Sumich signed for Freo; he said he was always a (South) freo boy at heart, how he was just returning home, etc etc.
Eagles coaching job comes up; Sumich publicly declares his interest.
Simpson gets appointed; Sumich publicly declares how disappointed he is to not have the job, an eagles man like him should get more of a look in etc etc...
I'm sorry, but what other club in the world would continue the employ of a bloke who not only isn't making that great a difference, but who has also publicly declared he'd rather be at their main rivals?
