West Coast Eagles board in crisis meeting as divisions over coach Adam Simpson and CEO Trevor Nisbett deepen

West Coast’s board has called an emergency meeting today over the future of both coach Adam Simpson and chief executive Trevor Nisbett.
It is believed the clear divide between both coach and CEO is now at a flashpoint.
A division on the board that has existed for some time is believed to be coming to a head as the directors gather at Mineral Resources Park.
Defeat in Sunday’s game against second-last placed North Melbourne at Optus Stadium may be a point of no return, but a decision on either Simpson or Nisbett or both could be made earlier.
Today’s meeting was called just days after the board had its monthly directors meeting in Melbourne.
Exit strategies are believed to be on the agenda.

No one has actually said he doesn’t have responsibility for half those things. You keep putting gameday rotations in there. No one’s said that. No one said he’s not responsible for communicating with players, just that he’s not solely responsible for communicating with all players all the time. No one’s said he’s not responsible for what he says to the media.
Snap back to reality.

Another great one from TBT

8:30 am – it has been a full week since my last meltdown. My therapist suggests I reward myself with a special treat. I decide to run a hot bath.
8:40 am – I drop in one of my wife’s purple bath-bombs that I have carved out into the shape of Serong. I intend to soak myself in his essence while convincing myself that today will be different. Today Flagmantle returns. My wife asks me if I think she’s ever going to be intimate with me again. I tell her not to look at me.
9:30 am – I accidentally call my son Brayshaw when he comes to hug and ask me if I recovered from my sickness last weekend. I tell him that daddy is better and he’s rewarding the family with a trip to JB Hi-Fi to pick up a TV that hasn’t copped a Swan stubby to the screen from close range.
11:00 am – get a good deal on a 75” and notice a Flagmantle lanyard strap on a staff member. We have a polite disagreement when the worker refuses to admit J.L is destroying our contested possession plays.
11:05 am – I am escorted out after trying to snatch that Freo lanyard strap off her neck. It isn’t my proudest moment but it’s not my worst. The wife agrees to chalk it up as a win because I didn’t rant so hard that I shat myself.
12:00 pm – settle in for my weekly West Coast loss session. A bunch of us loyal Flagmantle supporters set up webcams so we can see each other enjoying the slaughter. I am reminded to ensure the webcam is aimed above the waist as apparently no one wants to see that again.
1:00 pm – I can barely maintain my schadenfreudian-stiffy due to distressing flashes from the past few weeks of our own shellackings. At a critical moment, Banfield pops into my head and I completely soften. It appears West Coast’s misfortunes can no longer carry me this season. I need more.
3:00 pm – I go through the motions laugh-reacting at Eagle’s posts and supporter comments. Again, there is no rumble in the jungle and not even bringing up their 2006 drug past can boost my libido.
3:30 pm – I prepare to head to Perth Stadium by anxiously necking drinks and reminding myself of the 2022 AFL premiership season. It was the last time that I truly felt alive.
4:30 pm – on the train I see a young Sydney supporter talk to his parents about how excited he is to see Buddy play and hoping they’ll win. I tell the little shit to get a flipping clue and attempt to start a purple passion chant. I am once again advised to calm down.
5:50 pm – best 10 minutes of footy I’ve seen. The boys are back. Flagmantle has risen from the ashes. My joy quite quickly turns to agony. Each passage of Sydney play drives another nail in my emotional-coffin.
6:40 pm – I alternate between screaming aggressive-nothings at the shitforbrain overpaid players and staring numbly at the scoreboard trying to scratch off my FLAGMANTLE tattoo. I predict I am 1 loss away from giving it the 2018 Aussie cricket team treatment.
6:45 pm – I am escorted out for dropping too many c-bombs around the tender ears of young children. At least I can’t be accused of leaving early if I’m being evicted. I am not some scumbag Eagles supporter.
7:00 pm – I try to signal to JL that I’ll be waiting for him in the car park. I am unable to get his attention. I feel like another meltdown is brewing. The wife reminds me to stay off social media this time.
8:00 pm – I, naturally, take a contrary view to the suitability of me jumping on social media. I can feel that meltdown slowly creeping on. Within mere minutes I have lost control. I am literally frothing at the mouth.
8:30 pm – Although I wasn’t happy at the time, FB imposing a 24 hour ban on me for making threats as a blessing. It has probably prevented me from copping a cease & desist letter from the umpire association.
9:00 pm – Having been muted, banned or blocked on every social media channel I decide to contact several lawyers about starting up a class action lawsuit against my father (for planting the Freo seed in my mind during my childhood) and the Fremantle football club for fraudulently leading me to believe they were contenders.

With that crisis meeting story it wouldn't surprise me if Nissie has been losing his shit and having a bunch of these stories dropped and the board are sick of the shit now.
Hopefully we get a "Nisbutt is gone at the end of the year" report soon.
Edit: The article has already been updated with:
"It falls on the same day a sponsor’s lunch with key stakeholders is also being held at the club’s headquarters."
"Exit strategies are believed to be on the agenda with former chairman Murray McHenry."

Unless his attitude had changed recently I can assure you that Murray is a fan of Nisbett. He appointed him in the first place.

The West has already wiped any mention of 'emergency board meeting' from that article. Embarrassing what's happened to that paper.
