Hird has threatened to sue the scum if they sack him?

What a week. B2B, flogging the swans, efc disintegrating, Hird being sacked, Hird suing the club, Robinson paid $800k by efc to keep him quiet! Boy, I must have died and gone to heaven.

Edit to add:

While all other clubs are concentrating on trade week EFC is embroiled in eating their own. Wow!!!

I imagine Hird would sue for irrevocable loss of future income on the basis that his ability to earn anything near the amount he is on in the future is shot to pieces. This, of course, would be a huge amount of money. He does have strong legal people on his side.

Is this serious or hypotheticals?

If this is serious, allow me to laugh now - :D.

If this is not serious, well at least I already laughed.

WTF is Hird doing? The Federal Court finding was the most comprehensive loss Essendon and Hird could imagine. If he really wants to piss a couple hundred thousand large up the wall I will drive over to his house and collect it personally.

You might actually believe you are right, you might actually believe it is the right thing to do, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE.

Who is advising this guy?
What's the bet Hird's lawyer ends up owning his house?

Tania and her notes.
It might even come with a stenographer ....

Purely hypothetical but could be the reason the board stalled today. Despite Hird's players first rhetoric I personally feel that his fight has been as much about his future knowing that if he loses this he will never be able to earn anywhere near the money he is on. This is a big hit on a bloke with big aspirations and lifestyle choices. I also think this is why Mrs Hird has also been very prominent in all this. They are threatened meaning they could be "banished" to a middle class lifestyle. I saw it happen to a friend a few years back when his wealth and lifestyle were threatened. You would be amazed at what a person you thought you knew is capable of and how many relationships they are prepared to destroy in the process.

Yeah, either that or skip the middle class and end up on the street after losing the case.

Can anything Hird say be believed? He is a f*cking liar. Here is his tatement from this morning...

"I am requesting expedition of this appeal and will not ask for a stay of the notices. The players and ASADA will be able to continue with the show cause process whilst a full court deals with the legality of the investigation.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-02/statement-from-james-hird

Here is what he actually asked the court to order in his appeal submission delivered to the court minutes earlier...

What an absolute and utter lying prick.

I think he meant interim stay of notices whilst the permanent stay is heard.

Maybe giving him another 24 hours whilst the board finalise their position. Or put more succinctly, Hird today, gone tomorrow?
I don't know about that. The Essendon Board is spineless. Their CEO is an unashamed Hird fanatic, that's how he got the job in the first place. Only at Essendon could a paid employee of the club blatantly disregard the directions of their employer and not be sacked.

They may as well announce the change of club name to James Hird Football Club, appoint Hird as President as well as Coach, but retain the jellyfish of a board who won't dare to question anything Hird does.

Also, I think the time has come for the AFL to grow some balls and, with the support of the other 17 clubs, start issuing some ultimatums to Essendon. Surely we cannot just allow the competition to roll on year after year with Essendon in and out of the courtroom. It is beyond a freaking joke.

Legal academic interviewed on the radio (PM program on ABC) said very unlikely that ASADA would proceed while the Federal Court was underway. Also indicated it would be very 'unwise' for the Board to terminate Hird while the proceedings were being heard, potentially opens them up to litigation. Probably the best they can do is to suspend him on full pay pending the hearing, and sack him once its over (regardless of the outcome).

Just wanna make two points.

- Little should've announced Hird's sacking at half time during the GF, the roar would've been HUGE.
- I almost feel sorry for Essendon, Bomber said he'll only stay if he's senior coach - their first two choices for the gig are only out for themselves.

I couldn't agree more. High time Fitzpatrick reminded Essendon who runs this league and who decides on matters that adversely affect its image.

As long as he's in charge, the EFC will continue to be divided

As long as they are divided this doesn't go away, and in turn, we laugh at heir misfortune
It's a win/win situation at the moment. If they sack him they'll be divided as well. I just wish Sheedy was involved, for Yabbies sake.
