With any luck, Malthouse quits, and you have a mutual agreement on a suitable payout. I'd suggest $750k - so we save $250 which would be less than the cost to upgrade a coach to be the stand in.
Mick will never quit.
He explicitly laid out the three options in last week's 5AA interview ( here )
(1) He gets sacked by the board
(2) The players lose confidence in him (said there's been no indication of that)
(3) He wakes up in the morning not wanting to go to work (said he loves going to work)
And of course there's the implied option ...
(4) His contract expires
... And if he was a wiser man he would see that there's another option ...
(5) Realise that others can do a much better job
I think Carlton are limited to options (1) and (4)
