Simondo - will James Hird still have a job at the end of the week?
I think he should have lost it already....so I am going to say NO but stand to be corrected by the real Simondo when he makes it back to this thread. He is an AFL aficionado
FORMER Adelaide skipper Mark Ricciuto isn't ready to back away from his claim that Essendon coach James Hird has been urged to resign.
The Bombers and Hird have denied that the coach has been issued an ultimatum to resign by Thursday or ?someone else might make the decision for him? as the club wrestles with the AFL club's supplements scandal.
Essendon issued a statement on last night saying they categorically denied what they termed a baseless rumour.
Hird today repeated that denial.
?I think if you read the Essendon statement, they're all untrue,? Hird said at the club?s training base at Windy Hill.
But Ricciuto told Adelaide's Triple M radio that while he hoped he was wrong, he had received the information from someone he regarded as a credible source.
