Trying to get back to my original point..... Newcastle confirmed this morning that Pardew was now released from his contract, minutes later Palace confirm his appointment. My original point; is there any other business that would let a potential employee full access to their business and make...

Not exactly! Earlier in the day Gus and his advisors were advised that a decision would be reached later that day about him being fired and his advisors were expecting him to be fired. As agreed, a voicemail was left for Gus to confirm the decision but his phone was off, he then listened to the...

Actually, that link does confirm that he was attending meetings and giving directions BEFORE he signed a contract. As I say, I am just bemused how 'the football business' continues to act in a way that is bizarre to say the least. Imagine if he suddenly had a call this afternoon and he was...

There you go again! If it doesn't matter to you then stop replying in the thread! I'm asking as it matters to me as the bigger picture of it is that football, yet again, goes about it's business in a very odd way and I wanted to share that. That ok?

I appreciate that but that's why it's odd, don't you think? Mullin is still taking the actual training but Pardew turns up, speaks to the players etc. yet officially he is Newcastle's manager and Palace don't announce anything!

Except that didn't happen And it doesn't really answer the question I asked, does it? So, if you must come on our forum perhaps you could try to answer with intelligence, especially as there was no derogatory intention in said question. If you can't do that, then, with respect f**k off!

....has there ever been a situation where a manager employed by another club turns up at another team's training, talks to that team's players and has management meetings to discuss potential transfer targets whilst still under contract at his current employer? Is it just me or is that really odd?
