Essendon say they have resolved the growing impasse over whether they can pay coach James Hird.
ESSENDON will front members at tonight's annual general meeting after the most tumultuous season in the club's history still with no new chief executive two months after Ray Gunston told the club he would not continue in the role.
Club legend Simon Madden will officially join the board at tonight's AGM, after being voted in by members.
FROM THE BACKLINE: ESSENDON
The Herald Sun understands the Bombers are yet to move on to second-round interviews with any of the initial applicants and may consider making an appointment from outside that pool.
Several Bombers candidates have also been mooted for the St Kilda CEO role, with Michael Nettlefold exiting the Saints.

St Kilda is thought to be further along its selection process and its board is due to meet later this week.
Essendon chairman Paul Little told the Herald Sun an appointment could soon be made.

"We are making good progress with this appointment and look forward to making an announcement very soon," Little said.
Gunston was made interim Bombers chief when Ian Robson quit in May as a casualty of the supplements scandal.
He told the club on October 14 he would not stay.
Gunston has remained in place as the Bombers have searched for a replacement.
Former tennis boss Steve Wood and former Melbourne Storm CEO Ron Gauci were thought to be leading candidates and have also been linked to the St Kilda job.
The Saints' chief operating officer Terry Dillon has also applied at St Kilda.
Essendon has continued to encounter serious off-field dramas since Gunston decided he would not stay.
The club announced a $3.9 million loss for the year ending October 31 - a figure that includes the record $2 million AFL fine over the supplements scandal and almost $2 million more in legal and other consultancy fees.
It was also fined $20,000 - with $10,000 suspended - for having unlisted players train without permission in the lead-up to last month's national draft.
On Friday, Essendon negotiated with the league to pay suspended coach James Hird his entire $1 million 2014 salary up front after a dispute with the league over the terms of Hird's ban.
The settlement has caused much embarrassment to the AFL, but has avoided court action that may have proved costly - and damaging - to all parties.
