Opinion Why does Caro hate Hird so much?

I haven't been able to find anything either but to give a bit more info.

The board suspected that Beverley Knight was the one who was leaking the information. The board made a bogus story and I think nearly everyone but Knight knew it was made up. She told Caro the info she was given who then wrote a story about it. Knight was disposed and Caro had to write some sort of retraction or admit her information was incorrect if I remember correctly.



The leaked story was about EFC wearing a special guernsey for a game. The board suspecting that Knight was leaking information gave her incorrect nformation. Board told Knight that the event was occurring in round 12. Caro wrote an exclusive story about this event. The actual event occurred in round 18.

An effective plan by the board.

Anyone know what stories she leaked in particular?

Obligatory puff piece from Caro.

Caro the Harpie said:
The reasons for Knight's departure remain unclear. She could not be contacted for comment in recent days but she is not the only director leaving the board which is to undergo a restructure at the end of the season.


Caro is just using the paper to push her own personal agendas.

If Caroline Wilson got her way every time she wrote an article or an "opinion piece", there would be no one left in footy.

Imagine if someone held her to the same account for some of the drivel that she has put to paper.
 
Great plan by the board to weed Beverley Knight out. How low can you stoop? Honestly, leaking stories to Wilson is akin to getting into bed with the Devil.

Wasn't just to Caro, but to Phatprick Smith too...

Just happened to be the time Essendon poached Bomber and that was enough to get him off to Richmond.

Caro doesn't hate Hird, it is all business. Her job to to sell news papers and she will push stories to achieve that.

If this were with Collingwood or the Bulldogs she would be acting the exact same way.

Because she hates them too. She is just a miserable person thats probably never written a positive article about anything ever. Takes a very bitter type to constantly criticise people who mostly are just trying to their best. Same goes with Patrick Smith.

No, negative sells. Most of the Big Footy posters follow her like sheep and so does everyone else. Australians always get behind seeing a big celebrity get taken down regardless of the facts and evidence. It makes people feel go about themselves to read that s**t.
 
Caro has an agenda against Hird because he's the face of success. A champion of a player, the best of his era, with a totally clean record. Never even reported in 252 (IIRC) games. He then went on to be an insightful journalist and successful businessman. Then when the club, which by no coincidence is the most successful in the competition along with the equally ruthless Carlton, decided that they were heading down a path of mediocrity under a man from Caro's club of mediocrity, they ruthlessly and powerfully intervened, and Hird was the face of the build to a successful Essendon Football Club. He led a ruthlessly and effectively assembled coaching team consisting of the very best assistant coaches, largely Essendon people. The club is clearly heading in the right direction.

The problem with that is that success doesn't sell papers. A successful Essendon Football Club is bad news to the vultures at Fairfax, and James Hird is a man who doesn't deal in failure.

Reading that bought a tear to my eyes, is there anything the great man can't do?
 
I made one of my own.
