Why wouldn’t he just quit? 
And before anyone says he won’t get paid out the last year of his contract, we’re not talking about your average person on an average wage / salary. He spent 12 years on an AFL, he’d be doing alright, plus he’ll likely pick up an assistants role next year. Life’s too short, take the pressure / stress of your self and your family and walk away. 

Why should he walk now? He has the upper hand in any discussions - he would know that he’s not wanted now, so he should be getting the Bombers to pay him to walk. If he resigns, his payout will be much less.
 

I’d suggest that he probably has no stress now - he’s been treated so appallingly, that he has the sympathy of everybody. Plus, he could land a plum assistant role, while he waits for his shot at the big chair again.

No way. Hold Essendon to account and make them decide to sack him and pay what is due. Walking away gives Essendon too big an out from the payout after their deplorable handling of this. They should have to wear the cost and all the repercussions that come with it.

Make Essendrug pay him every cent (and more) that is owed. I have never seen a more shoddy way to conduct business. 
How is it possible to hate Essendrug more than I did last week??

Surely a mutual termination of contract, they owe him that much.

Should Rutten get sacked or he moves on, would he be a suitable senior assistant for us as a replacement for Yze (assuming he gets the GWS gig)? Former teammate of Goody so already a relationship there.

But why do they need to sack him? Yes they got thrashed last week but he needs time.

They really have stuffed this up

Absolutely humiliating.

I hope for Ruttens sake that his contract is terminated, probably this Sunday.

Dare I say it, if Hird takes over  as head coach at Essendrug I will love to hate them even more than I have hated the ferals pretty much all my life!

I love the "forever Hirders" like Mark Robinson who always refer to the supplements saga and not the drugs saga,  so blinded by their loyalty to the red and black that they live in their own bubble and cant accept the reailty of the crimes they committed...just like "forever Trumpers" really....

Rutten aside (who I feel very sorry for), I am so here for this Essendon meltdown

I’ve identified you prior to this post DD as either a hater, or a person who is just envious because he doesn’t know anyone of any importance or influence in the AFL, or quite probably in any sphere of life. Just an ordinary person living an ordinary life in a little country town.

What I don't tolerate is fools and their admirers, I was just having a bit of fun with you because of your post but hey you obviously can't take a joke, I feel pity for you.
