Ben Rutten

[bigwow]

Come back to the footy club that actually gives a *smile* about you Truck

Yep, and he could bring all that priceless IP from Essendon.

Mostly on how not to do things.

Wouldn't mind seeing him sit in our coaches box for the Elim.

London to a brick Dimma has been on the phone to him today.

Dimma has also probably been on the phone to Chief Benny and Balmey

I wouldn't mind seeing him "sit" Sheedy on his arse.

Would be great but soft cap would no doubt prevent it.

We have guests in there quite often

True, and apparently Rutten can't coach.

 

[DavidSSS]

Er, they've already sacked him.

Easy to say with hindsight, Wasn't reported when I was writing this, and, gee, turns out I was right.

Depends on the terms of his severance agreement as to whether we’d have to pay him full tote.

But just think of the irony in returning to Richmond. Essendon having viciously done Knights and now Rutten.

Anyway, whatever occurs with his immediate future, Rutten can take comfort in the fact he’s receiving half a million probably not to coach Essendon in 2023.

You’re now in safe waters Truck.

All the very best and stay ahead of the pack.

I know what Essendon said and what Rutten said at his presser, but I think he was told yesterday that he was sacked. Body language, facial expressions, the interaction with the Tigers at the end of the game, it all had the look of someone who’d been told they were gone.

It wasn't reported when you started your post but he was announced sacked by the time you finished it.

yep. he was a mess in the change rooms, family getting around him. and Heppel was cagey

 

[Legends of 2017]

I wonder if he would come to us and work for nothing, or say a nominal $1 wage, since it would mean the druggies would have to pay him his contract out. He would be sticking it up them by working at a successful opposition club and giving them the proverbial finger, while helping the club out with its soft cap

Exactly the scenario I was going to suggest. But you beat me to it.

And apparently Barham, Sheedy and co. were nowhere near the changerooms after the game.

And very well mannered and nice of you to point this out, I'm sure it was necessary.

Gutless, if you are going to shaft someone at least do it to their face.
