He left in 2009 and started running his own consultancy company. It's in he link to the Melbourne FC website

Do I recall that he left, perhaps under a bit of dissatisfaction by some, following the termination of Sheedy, which, if it in fact was at his instigation was a particularly gutsy move.

MJT doesn't need evidence.

He just listens to the voices in his tiny brain.

Your a B Grade comedian, i would love to catch up with you at the G some time and have a beer.

I am also happy with this appointment. At the very least he will be in a position to cast an unbiased, critical eye over every area of the club.

Having said that, when he left Essendon in 2009 they weren't in great shape.

He also re-signed Knights on a 3 year deal, approximately 9 months of which he served.

That 3 yr deal he gave Knights was probably his only mistake at his time at the Bombers.

so not flawless, like so many who post here are (or believe they are)

Loved this line from Big Footy:

He was a smokey for the job, but he suits us, though he'll need to be a wizard to fix our club.

maybe he can get some of our Hobbits to overcome their fear of Mount Doom, or the Lonely Mountain or whatever that place is with the fires.

Good move as he is also seeing a review of all club operations and the fact that the board has not meet any of its goals set fro the last 4 years!

Renewal time coming and from fresh years from a successful football club.

Was knights such a bad coach?

At least he aint part of the boys club.

Welcome to Hell, Peter.

i believe we've reached the final circle - ice.

this guys probably wondering what the hell he has walked into

Hopefully he is the white knight ...

Maybe never.

So how was your first day, honey?

I haven't started yet!

And shut up!

Lets hope he sticks around, there may be cleaning up to do. At this stage, no-one is safe from sackings for poor performance or use of, ironically, perfomance enhancing drugs.

Sometimes I feel like the MFC is playing Jenga and it is really sh!t at it and just ruins the game for the rest of us. Stop taking a load bearing block you tossers!

Good luck to him.

Might well step in as administrator now.

Sack Jackson now!!!!

By the way, is he a precurser to getting Sheeds?

And when do hire Schwab again? We've done it 4 times so far (that I know of).

At least he aint part of the boys club.

Who's left at the club, who is part of the boys club Only Viney and Connely

As most on here thought- he was AFL appointed, or at least pushed forward by the AFL.
