Mitchell hearing drags on

Mitchell hearing drags on

19 Jul 2012

John Mitchell’s disciplinary hearing will continue into next week and the Lions are only expected to announce the outcome in September.

The Lions coach was suspended during the league campaign after players complained about his brutal management style. Mitchell was expected to learn his fate this week, but it’s now emerged that the hearing will take longer than anticipated.

According to Business Day, the hearing will continue into next week as the Lions players are called in to give their accounts. Lions acting CEO Ruben Moggee said that it would ‘be a while’ before this matter was concluded and that nothing would be finalised before September.

    i feel for mitch…

    this is nothing shy of a lynchmob… very distasteful… they’re treating him with absolute disdain… hell even murderers in sa get better treatment…

    if mitchell was anywhere near as bad as they say why has it taken this long to complain about him…?

    why didn’t they complain after the CC win…

    always amazes me how quickly people turn on each other and hang someone out to dry…

    i back the lions and have always called for them to be retained in super rugby and still hope that’s the case…

    but acid mine water is not the only thing stinking up jodi right now…

    @Transformation(Transformation)-10:

    hehehe…

    it’s not who he smacked… it’s where he smacked them…

    the most painful part of a human being…

    their ego…!

    hell… rugby’s a tough game and tough training has always been a part of it…

    our national mob mentality of pulling someone down and then all screamin’ and hollerin’ and kickin’ and stampin’ on the poor farmer while he’s down is something i’ll never understand…

    this is the guy who delivered the CC to the union… more silver wear than they (or WP) have enjoyed in years… this is not how you treat anyone…

    lions can play great rugby as we’ve seen recently and last year.. their position this year is solely down to injuries… imo…

    if he has indeed acted counter to normal labour laws or traditional rugby lore… then pul him aside put a bug in his ear and a boot up his backside and tell him to deliver…

    but this smells of a scripted sideswipe to save having to pay him out… why would they get rid of their most successful coach in over a decade…?

    well, heard some rather disturbing info on exactly why they want to get rid of Mitchell.

    and it has nothing to do with treating the players harshly.

    speculation and reliability and accuracy of information never stopped anyone posting all manner of outlandish theories about rugby, life, the universe or anyone who inhabits it… :wink:

    @trupisero(trupisero)-27:
    that sound like a far out aspersion to me.
    even for the soap opera that is lions rugby.

    i thought he has wife and kids?

    why would he chance some naughty, naughty with full grown rugby players?

    that would be risky for physical health
