How much longer will we be in limbo

scousefan · May 29, 2013

It's already been over two weeks. Presumably no major decisions or offers are being made. There is an obvious deadline of 1st July, but time is ticking. We have key players to try and keep.

Are we waiting for Gus to find another club? It doesn't look as though he's got one lined up at present. If he doesn't get another club soon, will Bloom have to sack him and pay compensation?

Clearly Bloom is playing Poker at the moment. However we cant afford to stay in this situation much longer. What will stop this dragging on?

It's been just over two weeks. If you got fired and your company needed a suitable replacement - it would not take two weeks to find a replacement!

Wouldn't we be better off leaving him on gardening leave whilst paying him and bide our time, a club WILL come in for him although we may have to wait until a month or two into next season if he will only take a Premier League job. I imagine Palace with their penchant for Albion players might be favourites by then.

Why give him 2.5 million when we'll almost certainly get a club in free fall after him and willing to pay something

Not going to worry until July about this, but the sooner it's sorted the better.

If the gardening leave involves working for AITC, does his wages fall outside of FPP

Hoping very soon , since plans need to be put in place. I see from another thread that poyet and tanno seem to be on holiday in italy. That wont speed things up.

When did GP et al go on gardening leave, I thought they were suspended (ie still employed)?

I can see the worse case scenario happening with Gus on gardening leave for maybe six months, Palace getting hammered week in week out they sack Holloway and come in for Gus and he keeps them up just to complete the annus mirabilis.

Oh I have tooooo much time on my bloody hands !

The managerial swap shop has started with the resignation of Martinez. I think Wigan is made for Poyet. But yes Bloom is raising the stakes all the time until he finally says 'call'.

Gardening leave is the same as being suspended

Blue Valkyrie · May 29, 2013

Would love it if Gus went to Palace.

Imagine the strops when Parish criticised him on twitter :lolol:

I imagine Murray and Dobbie would be pretty happy too!

If suspended pending investigation the club cant recruit a manager for fear of having pre judged the outcome of the investigation. If put on gardening leave but not due to suspension then you can replace that person if you want but will have to pay as per contract. It has happened to me once when I resigned from one company. Was nice for a month.

Well he's not doing a manager's job and I assume he's being paid so the terminology may not be correct but the end result, at the moment, is?

Psychobilly freakout · May 29, 2013

I would not be surprised if the reason there has been no progress in the situation is because Gus is either on Holiday sulking on a beach somewhere and is "uncontactable"

i completely agree i can see gus at wigan as he will be give plently of cash to spend. Wigan is a perfect fit for him and will suite his budget credentials. Would be a hilarious move too as it goes to show that its not about passion or desire or building something its about cash. What will wigans average gates be next season 12k?

managerial merry go round is being cranked up to full speed would expect this to be done and dusted in a couple of weeks.

Giving Gus £2.5M after the way things have turned out would make me feel sick to the core.

If Gus moved to Wigan and managed to get them promoted by spending bundles of cash it would hardly make him a good/great manager. Arguably, anyone can spend their way to success, especially in football. Getting a club promoted on a shoestring is a much better indication of true quality in a manager.
