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

[Only Forwards]

Clearing the decks to allow themselves to steam headlong into a mediocre coach because they feel like they will be exorcise demons of the saga by bringing back the bloke that had a hand in creating it.

87 games for a win/loss % of 48.

it is not like he was some sort of coaching messiah before and now he's been off selling coke chocolate.

I hope they go down this path and commit to him for a decade.

Their supporters have gone from hearing that Clarko was $1.05 to go the Bombres (yep, still remember that banner) … to feeling like:

So, basically what's left are the Sheedy yes men and women. The lunatic has officially taken over the asylum.

Good times.

This is pitiful. It's almost an implosion. Sheedy, and by proxy, Hird is screwing the most powerful football club that ever existed in the history of the universe.

And we get front row seats to this big bang!!!!

Having worked to put the shame of the drug cartel behind them, they now bring it out and remind everyone every match day; outstanding governance. I assume Dank comes with Jimmy as a job lot?

I feel sorry for Dank, that guy was just a poor misunderstood scientist, who got tangled up with s**tstain of a organisation, who was hellbent on cheating the system.

will also remain on the Board until a new Football Director has been appointed, at which point he will step down following his transition of duties.

....

“A good board will always have healthy debate and a diversity of views on issues affecting the organisation. In most cases, once everybody has had his or her say, the Board moves on united in support of the majority view,” Brasher said.

“Occasionally though, on the most fundamental issues, directors who hold minority views are best to get out of the way so that the Board can go forward totally united in implementing the decisions which have been made. That is what is happening here.

....

Madden wished everyone at the Essendon Football Club well for the future.

“I have resigned from the Essendon Board as the board is moving in a direction to which I am not aligned,” Madden said.

A couple of very instructive quotes, particularly Madden

I know they're not on the ASX, but how poor is it that they waited three days to announce their CEO's resignation? It's almost as if they were waiting for all the Clarko-related stories to die down so they could grab the headlines.

Sheeds coup complete. Like I kept saying on the Clarko thread, it was all about their internals.

Sheeds says to Barham "What, are you gunna let povvo Norf get Clarko are ya, are you weak, are you a real Essendon man or not?" and the doddery old linament sniffer fell for it hook line and sinker and blew the joint up.

Sheeds then immediatley iced any Clarko play (which he knew was impossible anyway) and set to work picking off the anti Hird types one by one.

Now its going to Sheeds and Adrian with Sir James, Spike and Solomon again, just like the good old days in 2000.

Hilarious, but also well played Sheeds you cunning old sot.

Hird @ $4 on SportsBet.

They’re going to do it.

They’re going to ****ing do it.

It wouldn't be a surprise if a few really did want to leave - some, despite being prepared to play in a team with a rock spider, might have enough scruples to draw the line at playing in a team coached by Hird.

It’s the only thing that makes sense why the hole sordid affair played out in the media also;
Someone was leaking everything, undermining the whole Clarko play, leaving Rutten position untenable.
It was a maximum pressure media campaign, knowing Clarko would sign.

Sheeds basically did a Morrison in August 2018. Played everyone off against each other and came up the middle.

It'll end as well too lol.

In all honesty I’m not sure if one of us could do a better job at blowing up that joint
so far what have manage to do in the last decade?
Shift off locations too one of the cheapest land areas of Melbourne.
Actively get worse onfield.
Alienate half their supporters, to the point of chucking it in.
Alienate playing group, their Capt giving up and bailing. If turd does come back, I’ll put it out there that the people in charge actively hate the place.

I’m even going with the,
Sheedy: come on Barnham, it’s only a phone call to his manager, no one gets hurt by asking a question, no one will ever find out anyways..
Sheedy: speed dial, oh Barrett, yes, Barnhams moving on Rutten, we’re going to get Clarkson.
Sheedy: sits down at the board meeting, well this is awkward. We can’t get Clarko and now we’ve gotta dump truck.
Who’s gonna coach us now.
