I can only assume the club has forced him out the door, which they said was not the case, I have probably missed something here, but what is the overall reason that he does not want to continue with the swans?
    Dont know - but best not to open the can of worms and differences of opinion on the matter again- it does cause a bit of tension on this board - so I guess, as far as my beloved Baz is concerned, its time to move on.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

      He was clearly pushed. IMO they just set the press conference up, so both parties came away looking as good as they possibly could.

        He knew he'd lost the trust of the club, whether they pushed him or not. It would have been foolish to stay. He may have just read the play well and decided that leaving would be the best option, without the club actually telling him to go.
        Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

          Heard Ray McLean speak today who is the consultant who was the architect of the "bloods code" and is still involved with the swans

          When asked about Hall he said that the hit on Rutten was the final straw for the playing group.

          Hall faced the leadership group who asked him if he could guarantee that he wouldn't do it again which he said he couldn't. He then went away for a few days and came back with the decision to leave the swans

          Apparently Kirk was a key driver of the process.

            David Smorgon declared the dogs would be trading aggresively, and a bog forward is on the agenda, which it has been for the past 4 years. Said they would consider all options, and Hall is one of them.

                That's the impression I've always had, that he was pretty much forced to leave.
                And he handled it all perfectly.
                Obviously, it becomes evident WHY he handled it all so well, with his intention of playing on next season with another club.

                              Maybe he'll name the Dogs as his preferred club

                                He said 0.5 on a scale of 0 to 1, to which Aker replied 'you always round the 0.5s up'. Aker seems really keen on the idea.

                                He didn't reveal anything that we haven't heard before. His manager is certainly earning his keep getting him on all these shows.
