When they couldn't reach him they called Johnathon Hardaway, his agent. I had also heard Hardaway told them that Foley didn't want to talk to them. Foley was due a bonus on April 1st, and tried to make this out as poor me...

He was cut on March 31st with a bonus due April 1st so it actually was that time sensitive. Now that more of the story has come out, I retract my statement about Toronto being in the same class as the Riders. It's just Foley just being Foley.

Dr. Blue Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) My first thought is that it he must have done something unethical, or he blew the cap out of the water.

GCn20 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 A couple of unsubstantiated posts by Eskimo fans suggest that the word in Edmonton is that the BOD of the Eskimos held and emergency meeting this morning concerning actions by Ed Hervey. Not sure what that means...just that it was a sudden development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 1m1 minute ago Give away Ricky Ray. Rebuild to a Grey Cup win in 2015. Lose entire coaching staff.

Noeller Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Chris CuthbertVerified account @CCtsn 3m3 minutes ago Hervey not likely fired for his football ops record.

Agreed it could be financial, the CFL auditors were supposed to release their cap accounting for 2016 this past Weds., so far nothing has been released.
