Quite so, sir! And a brilliant appointment too. Great timing for the Spanish trip, pre-season and also great to continue the style of play. Roll on the new season!
I couldn't agree more with both sentiments! Building on Gus' style of play makes it more likely that we'll be fighting for promotion than if we tried to re-invent the wheel....
I think we may talking at cross purposes! I agree that there is nothing to stop us appointing OG as Head Coach per se. My point is simply that doing so is likely to cost us more money than it would have done had we appointed a genuine and obvious temporary only person, since the appointment of...
Yep, I have been very impressed by the way the club have handled the whole thing and have said so on NSC when the whole thing kicked off. I hope that they continue to be so now, and have no reason to doubt that that would be their desire.
However, I suspect that when the club started the...
All evidence is admissible unless the Judge deems it inadmissible. The Court would seek to find the substance of what has happened. IMO, if a major news outlet chose to report the news in the way they have, it would be evidence that the interpretation in the media of events is that GP is being...
Yep - IF the club have him bang to rights on something. If they did though, then why go through a disciplinary process? The option for immediate dismissal for gross misconduct was always available....
Yep - note the language SSN are using: "OG to REPLACE GP....", not "OG coming in as interim Head Coach, while GP's appeal is considered". All grist to GP's lawyers' mill.
Don't get me wrong - I think OG would be a BRILLIANT appointment. I simply think that that his appointment now makes it...
Yes, I saw that after making the original post. It's just possible you might get away with a temporary "Head Coach", followed by a permanent "General manager" (as I also saw is being mooted). However, remember that if the GP saga were to end up in Court, the Judge will look at the substance of...
Totally agree it's all about money at this point. I just think that appointing OG as "interim" is likely to be seen by GP's lawyers (and possibly a Court) as not credible unless OG has been unofficially offered the job as permanent. Why take 6 weeks to try to avoid paying his compensation...
While this is absolutely true, and it may well happen, if I were Gus' lawyers I would be using it as ammunition to say that BHA have pre-judged the outcome of the appeal. I'd be going along the lines of "So, you have appointed OG as "interim", eh? Why on earth would OG take a 3-4 week...
