I hope the count get's the sack in six weeks and never gets offered another job in professional football. The lack of loyalty in life today shocks me.

Can you even IMAGINE?!
Get Calde in and they can start etching our name on the trophy.
Very disappointed in CC, I think he lacks loyalty and I'm sure CH is unhappy about the situation however I don't doubt that Hughton will appointment the right man, which I think will be Paul Trollope.
Would love to see Calderon back however should imagine Trollope will be appointed.

I do get the "he has or might have personal issues " I really do but to be truly honest I don't see the problem in him sharing them with us, he works in the public eye to a degree, I personally would air my laundry dirty or otherwise in his position, unless of course the club or he has something to hide?
Wouldn't surprise me at all if local lad and ex Spurs academy coach Steve Palmer applied...

Anyone that doesn't want to stay at the club.....good riddance! Why should we worry. And would he be hard to replace within the current setup, I doubt it.
If Inigo comes back for that job, and brings a sprinter with him, my cup floweth over.

Having mulled over this during the wee small hours if this morning, this is what I think happened:
- AV offer Col a job.
- Col, for whatever reason (new challenge, family, travel, money) thinks this is an attractive proposition and accepts.
- Col tells his bosses, who say "blimey, Col, you pick your moments, we're playing them next week FFS!"
- Under the circumstances, all three parties agree that the right thing to do would be for Col to serve a period of notice until at least after the Villa game (Col out if a sense of loyalty to the club, BHA for obvious reasons, and Villa because they're really quite decent chaps)
- Col understandably is not to have contact with the squad or prematch planning, and so goes on gardening leave
- All three parties agree to keep the matter under wraps to avoid rumour, speculation, and general silly shenanigans
- Story gets leaked
- Club thinks, oh FFS, and puts out minimalist statement
- NSC goes into meltdown
This is what I like to think happened. I think this is what happens in the world of grown ups from time to time. I hope there have been no backroom fallings out and vitriol, nor that CC, who has served the club so well over the years, has suddenly turned into Beelzebub overnight.

Just sitting at home relaxing, comforted by their great leader's words...." don't worry boys, there is a big job just around the corner "

Sounds very plausible. Timing stinks though.

I assume this is based on the stunning job he did at Staines Town? ( it would certainly guarantee a rapid return for JFC to the fold )

"All three parties agreed". What the hell would this have to do with Villa? None of their business. I hope he's on 3 months notice and we hold him to it.
Bruce can feck off. Can't stand the Fergie wannabe and I hope we smash them even more so tonight now
CC gets a new job 
Someone at Villa leaks the story in the hope of putting BHA off their game. Let's go and batter them!
3-0 UTA!

'Over the years' he's been here 20 months.
He wanted to go, he goes, we get comp, we move on.
As some have suggested this being a plot by AV to unsettle us ahead of the game then they're in for a long season with more coaches/players of competing clubs soon to be joining their ranks if this is how they are going about things to gain an advantage over opponents between now and the end of the season.
Also have been meaning to say to those blubbing about losing him and his skills from the set up could do worse than look at his personal managerial record where he didn't exactly pull up any trees - promoted Northampton from League 2, and Forest from league 1, and relegated Hibs.
The way some are reacting it's like we've lost Peter Taylor (of Clough and Taylor fame) for a second time.
Whoever comes in will do as good a job.

People come and go. He's probably been talking to Villa for a while anyway. The fact that he's on gardening leave shows that all parties involved are being pretty considerate if you ask me.
But I guess we should call the man a **** because we all have such a great idea of what's going on right?

Pretty much agree with that.
Hughton is clearly the senior partner in our management team and a suitable repacement will be found. Fergie had a number of assistants at United and the good ship kept on course, every time one of them left. If the foundations are solid, the building won't crumble.
