Well I think this Herald Sun article with quotes from MM's manager puts to rest all these rumours...

""Michael will be finishing up his duties at Collingwood. He has given the club his absolute best and leaves it in a much better place than when he found it.

"It is now my intention to speak to media outlets about his immediate future.

"We have always said that Michael won't be coaching anywhere else next year."

Quizzed about the prospect of Malthouse returning to coaching in 2013, Sidwell said: "We haven't thought beyond next year."

Five clubs inquired about Malthouse's availability this season.

Malthouse, 58, will travel to Europe this month for a four-week holiday before finalising TV, radio and newspaper deals.

The three-time premiership coach is expected to sign with Channel 7 and 3AW."

I haven't used this term in a long time but he really is a douchebag of the highest order!
Is there an official pecking order?

Does that make him a Royal Douchebag? Sir Douchebag?
Lord Baron Von Douchebag?
Michel Douchehouse?

my worry is that like Ross he had a great game plan that saw him lift a team of a few stars and a smattering of GOPs to higher heights. Once a couple of seasons passed that game plan was worked out and he didn't have a fall back.

Eade might even be a better option in that his extra couple of months free of a team let him analyse and re boot with an added game style. Just putting it out there, the Malthouse style may be gone and he is too old to come out with anything new? Not sure there is anything like a sure bet in footy but he is the most successful coach premierships wise available.

I'm not so sure Malthouse is all with it. The bloke has a screw loose at times.

He is morphing into Sheedy, probably why the Big ed wanted him out...

thing is, most GOOD coaches do.

But I don't think he is the right fit.

While I respect the guy's longevity, surely this year has proven the adage that class ON THE FIELD above all wins flags. For all the talk of presses and strategies and all the hooplah that everyone goes on about, the side that without doubt is top to toe balls out talent with a liberal dose of ruthless physicality has come up trumps more often than not.

By all means get a strong disciplined personality at the helm but surely the key is giving him a support crew who can make turn our average into above average and our good into excellent.

It seems to me that No is the new Yes in the AFL.. James Hird said no to coaching Essendon, Bomber Thompson said no to Essendon also, Ross Lyon said he had a contract till the end of 2012, Tom Scully, Gary Ablett, Callan Ward, get my drift??

I wouldn't believe a word of what is said in the media by coaches, players or managers at the moment unless it is confirmed by the club involved.

I have actually heard this Malthouse rumour from alot better sources than the media... I still will not totally believe it until St Kilda announces it.

There are some very weird situations currently going on that would suggest that this rumour shouldn't be too far off the mark..

Why has Rodney Eade talked up that the saints approached him and then take a job at collingwood? Why has betting been suspended at all of the betting agencies? Why did Malthouse quit on grand final day? Why did he look like a man that would show everyone he wasn't ready to finish coaching? All very interesting questions...

Until we get confirmation, unfortunately everything we hear about footy is all just rumours and innuendo... Sometimes it is spot on, sometimes it not...

Malthouse is currently on SEN saying there is no way he will be involved with another club.

Saints 2012 · Mon 03 Oct 2011 8:44am

no way Malthouse will come to St Kilda, no way

Another club that he hasn't been involved with already or another club period?

"No. I don't think I will ever coach again," - Mick Malthouse on 3AW this morning.

Dont know how many times he needs to say it to stop the rumours.

Well it's hard to completely stamp out these rumours when there is a sniff in the air.

After all, I've heard you are on Mick's table on Saturday night

Does anyone think Malthouse looks like the bad guy with the beret in the early version of Where in the world is Carmen Diego?
