Mega Thread David Evans Resigns

[swansfan51]

Nonsense, James Hird said he was taking full responsibility. There's no way the CEO and Evans would both be gone.

 

[Suma Magic]

That statement mentioned nothing about innocence, nothing close. I'm not saying it had to, but surely it would if they'd never breached the code?

 

[LeverPuller]

I'm glad he's re-signed, doing such a great job

I hate having to use that word ever because so many numpties stuff it up.

 

[teknodeejay]

Hird demands that it's all about him.

Nobody stands in his way. This is his Reich.

Farewell Evans. Thought you should have gone months ago instead of lying and making yourself look like a mug. But maybe you were just following orders. Nevertheless one person has finally taken responsibility.

But the chief architect still remains. I hope he does the same thing. Something tells me he won't walk.

 

[timtamWB]

Hird has to be gone. There's not many people left. This is pretty much an admission of guilt.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Hird takes full responsibility...

Robson resigns
Evans resigns

** of the highest order

 

[evo]

That's some hug from Hirdy last night...

lacked the Godfather kiss.

 

[Plugger35]

It was either him or Hird and Evan's ain't no fortunate son.

That statement mentioned nothing about innocence, nothing close. I'm not saying it had to, but surely it would if they'd never breached the code?

"what's happening to our club is a tragedy."

Telling words.

 

[Jade]

Damn shame; I would have voted for him in November.

 

[Some Idiot]

Sign of things to come you would think.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Just another token resignation right?

mate - this is grim.

 

[scout]

"It is also for slightly selfish but important reasons. I have significant responsibilities to the 100 people who work at my firm. They have stepped up to the plate admirably and very capably and the business is thriving but it is important that I return, and this means I cannot give to Essendon what it needs over the coming months."

Interesting, what will Essendon need in the coming months?

 

[LanceRomance]

didn't he have the clubs unanimous support yesterday?


nothing to see here I think

total storm in a tea cup

 

[Westy Bogan]

Just another token resignation right?

He needs to get back to the firm... Thats all... No other reason...

 

[DrEvil]

Bomber fans: media claims another victim...

 

[basashi]

It was either him or Hird and Evan's ain't no favourite son.

I doubt ther is any "OR" about it.

 

[Zach Package]

Come again?

Big news.

record membership, best facilities in the league, club is flying financially.

I'd happily have him stay (I don't think anyone at the club wouldn't) but he knows better than I his reasons for it, which at this stage look to just be because people outside the club want blood

 

[myyakhasfleas]

 

[Shatterpoint]

Hard not to think he knows what's coming and it isn't pretty

Puts that pre-game embrace with hird and Hirds demeanour at the end of the press conference in a new light

Embrace? More like another shitty PR setup, but look whats happened lol, loving this, Essendon deserve everything they are getting.

 

[Zach Package]

He did oversee some massive gains for the club.
The move to the new training base and seeing the membership grow to never before seen levels.
Would have thought he would have stayed on until the election later on in the year

would have been re-elected unopposed IMO

 

[LeverPuller]

Interesting, what will Essendon need in the coming months?

 

[davesnothere]

Didn't thank Bambi....but maybe just me looking for something that isn't there.

 

[HBF]

Hirds demeanor after the game and now this - cannot see how this will end well for Essendon.

 

[15hodge]

Just another sacrificial martyr at the Cult of Hird.
