So he finally figured out how to use excel?

Excel released here now? Yes!!

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Loved this one on the *FC board

"could be the reason dew pulled out of the Carlton job race...

I reckon we have missed the boat on Bolton"

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

the AFL got their man, what a surprise

Could see it was going to happen.. I doesn't sound like it's coming from essendon though. He has resigned, not fair on him to be coaching under that sort of pressure. Love you hirdy

Disgusting.

Weak board, weak club. Bent over.

If we are found not guilty.

Then this will be one of the worst things ever to happen to the league. Everything that the AFL, media and majority of other supporters have done have ruined this mans life for 3 years. The Goodes saga pales in comparison to a yet to be proven guilty man being thrown to the wolves at every possible chance and he has done his utmost to take it on the chin and do what is best for the players and yet is abused to no end every single day.

could be the reason dew pulled out of the Carlton job race...

I reckon we have missed the boat on Bolton

Not sure it's going to make that much of a difference now. Given that we've done what the AFL want can only assume we'll do better with fixturing etc into the future.

One last thing I will say and it goes without saying for most of us.

You will always be welcome at Essendon, James.

 

[Dramoth]

Forced!

I can just imagine the meeting...

Look James, it's in the best interests of the club going forward that we part company.
[shocked silence from James]
Look... I still have all the missing evidence detailing who we gave what to and when... the club still needs me.
[shocked silence from the board]
James... in everyones best interest, we will give you a shitload more money if you just ****... I mean resign and everything is kept quiet.
[thoughtful ruminations from James]
Exactly how much money
[mutterings from the board as they discuss things]
Well... we paid for your MBA in France and we paid for you to spend 12 months over there... so thats going to be written off. We'll pay you out the remainder of your contract and I think that Paul would be willing to toss in another million [slight cough from James]... two million... off the books to be paid into that bank account you setup last year in Andora.
[more thoughtful ruminations from James]
You know, I am shocked to be sitting here today... I really never expected the club to turn on my like this... especially with me holding all the evidence. But I'll take the deal... I'll just get Tanya to write up a quick letter of resignation and Paul can do the deposit and once I have notification that the funds have cleared, I'll hand over the letter. And then you can get the clubs accountants to cut a check for my severance package and I'll be off to New York to start that job I chased up earlier this year when I ****ed off for no reason.

I'm still hoping that Essendon's press conference will be to announce they've re-signed Hird on a 10 year contract.

We need to #StandByHird and get Essendon* to reappoint him for the next 10 years... the club needs him.

 

[Azul]

So brave, James.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

The grassy knoll right there!!

 

[Dramoth]

Just found this one...

 

[Neese]

Oh don't be silly, what an absurd comment. You know the way we roll, he will not have to present, he will be appointed by tomorrow afternoon!

That is so not funny

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

So brave, James.

Even the Captain of the Concordia admitted guilt quicker than James!!

 

[Carl Tone]

This feeling.

 

[thylacine60]

Even the Captain of the Concordia admitted guilt quicker than James!!

"I was pissed with a girl on the bridge? Samatta wit dat?"

 

[Aphrodite]

Matthew Egan interim coach.

 

[Blue Warrior]

Can't wait to see Essendon360 tonight Slobbo will be inconsolable but will be sticking up for his "brave" hero falling on his sword.

 

[BluStreak]

I did not edit this post from the * board:


Sad if true...Thanks Hirdy...died on Caros sword....

Always a legend in my eyes, I praise your stance...


Someone deadset wrote that. You can't make this stuff up.

Geesz can't they get anything right. Its Caro's Arrow. dah

 

[BluStreak]

Just found this one...

So the rumour about Nahan is on then.

 

[Mister Carlton]

"I'm truly sorry for what I've don...what you've endured." - James Hird.

 

[goreds]

So the Bomber fans want Dew as there coach...

For the record, Dew's other half has a high profile job for a TV network in Sydney and is not keen on a move away from there at all...

Sydney lifestyle is just too good...!

 

[AlecDuncan]

Stephen Dank for senior coach. Cut out the middle-men!

 

[Aphrodite]

'We are the most successful Club in the AFL'

Really Jimmy!



#Hirdspresser

 

[HARKER]

Hird is already preparing to sell "My Story...The Truth according to the remarkable James Hird"

Can't wait for that best-seller?

 

[Dramoth]

I can't wait to see the response from the commentators over the weekend. Will they be behind St Jimmy the tird for his brave but futile efforts at Essendon re the supplements saga or will they talk about how he has almost singlehandedly destroyed one of the great clubs of the competition.

And considering how quick St Jimmy is to jump on the litigation wagon, some of the commentators will have to choose their words carefully or they will be getting a visit from his lawyers.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Xavier Campbell hasn't said anything.
