“I had heard that, yes,” he said of the talk of a possible Hird sacking. “(But) they might have only got rid of Hirdy if they could get me …”
“I had no idea what to believe about Essendon. They change their minds a lot.”
Is this really relevant though? Does it really matter how many times the Board/EFC changed their minds towards the next coach??
The fact of the matter is, Bomber had a ONE year contract. Everyone in the AFL knew that.
Hird had a contract from Oct 2014 till end of 2016 at least. A LEGAL farking binding contract saying he WILL be EFC coach in 2015.
Sorry Bomber, but respect lost. Wanted his mate to be shafted so he could steal the spotlight despite that Hird was always going to win if EFC sacked him.
