Suns must pay for Eade, says McGuire

[Zerg]

EDDIE McGuire has vowed Collingwood won't sign off on Rodney Eade's move to Gold Coast unless the Suns compensate the Magpies for their loss.

Eade remains contracted as Collingwood football manager to the end of 2016 and McGuire told News Ltd the Magpies could have to pay a premium to replace Eade, which would then trigger further costs under the AFL's new football department tax.

"There will be no deal unless we are compensated. There is now a salary cap on administrations and I won't be paying overs for a replacement," McGuire said.

* Eddie and * Collingwood.

Where is our compensation for Phil Walsh. Oh that's right, we have a pair, moved on and got Michael Voss.

If Collingwood is the powerhouse Eddie still thinks they are, they will have candidates beating down the door.

**** Eddie and **** Collingwood.

Holy s**t this is ironic.

 

[PowerForGood]

Good point.

Eddie please do all the heavy lifting, then Port Adelaide can pick up the costs to cover Voss's salary to replace Walsh.
We paid over because Voss was on a hefty pay cheque from the Fox Footy reality show The Recruit, which he was being paid by the producer of the show which was Eddie McGuire, who was being paid by the funds coming out of the AFL, which is partially funded by fines for exceeding the salary cap on administration.
So Eddie would be basically receiving his own club's fine. Could even be considered money laundering.

Or.....

Just be quiet Eddie.

Does a Football Manager earn more than a Head Coach? I'm willing to think not. If that's the case, then I can't see how Collingwood can prevent Eade from moving to a higher paying gig under Restraint of Trade laws. People get better offers and leave. In the real world, it happens all the time.

 

[MinerBoy]

Shut up Eddie.

You'll get a cheaper replacement anyway and be financially better off.

Either way though - stfu. People take better offers/promotions. Get over it.

 

[mottrain]

Didn't Eddie have this backfire in regards to Malthouse?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Eddie is aware that you can't own people right? He needs to realise that Collingwood isn't a Virginian cotton plantation circa 1810.

 

[Demon 16]

STFU Eddie you tosspot.

 

[Sherrinator]

Collingwood is definitely this years sinking ship. Needs a good clean out top to bottom just like Brisbane has.

 

[master bate]

Hate to admit it but Eddie's right.

Eade is a contracted employee being poached in the last week of the league year after most of the employees swapping jobs have already happened. Collingwood are disadvantaged by Gold Coast's delay in finding a new coach.

Collingwood deserve compensation for having to run a job search and possibly relocate a new employee just so they can do a favour to the Gold Coast and to Eade personally.

St Kilda and Port set a precedent for this last year. A low 5 figure sum around 20k should be acceptable. Eddie's dreams of 6 figures are not realistic. But hey aim high.

 

[sherb]

I presume McGuire then wouldn't have an issue forking out $$$ in the future if the shoe is on the other foot?

 

[Kappa]

How come every Eddie thread a bunch of geniuses have to come in and abuse Eddie and offer absolutely no opinion on the matter he is discussing

Grow up

The new tax on football department spending has changed the landscape.

I kinda see the point and definitely agree that 400k is taking the piss 5 times over.

Isn't there a bit of swings and roundabouts about all this though? One year you are copping it as a result of the "gentleman's agreement" on not holding employees back from superior roles, and the next year you are benefiting from it. Bit of a recurring theme with Ed that he will happily accept all the benefits that flow Collingwood's way but throws the toys out the cot when they are ever even mildly disadvantaged.

Essendon took our list manager halfway through the year when we were in the midst of trying to re-sign key players. s**t happens.

 

[lyall]

If only Rodney Eade was an angry Arnold Schwarzenegger saying this to Eddie Mcguire

Believe Richardson had a clause in his contract about a senior coaching position.
Eade doesn't.

Grow up

Because he's a complete and utter tool and thinks his s**t doesn't stink?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

How cute

 

[ManWithNoName]

What compensation did Eddie give WC when he poached Malthouse who was under contract?

Flog.

 

[piesaregreat]

So we have to pay for Eades replacement and pay a tax on it to the AFL because of the cap on football dept spending.
And the PA supporters are outraged yet demanded money for their club


"Port Adelaide made a similar compensation claim when St Kilda signed contracted Power coaching director Alan Richardson as its senior coach after last year's trade period.

Port initially claimed $150,000 from the Saints"

 

[Donakebab]

**** Eddie and **** Collingwood.

Woah there turbo, might want to check your history before blowing a gasket. Port demanded $150,000 compensation from St Kilda when they appointed Richardson as head coach. They ended up receiving $20,000, the majority of which was paid to GWS as reperations for poaching Shaun Hart.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Most of these guys have a clause in their contract that they can terminate if offered a senior coaching job elsewhere. Not sure about Eade.

 

[FuManchu]

Collingwood should be able to claim advertising costs, administrative cost for searching for a new manager and also any extra wealth tax costs.

Every club should be able to claim these costs of staff are poached.

Or at a minimum, the AFL should waive the wealth tax that's imposed if personnel move on.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

People like you are too stupid to see the bigger picture here.
Eddie successfully brought down the COLA and as a result your club has a better chance at success.
But you are too stupid to think laterally.

Get off it, Eddie having a dig at the cola every 5 minutes isn't why it's being fazed out. It's being fazed out because it's complete rubbish. Eddie is a power hungry tool who thinks Collingwood deserve special treatment, when in reality they don't.
