to be fair to hirdy,

when has anyone ever lost their job for exercising their legal right to appeal a court case?

reckon he would have a fair case for unfair dismissal - as much as i dont like him, it seems a bit unfair.

Hird Gone: No surprise: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/james-hird-removed-as-essendon-coach-20141002-10p3bn.html#ixzz3EwsvdNtu

The club has loaded its shotgun: '...Should a legal battle go ahead with Hird, the club has engaged its queens' counsel Neil Young to represent it. The Bombers remain determined to avoid a wrongful dismissal action from the Hirds...'

Interesting to note Hirds - plural!!

Footnote: another scoop missed by Hird's bestie; Robbo

Good luck with that one EFC you will have two cases now with the Messiah taking action in the near future.

The money pain will continue?

I might send them a donation to help I am confident I still have a two cent piece lying around here somewhere.

I wonder what the pay out figure was?

No both can be right, he was asked to resign or be sacked. So he has resigned.

[beelzebub 23,383]

herald says no

age says yes

he says shes says !!!! bloody hilarious

[What 18,810]

they shouldn't be allowed to sign Bomber THompson

there should be a total cleanout of anyone that was there in 2012 when all the drugs stuff went down

So would it maybe be even better karma were they forced to keep him on when they don't really want him, and the players hate him for what he has done to them and to the club?????

Still, he always puts the players and the club first and foremost :-)))))))))

[beelzebub 23,383]

apologies to MK

Warning lights are flashing down at Rumour Patrol
Somebody threw a tanty and they threw out all control
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls are coming down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's some sneaky personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'goodness me could this be Windy Hill Disease?

They wrote them a prescription they said 'you’d be impressed’
Theyre not so glad they came at them to get if off their chest
Come back and see me later - next player please
Send in another victim of Windy Hill Disease'
I go down to the corner, I follow the paper truck
They’re saying Hirdy’s gone, he was told to go get ….
Two journos say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest, hands wringing, Littles singing a song
that bloody AFL wants to keep us on our knees

[Cards13 9,117]

An Essendon mate says members are preparing to force an EGM to spill the board and keep Hird...totally unconfirmed but would be bloody hilarious!!!!

I have been reading the Essendon boards etc just for some reading pleasure,

So far -

Its courageous for Hird to back the players

Its time to spill the board

Caroline Wilsons fault

AFL strike again

Want to donate to Hird’s legal fund

What did Hird do to deserve this?

I am sorry but if this was the MFC that it happened to i hope we wouldn’t be this blinded and follow someone off the cliff...

[ManDee 7,226]

Hird says he is still coach.

WTF

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

I don't have the impression that ASADA are at all interested in Thompson. I think the choice between Essendon and GC is now entirely up to him

[beelzebub 23,383]

The Hird/EFC fan base aka Murdoch-News must be torn now as to who to back......

Hird looking for a payout. And legal fight.

Hird looking for a payout. And legal fight.

Statement put out by EFC,said they do have a good chance at appeal.If no appeal and players take the "plead guilty"and get on with life.Then Hird wins appeal,he can say hes not guilty and get his payout and wrongful dismissal payout.

Also it would mean everybody except JH would be an admitted drug cheat.

Then we could call him teflon.

Nothing on the EFC website about anything happening today?

“@AusRulesGenius: Rumours coming in that James Hird has threatened court action against Essendon if he is to be sacked”

[old dee 23,879]

Little has just said Hird not sacked. Board to meet again over the weekend.

[biggestred 5,148]

Hirdy wasnt sacked apparently! wow

[old dee 23,879]

So the HUN cheer squad wins the first round.
