I know I may be in the minority here, but I just don't understand how, in good faith, you can re-hire the person responsible for the darkest period in this club's 150-years.
I get that people love Hird; he's a club legend. But he was the person in charge during the supplement saga, and we're still dealing with the repercussions from that period.
It just feels dirty to me, like we're sweeping everything under the rug.
Do they have a choice now? Any other choice puts them and the new coach under the firing line of the Essendon Hird base. It’s actually astonishing that he would do this. Again.
