Essendon = Entitlement

Surely, whatever happens with Clarkson, Rutten's position is untenable going forward.
Essendon have to be looking for a new coach for next year regardless now.

100% Rutten should head butt a few on the way out.
Worse and weakest playing group I ever seen in AFL.
Some of them think there shitt dosent stink.
The best thing and I'm pretty sure Dimma will be firing us up is to put them away.
A Geelong vs Melbourne at Kardinia Park 2015 style slapping will have the Essendon pensioners very very angry over summer.

mid 80's was a terrible time

Why would Clarkson want top go to a place where Dodoro picks who he wants. Sheedy sticks his nose in. Lloyd provides a running commentary on everything he does wrong. Robbo keeps championing Hird's return?

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this putrid club ? If they want to go chase Clarkson then why don't they just tell Rutten he's done instead of stringing him along ? Doesn't matter whether they get Clarkson or not coz they clearly don't think Rutten is the man anyway so what's the point of humiliating the poor guy by keeping him there while they look for someone else to take his job ?

Between them and Nofinals-ton, they just absolutely suck in the culture and people-respect stakes.

Yep its an absolute *smile* show. Their new president seems just as clueless as the others before him. And then there is Sheedy. I dont normally agree with Caro, but she is right in saying he has lost the plot. Sheedy belongs on Bigfooty - not on the board of a football club.

I hope Rutten quits about 6.45pm on Saturday, then goes and sits with Dimma during the game.

Good point bw.
Wonder weather Beavis will offer a job to Truck again as he did with Leppa when Brisbane punted him.

Yes it’s Shocking behaviour - double standards, two faced behaviour.

Rutten should just walk now.
And Clarkson should say no.

Culture-less 2 dollar gansters at the 'Hangar' ..

I'm assuming Rutten is still turning up for work and doing his job because he needs EFC to cancel/terminate his contract if he's to get the 600k payout.

What about Clarkson yesterday though. Flew into Adelaide and felt the need to text Ken Hinkley to give him a heads up so he wouldn't be blindsided by journos trying to infer he was in town to talk to the Power. Said it was disrespectful to Hinkley as he still had a contract.

But you're happy to talk to the snakes at Arsendon Clarko? Pretty sure Truck still has a contract............................

I would presume if rutten walks he forfeits the coin…thus the requirement to wait to be pushed

I've been wondering about this, too. Or, more accurately, something related to this.

Surely we're close to the time when a contract's terms provide for a coach to 'walk' if his club is actively pursuing an alternative coach.

I just feel so sorry for Rutten. It's immoral what's happening to him. He needs the right to be able to salvage his personal reputation by being empowered to tell the club to get nicked.

Honestly, it's a joke. He inherited a club in re-build mode and was, in part, given a three year term because it takes that sort of time to turn around a poorly performing club.

But, no, the mighty Bombers know better.

Why give him three years if there is a chance you'll bail on him after two?

What a hopeless organisation.

Coaches need the enforceable privilege of being able to fire one back over the bow of dumb clubs like this one.
