Former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire is led to believe, barring a last-minute change of heart, Adam Simpson will be sacked by the West Coast Eagles this week.
Speaking on Nine's Eddie and Jimmy podcast, McGuire addressed the footage shown exclusively on 9News of the West Coast Eagles' board meeting over the weekend.
"Not the full board, but the board came over. They usually come over once a year for a meeting in Melbourne," he said.
"My understanding of it was to just completely nut out the separation and the payments and everything.
"The club is very adamant that he does go unless there is a last-minute switch."
The Eagles released a cryptic statement on Monday to seemingly quash the sacking rumours.
"The West Coast Eagles board met this morning for an informal discussion at the home of chairman Paul Fitzpatrick," the club wrote in a statement.
"The club remains firm on its position that no decisions have been made around the future of any staff members and that none of those key decisions will be made until after the season."
MORE TO COME.
