Mick Malthouse sacked by Carlton, club meeting called after explosive radio interview

Carlton has sacked coach Mick Malthouse after a meeting between club directors and executives on Tuesday afternoon.

Malthouse spoke on SEN radio on Tuesday morning, claiming his future was out of his hands and that boards sack coaches when they crack under pressure.

On Monday, the club had released a statement to its members saying a decision would be made regarding Malthouse's future in two weeks' time, after the round-10 match against Adelaide and ahead of the club's bye.

But Malthouse's comments on radio appeared to antagonise the Carlton board with executives calling a lunchtime meeting in response to the coach's outburst.

Disgusting. At a time when Carlton needed to show some resolve, they folded like Jack Watts at the thought of physical contact.

What an absolute rabble.

 

[Cynic]

Lucky bastard. Imagine having to put up with that rabble for the rest of the year.

 

[Lord Rod]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!

Just got this confirmed from my journo girlfriend - was hoping to start the thread and bring on the sweet sweet likes.


Carlton BETTER NOT ****ING LIFT this weekend against Sydney

ummmmm look in your own backyard sunshine

 

[moses]

Hurricane Trigg strikes again.

 

[Roylion]

Football media bloodlust claims another victim. I guess their attention will turn to Justin Leppitsch or Rodney Eade now. Lucky both coaches are slightly sheltered from the glare in Queensland.

 

[Despair]

ummmmm look in your own backyard sunshine

We'll never let the media influence who our senior coach is.

Your club's spine is made out of wet paper.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

TERMINATE TRIGGS CONTRACT WHILE YOU CAN, USE THE EDDIE BETTS DEAL AS A PLATFORM. SOMEONE RING MCLURE PLEASE AND MAKE HIM PREACH IT ON 360.

 

[T2B_]

Hopefully he can enjoy retirement now (being serious) and get away from our train wreck of a club.

 

[Boohemian]

I can't count the number of "journos" on my twitter feed jostling for the honour of breaking the news first. Disgusting.

Like your team did with Hird?

Loada rubbish. He had to go for thumbing his nose at management, not to mention list management, poor team selection. Sheeit, arranging Daisy Thomas' superannuation should have been enough to sack him alone

 

[tonk]

See ya

 

[Borderline]

Good luck to the new bloke who comes in and takes charge of this shit club and their bunch of peahearts and faceless men.

“I shouldn’t say this in front of the cameras, but it’s very, very difficult to see where we’re going to lose a game,” Malthouse said to much applause.

 

[The King!]

feel sorry for him in the end

AFL investigating the Betts stuff?

Is your avatar SBS News anchor Lee Lin Chin with a handgun?

Awesome.

 

[Bluelegs]

Carlton staff not on twitter I guess.

 

[Struggle]

Brett Ratten is available?

In it for the long troll. That's dedication.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

If that pea hearted group of players challenge the swans this week then they should go too.
