A/ Although not official it is highly likely that Ed did not want Bucks to go to North, that would be difficult to argue against
B/ To say that the truth was that MM was washed up is not, it is speculation unless of course you know him personally and he told you as much or you were in the same room when he told Eddie he was not coping - speculation. I'd argue that if the board wanted him gone it is not necessarily a correct position and may have been proven otherwise
C/ Don't think you'd find many who'd agree that MM should be absolved on the way he reacted, if you are thinking I'm saying this in my post that would be incorrect. I was merely making an observation that he reacted poorly because he thought he was hard done by in the "plan"
D/ Nail, hammer, head - MM and the club have a lot to answer for. The writing was on the wall when you could visually see MM get his nose out of joint, this plan was never ever ever going to succeed. The poor schlep who has had to take pot shots from all comers because of it is Nathan, and still shows to be the consummate professional
Lastly, although it would be bad pr I'd like the club to come out and publicly admit fault and apologize to us - that would be satisfying, however I know they won't and know they shouldn't.
Way to p*** your fans off Collingwood
