because why would Hird need a coach to hand over to him, he already has senior experience.
