  1. Consultants are hired to provide a fancy justification to a decision you have already made but not announced (except to the consultant)

    Its more democratic that way

    Exactly right. Most decisions in businesses, even big decisions, are essentially made on "gut feel", "experience" and "instinct". Getting the official research or expert consultant in is a way for a business to have a formal justification or research to back up the decision they were going to make anyway. Depending on the type of business and it's stakeholders it can be a necessity.

  2. From the outside looking in (pretending that you're not in this situation is very amusing) I would find it odd if:

    (1) Hawthorn didn't offer Clarkson a new contract;

    (2) Clarkson didn't sign a new contract with Hawthorn; and/or

    (3) Clarkson signed for Melbourne, given I think (1) and (2) are very likely.

    By the way, why do people say that coaches like Eade and Sheedy were "sacked" by their clubs?

    You have a three-year contract. Those three years are up. Club does not offer a new contract. Who got sacked?
