Coach Rutten sacked - no, really this time. Could the Dodo face extinction too? 🙏🙏

[The Nostradamus]

I hope they keep dodo though. No coach can outdo him.

Dodo surviving will be hilarious

Especially after their external review which is also a joke. Waste time doing an internal review that accounted for nothing other than a board challenge

Then do an external review when the whole club will be on holidays and not reachable for interviews etc lol

Essendon and their board deserve Ken Hinkley

Essendon should be giving senile old Sheedy his marching orders. He was already many years out of date when he was let go as senior coach in 2007, it's unbelievable he still has as much influence as he does in 2022. The fact he wants Hird back just says it all!

Might have to hire him as coach though at this rate

I don't understand why they didn't have the balls to just sack him on Monday before speaking to Clarkson.

Would've saved some of the negative media attention they got.

Ironically would have had a better chance of getting clarko if they had

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That would be 3/4 of the list.

On SM-G781B using BigFooty.com mobile app

So be it sick and tired of having a team full of soft utensils

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

But they won't, I don't understand how he's kept his job. He's whole ******* job is to build a list capable of winning finals. He's job is to recruit players to win finals. They haven't won a final since 2004, he's whole ******* job is to do equip the coaches with the players they need to fill the void to win premierships. They haven't even won a ******* final.

Make it make ******* sense!

You don't understand how he is kept his job? He is whole job to build a list capable of winning? He is job to recruit players to win finals?

He is what he is.

Nowhere near that figure.
Negotiated payout will be likely 6mths at most

If he is contracted, they’ll be paying him out

 

[Freomaniac]

Ross Lyon had a huge amount of input with list management and apparently was always trying to step over the top of them at st kilda. How do you think that would work with dodoro

I'm curious you said that. Ross Lyon didn't have a lot of input in freos list management

Madden,Wellman,Brasher all need to go

I don’t think you could treat a coach more poorly.

And on the other hand they treat the cheat Hird like a god.

s**t club.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I don't see anything wrong with what Essendon has done. It's no ones business apart from them. Rutten under performed and they moved quick to replace him. Rutten completely lost the players

 

[OniAu]

If Hird ends up at Essendon in any form, their club deserves everything they get.

Joke of a club

 

[Ash1337]

If Essendon are stupid enough to offer the job to Ken He should take it and run because He's not going to be at port by the end of next year lol.

 

[Rich01]

What’s to negotiate? If he’s got a contract for another year, he’s paid in entirety. This wasn’t a mutual parting of ways.

 

[Free Agent]

If I was managing Essendon I would sack Rutten.

Not having a soft utensil nice guy coaching my team. Especially no full back. There is more to the game then just one on one footy.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

I recall a famous execution that occurred in France. The executioner reportedly taunted the prisoner by pretending to drop the guillotine multiple times before finally killing the prisoner.

Well, Rutten's treatment has been worse than that. A fate worse than death. Disgraceful Essendon.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

If Hird ends up at Essendon in any form, their club deserves everything they get.

Somehow I think Hird has enough common sense not to return as coach.

 

[SammyRoo]

Get ready for another Barham TV special

 

[HairyO]

I don’t think you could treat a coach more poorly.

The only hope is another club offers him an assistant spot. He certainly doesnt deserve to disappear.

[pavstar]

Joke of a club. Going nowhere…


Bombed out

 

[Dazb86]

Please hire Hird for the LOLz

 

[Jibroni]

If Yze does land a job elsewhere I would be more than happy to see Rutten join the Dees as a line coach.

 

[Shane Heard]

Common sense prevails. Rutten just wasn’t up to the job.

The return of Hirdy is imminent.

Brace yourselves eggheads for the epic comeback as we rise from the ashes of mediocrity and once again dominate the competition!

 

[killtaker1993]

Its all over socials that Essendon will be going full tilt at Hinkley
