Mega Thread David Evans Resigns

[Rod Stroker]

Now seriously, how long can Hird continue to escape the sack?

I think the knife is getting sharpened

Evans has probably taken the bullet to save Hird

 

[juice t]

This is ending up like Downfall

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Before the game have also announced it.

 

[Military_man]

Do these bombers ever speak the truth everytime they open thier mouth lies come out. How about being honest with yr supporters after all they pay good money into the club so atleast be honest with them. Disrespect at the highest level. Who can remember Hird when asked if he was going to coach the Bombers he said no and what happened he coached them. Lies lies lies.

Hird had the full support of the board as well.

 

[DrEvil]

Can we add Demetriou to that list?

One can hope....

 

[Bubbalicious]

I wonder if the decision is related to the ASADA investigation?

Mate that is gold. Hands down the best response on here in the last 5 months!

 

[BornPort]

Why? Things have been going so well.

"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?

Lawyers, lots and lots of lawyers.

 

[MaddAdam]

Robson
Evans
Hird

Nearly got my wish.

You are going to get it with ****ing icing on top mate.

 

[robbieando]

So Evans lies about staying and that its just a normal board meeting
Board send out a statement that they fully support him
Hird gives him a cuddle to show his support

Is there no one Essendon will not sacrifice to save Golden Boy?

Its going to be real messy from here. If Evans had to go, NOTHING will save James

 

[The Blue Baggers]

David Evans resigns but only holds a honorary position... while hird has overseen and encouraged the use of ???????????? yet remains. strange !

EDIT: Found a better one:

 

[I Rock]

In before Monday night interview.....

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Hird surely has to be the next to resign.

 

[Westy Bogan]

He was a marked man as soon as his and Hirds story did not match about the Andy D phone call... The Fuhrer demands complete loyalty

 

[basashi]

At best, his custodianship was so poor that he allowed a scandal so huge that it is trashing one of Australia's great sporting brands.

At worst..... he may have some responsibility for actually playing an active role in approving or executing it.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Now for Hird, the players and the club

 

[Ironmonger]

Whateley reporting that Evans had a bit of a health incident that has tipped him into making this decision.

Not serious, he reports, but maybe a timely reminder to us all that this has real effects on people.

 

[nut]

Essendon Football club will not participate next season....

 

[The King!]

Hey the staff at his business are sick of picking up the slack thats all

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Wow is Hird naive to believe he will survive?

 

[mike ockerts]

TIIIMMMBBERRRRR!!!!!!

 

[Lach72]

Robinson being interviewed Monday night, resignations...big week coming up

 

[AlDemonic]

Hasta La Vista...
