EDIT:

Stynes will remain President but delegate duties to other Board members temporarily, with Don McLardy taking over as interim President. Three weeks ago he had a lump in his back removed which turned out to be cancerous and it has spread to other parts of the body. He will undergo surgery tomorrow (Source: MFC.)

    Just heard he is set to stand down due to illness on Nine News. What is this all about?

    Just said on 9 that Jimmy Stynes is standing down as President due to illness.

    No more details.

    According to a Nine news report, just moments ago, the great man Jimmy will be stepping down from the presidency of the MFC. Horrible, horrible news, if true. Get well soon, Jimmy!

    I don't have a link but this was just shown on a channel 9 news update.

    The reason is illness. If this is true, I am sure more of this will be coming shortly. Sorry to not have a source or a link, but if this is true, this is very sad news.

    He has left some very big shoes to fill. Not just literally.

    Very sad news for the club.

    There's nothing on any of the web news sites (10.48 pm). Hoping it's not true.

    Jimmy we love you man. Go n'éirí an t-ádh leat.

    I just saw this too. This is terrible news. He wouldn't be stepping down if it wasn't serious. Get well Jimmy! Fire on Demons.

    Terrible terrible news, get well soon Jimmy!

    Some [censored] on BF started a thread "stynes funeral monday" saying he's passed away, gutless [censored]...

  • Quote

    Typical channel nine...trying to break a story...giving us absolutely no imformation whatsoever and saying "more on the today show tomorrow"...it is disgusting.

    You would imagine that one of the two vice presidents would temporarily or permanantly fill his shoes...

    listening to SEN atm and there is nothing of it so far but they are playing the news now

    Jimmy isnt a quitter so this must be serious

    Hoping for the best
