Certified Legendary Thread Sympathy for *essendon II - over 6500 days since EFC won a final / AC signs w NM, EFC implode / RIP D2D and T_S

[see see]

All set up for Jimmy. If their not split down the middle now, they soon will be.

Does that mean the frozen water salesman is coming back? Look at Hird's record when Bomber was in the coach's box pulling the strings (finals*) vs Bomber not being there (2-11, got the arse). Hird is a bog average coach.

 

[Ischenko]

Why do their Presidents always look like rejected applicants to play Emperor Palpatine?

The male pale and stale is strong here.

 

[Wild Bill]

Hirds son is on the list. How does that even work

Everyone gets injected except his son.

Because it’s not safe.

Ha, like Turds not going to have a champion son…

 

[Better Loosen Up]

"Truck" Rutten officially sacked

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Any guesses how many days before Hird is offically mentioned as a possible candidate as head coach for *?

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

Officially gone.

What a way to treat someone

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lol rutten sacked bombers will have to pay him out

 

[DesertRoo]

Only bloke there who can walk out holding head high.. shit stain organisation.

 

[gokangas]

Don't often feel sorry for failed coaches but Rutten has been treated deplorably.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

White-anted their coach.

Sacked him.

Missed out on their target.

Shambles.

Jon Ralph just did.

 

[The Nostradamus]

600k thrown away lol

 

[Chadwiko]

Copying what I wrote on Twitter;

I would legitimately love him as an assistant under Clarko, purely for his skills/experience as a coach. The fact that it would troll the shit out of Essendon is just a delightful bonus.

 

[Devington]

A very entertaining shitshow, with the exception being Rutten's treatment. Publicly put his head on the chopping block, ignored him for a couple of days, failed to get their target, announced an external review, made him coach the team on the weekend, and of course to top it off they sack him before the review even has a chance to start.

Dysfunctional doesn't even begin to describe it.

If it's true it's unbelievable. If it was the plot in Goddards movie I would have walked out by now. Fanciful nonsense.

How’s doing a review of the football department, when they’re all on holidays..

 

[Ruckle]

Slobbo did days ago didnt he?

 

[Lomas]

Slobbo did days ago didnt he?

Yep, and his Hird's favourite mouthpiece. Sheedy all but said it earlier in the week too.

-181 days

 

[Devington]

“We will thoroughly and diligently consider our next steps and in due course, will communicate the process of our next senior coach appointment.”

Either this is an "oh god oh **** what have we done and what do we do" moment or else they really are manoeuvring for Hird. I can't see any middle ground.

 

[Wild Bill]

I’ll be here all year William, win, lose or draw, I’d like to think you will too but we both know that won’t happen, you’re too weak for that, proven squib.

Rutten and halfwithero sacked on the same day!!! How sweet.

 

[Only Forwards]

Hirds son is on the list. How does that even work

Such conflicts are overlooked unless it’s us.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Must be somewhat of a relief to be out of that toxic hole of a club for the poor bloke.

Geezer central on the board and they are so out of touch, it makes you wonder who is putting their hand up to work there?

 

[Frank Thring]

They just keep making poor decisions after another. Gold
