Hird was pushed no question. However his resolve had obviously waned and his I confidence in turning the team around (otherwise "pushing" would have been met with steely resolve). He agreed for the benefit of the club, players, all round unity he would resign as long as the board agreed to pay him out.It’s pretty obvious surely.
I have issues with your second sentence.
I reckon, and it’s purely an I reckon mind, that if you asked Hird whether his resolve and confidence in turning the team around had waned, in private company he’d tell you, ‘fark, no.’Wonder what the answer would have been had you asked the players the exact same question
Wonder what Little’s wife would say if you asked whether Little cross-dressed.
Lolz…weird response.
I was actually asking a serious question.
No, you were casting aspersions based on nothing with no personal stake.
Easy, cost-free, and fun if you have an imagination.No. I was asking a question based on what has been said over the year James himself, by Goddard, and again on Thursday night by Heppell.
May be right…may be wrong, but it certainly deserves consideration.
I wonder how much Paul was paid by the AFL to sack Hird.
Not my opinion, of course, but we must consider it.If true you should do more than consider it
But hey…it’s obvious you’re not willing for a discussion that doesn’t fit with whatever you believe happened.
I’m always willing to discuss things honestly.
If you think Hird lost the players then say so. Say, ‘I think Hird lost the players.’
I like you, Darli. And I think you’re better than this ‘I wonder…’ crap.I don’t know what happened.
I farking know it’s not what’s being said though.
Because I’m not farking four.I don’t know if Hird lost the players…I don’t know what happened.
But surely, given what’s been said throughout the year it has to be a least a consideration.
My personal thoughts are that it was many things, a perfect storm if you like. And it broke my heart.
Again, given the level of corruption we’ve seen from the AFL and Essendon’s continued acquiescence to them, we must consider that each board member got a big fat payout for sacking Hird.
I mean, I don’t know that happened. Maybe it didn’t and it would be sad if it did.
But you must accept it’s equally as likely a proposition as yours.
And again i stress I take exactly as much ownership of it as you have.
