Hird suing insurance for not paying his legal fees

[Muggs]

Reading why Hird got knocked back would also suggest EFC got knocked back being the plantif.

EFC may be making a correction to last years annual report in this years increasing insurance expenses and decreasing their small profit further...

First line:



Is Robbo taking the piss?

He's just writing what he's drinking.

If I didn't know better I'd say Hird is actually trying to force Esendon to sack him.

I cannot wait to read the letter Bruce Francis writes to Chubb.

Maybe the reverse. Can Hird be sacked while he is suing an agent of his employer?

 

[Armchair Critic]

Huge loss yesterday and this appears in the media today. The media take the bait and the focus drifts to this instead of his coaching

Well played James, Well played. Maybe you did learn a thing or 2 from Bomber afterall

 

[Hollow Knight]

If Tania failed to note the possibility of this outcome, she is at significant risk of being sued by James.

All bets are off. A lot of matter will get sucked into the gravity well of the black hole created when an ego of this magnitude reaches critical mass and implodes on itself.

What does lodging this writ achieve above and beyond the cash...?

Found it. Why wouldn't James go here first? It's not going to cost him a swag of legal fees and something like a dispute of contract terms should be able to be resolved I would have thought.

Maybe because he's a litigious f**kwit

Got a question:

Can Essendon sack Hird if he is suing one of his employer's agents? Or could it start a legal quagmire for Essendon?

Good question. As I understand it the deal the Sun King did with Essendon when he took his year off is that the club would not sack him until he had exhausted all is legal avenues and rights. As I understand it Sun King relied on this agreement to force Essendon to abandon their plan to appoint bomber Thompson with the Sun king threatening to take an unfair dismissal action against the club.
So is the Sun King again using this ruse instituting legal proceedings to prevent the club moving against him.

Matthew Knights must high five strangers in the street the longer this train wreck goes on. Hird destroyed Knights coaching reputation from the commentary box and now Hird is destroying his own from the coaches box and the defendants chair

 

[Moo]

I hope James takes this to the UN.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Look you're probably right, I'm just lazy.

That and there still seem to be a large number of #standbyhird types around who would be able to control the vote.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Or they lol'ed at him then said no.

Think this is a different scenario though.

Sacking Hird last year after giving him an extension, not starting the extension, and not being able to coach for 12 months provided no real basis for Hird to be sacked. Also be a two year payout. Sacking him on him exercising his legal right is not really a legal basis.

12 months later (assume end of season), payout is halved, got performance issues, and the nature of the law suit being more personal as opposed to involving ASADA/AFL.

Large fries today is reporting that the 640k is only Hird's cost.. ASADA has yet to send their bill to him, as he needs to pay their costs.

Chip expects the total to exceed 1million...

 

[sammm]

So does Hird then claim from his insurers the costs of his case against his insurers?????

I like thatone. Wonder what happens if he loses. he then owes quite a bit of money.

 

[sammm]

Not blind. How the hell do you suppose supporters get rid of a coach?

change the board. find a chairman who will sack Hird.

Its your only way of moving on.

 

[sammm]

Xavier Campbell in today's paper

"There is a school of thought, about giving Albert a contract extension..."



I'm sorry, what??

yes give him an extension so we can laugh for another few years.

 

[Mead]

Hird is doing his best to create the world's first self sustaining litigation Ponzi scheme.

Yes this litigation may have failed, but then he can sue the people who advised him to sue the insurance company...

 

[DapperJong]

Ok brb changing the board.

 

[Boxhead_31]

So the campaigner is suing his clubs insurance company, for a legal action he initiated for his sole purpose?

How can somebody take somebody to court, lose twice and expect to not pay a cent?

Given his coaching career James has come to be expected not to be questioned for anything he does not suffer financially for any thing he does

 

[Boxhead_31]

Always interesting to see fantasy land start to clash with reality.

I think Hird attended the same law school as this Mensa candidate:

A little education can be a dangerous thing, and the lass in this clip has had very little education.
