What a shit show..... The rumours made it sound like someone had been sexually assaulted.
If it's as reported, Lyon made some innapropriate comments and then self-reported. Poor conduct in the workplace, but not a hanging offence.
The victim was understandably offended and felt they could no longer work there, she received compensation. Loss of earnings and emotional distress. Fair enough.
What I can't fathom, is why they signed a non disclosure agreement. This was always going to come out and be subject to rampant speculation, which no one can comment on. Far more damaging than Lyon admitting to acting inappropriately.
If it was done to protect the victim, that makes some sense. If it was done to protect the club, it's just ridiculous.
Seriously what is going on at Freo HQ? Some ridiculous decisions being made.
