How else can it be handled. If they spoke about it behind closed doors and he refused to step aside, that only gives the club one choice. Its up to Simpson to handled it gracefully and frankly he failed.

You are making an assumption that it was spoken about behind closed doors. The look of incredulousness on his face when Pyke mentioned it, tells me he didn’t know a thing about it.

I disagree.
The important thing was getting the rest of the board united to finally make a change.
That needed to happen and did.
He misspoke at the press conference, but I don't think that's a big deal.
He knew what the presser was about. But I know when I am angry I can tune out of the conversation especially if i feel Ive just been wronged. Pyke could have mentioned it then, Simpson wasnt listening we just dont know. I think its wrong to just assume one side is right and the other is wrong if we dont know the full details.
Borlase can cover for now and hopefully we can get another midfielder that we desperately crave. Also Keane doesn’t defend well at all, good interceptor, yes. I think Worrell is better then him

The reason why this board is so depressed is because there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
There was after the camp & tippett-gate.
It's worse now as many members are giving up watching the Crows for the 1st time.
We need a circuit breaker which can only come with significant personnel change.

I think in general the decision to get rid of Simpson this year was a poor one. I struggle to see how whatever signs he was done that they saw this year were not present last year. They decided last year that they thought he was the man for their rebuild and then backflipped this year. IMO if Simpson wasn’t the guy it should have been done last year, if not, they needed to give him time to rebuild.

Reminiscent of a certain press conference he was a part of at the Crows!

SEN caller rumour : Crows into Soldo.
rephrase that for accuracy : Soldo is exploring options being jumped by Dante Vis
Bickley : Crows should explore with ROB 30 years old.

He himself said he added to what Walsh had put in place.

An Angus Graham level pick up
The way he responded to the question when asked suggests he wasn't happy for it to be made public that they wanted him to coach again (increasing the pressure on him to do something)

for sure. As I see it, if Keane leaves, then we have Murray and Butts as the 1st 2 key defenders with Worrell as the 3rd man up intercept. One of Murray or butts gets and injury, Borlase comes in and does a decent job, he just about always has done. if another one gets injured, then Worrell steps in as one of the key defenders and Hinge can go 3rd man up intercept as he has done that role before and would be fine doing it again so we have cover

Not the way it played out …. Simpson approached the Board the week of his departure, demanding to know his status
He was told the board had decided to move for a new coach & had been the decision for a while, after a previous huge loss
He resigned immediately … the club obviously had wanted him to finish the season
I must have misunderstood, I thought the question was about the way he mentioned in the presser that he wanted Simmo to coach for one last time. The scenario you are talking about is reasonable for all parties.
It's pretty hard to stay motivated in being a member Kane, I've stuck through from living overseas to being interstate, but now considering not renewing, I think apart from the dismal form the tipping point was seeing the Crows face masks on the shop, I think the Crows have caught the Woke virus..

I’d be asking for FIFO from Dubai anyway if I was him.
Soldo more likely to move back to Melbourne isn't he? Didn't his mrs up and leave or complain about living in SA ?
Hinge said in his presser that exit interviews are Wednesday. I would imagine there will be nothing much announced until after those are finished.

I just thought I would do the exercise if it was us or freo say that were in Richmonds position and give a 'vic' media estimation of the players values (assuming they were ours or freo's players)
