IMHO it is precisely because the club want to move things along that they scheduled the meeting for today, rather than, say, Friday. They knew Gus would delay, but at least the delay is to later this week, rather than well into next. Well-played by the club IMHO. They also had to conduct a full...

And the LMA's wasn't posturing!? Really!?

I'm relying on, what, 5-week-old info from a good source close to the top of our club. Source since (rightly) closed info tap. BUT I expect Gus to be toast pretty soon after Thu IF my source is correct.

This I understand. To me both parties are trying to paint the best picture possible for their respective cases, but I don't see either taking the other on in court over what was written today.

Read the club statement carefully. It says "However, Gus Poyet elected not to attend for disputed legal reasons." The reasons were legal and disputed. So where's the problem?

Again, many assumptions there, including Paul Barber now running the club rather than Tony Bloom, and the club lacking professionalism because they have chosen to suspend 3 employees, including a key one, and conducted an investigation.

Thank you. That is all I needed to know, since I am pretty sure they have him by the short and curlies.

Yes, but the club adjourned the meeting to Thu, as suggested by the LMA, so what is the problem here?

Another LMA expert! I've read that LMA statement several times and see NOTHING that the club need to worry about. But, as I say, I'm not a lawyer. So do tell.

Really? And how do you come to that conclusion?

And the club's one.

OK, specifically what bit should the club be worried about?

Why are you so dismayed by the LMA statement? Doesn't seem very damaging to the club to me (but I'm no lawyer).

Of course they want that.

I was facetiously replying to another poster who suggested that Gus can have his holiday because he has lawyers / the LMA to fight his case.

Yes, that much I understand. My (genuine) question is... say the club tell Gus that they have gathered evidence (by full investigation), considered the evidence carefully, and have decided to dismiss him, at his hearing on Thursday, can they then appoint a new manager on Friday, without further...

No it doesn't. The club and Gus are in dispute and both parties using every angle they can to make themselves look better, and their 'opponent' worse. Welcome to the real world. Personally, I support the club, but you carry on supporting Gus & Hove Albion if you like.

Seriously, you need to calm down. The LMA and club have released a statement. The club's statement is brief, but does not include a lie, sorry 'mis-truth'. The LMA statement is more detailed, making claims of a strong case without, apparently, having read and digested the club's report. Far be...

Or a club trying to move things along as quickly as possible whilst ensuring the investigation is full and fair.

Believe me, Gus has turned many fans against himself all on his own.
