Id want Clarko, Fagan to have this tested in court. The mud has been slung and its stuck.
They really don't I reckon tazaa. It will be a long drawn out stressful experience. End it and move on with normal life.
 
I said 3 things would happen when this all started in September last year -

1. Clarko would start as our coach from day 1 of pre season training - tick (he is not coaching us now but let's not get technical...)
2. Clarko would not be found guilty of being a racist - tick
3. Clarko will win a king's ransom off the ABC in defamation proceedings - more than his salary at North - that is the next phase to this.

The complaints’ lawyers now need to protect them from defamation. I reckon this is a shot across the bows: “Come after us and we’ll come after you”.

Expect a seperate mutual agreement with the coaches in the coming days/ weeks.
Yep - that’s guaranteed - there will be no civil action.
 
Surely the man couldn't give his all to North while suing... he has already cracked.
Personally I think him taking legal action against others would be a lot less stressful than being completely gagged while the sword of damocles hangs over his head for 8 months.

Pursuing defamation proceedings, and for that matter, any civil dispute, is a taxing process for all involved, financially and mentally. I won't be surprised if Clarko forgoes doing so. It's been a long time, he has been broken down, and if he wants to continue coaching, it makes it quite nearly impossible for him to carry on proceedings at the same time. Sad but true.

I cant see Clarko moving on with it and then having a public role such as coaching North Melbourne.
Only thing is it won't be normal life though. It will be "half the country think I'm a racist piece of s**t" life.
Yep. Which is why I cant see Clarko just coming back to North and never having the allegations truly tested.
 
Surely this outcome gives no incentive for Clarko and Fagan to sign NDAs. "No findings against" goes nowhere near removing the taint of the unsubstantiated (and now, never to be substantiated) allegations against them.
Yep precisely. I feel like they'd need to air their side of the story but the AFL might pressure them not to pursue it perhaps was all I was thinking.
 
Yep - that’s guaranteed - there will be no civil action.
If so, does Clarko come back to the club and coach when he never truly tested and cleared these allegations?
I just cant see it. There would have to be massive backtracking from the other side to show some public exoneration.

Not the half that matter!

I guess we'll see what transpires.

It’s hard to have ‘findings’ when you don’t even complete a ****ing investigation.

Absolute shit campaigners.
