Time for the club's senior management to look at themselves?

Geriatric Seagull · May 12, 2014

And maybe ask how they've managed to lose another manager in strange circumstances? Perhaps this time we lowly customers might get a bit more of an explanation than we did last time. And finally, who is going to want to take the job on if getting into the play-offs means you're not likely to be in the job the following season?

well if Oscar has another job lined up we might

My best guess is that Garcia was unhappy at the background set up. I did not expect this and have respect for the guy for making this decision.

You're probably right but it's a question that needs to be asked.

Why strange circumstances ?

He wants to leave so he has left, not sure why there always has to be a scapegoat or that the club are at fault.

Could be simply that he has a better offer and wants to move on, no great drama and everyone just moves on.

Just unbelievable for the players and the fans. For the second year we have committed ourselves to season tickets for the following season only to be told that the manager has gone, so we don't know what we are getting for our money. It is outrageous and I agree that the club hierarchy needs to sort itself out. OG seems to have been quite diplomatic in his statement of support for his bosses, perhaps this was a condition of them letting him go.

Yes - they should stop employing AMBITIOUS YOUNG MANAGERS. Bloom, Barber and Burke OUT :angry:

He has said he hasn't got any plans. Read his open letter to the fans.

I've read it, and it says he wants to leave. Could be for a variety of reasons but doesn't make it strange.

Chances are he has another job lined up

Clearly something behind the scenes is not right. Very poor show to sack a chap who has not had a full opportunity to make the team his own. Vincent Tan step aside.....

I asked lots of questions last year
got slated on here
never got an answer
there is definitely something wrong with the set up
one manager who to put it politely was a lovable bigmouth
now one very quiet one but still likable
both gone
sort it out please
and stop smiling there is nothing to smile about you are once again making us a laughing stock

I don't know about everyone else here, but I bought my season ticket based on wanting to support my local football club.
Whoever the manager, whatever the division, it is still my local club - so I'll get exactly what I paid for.
(Of course, that's not to say that there aren't thrills and disappointments around that.)

I bumped into an ex player today who was hugely scathing of Burke and Barber. Burke in particular, he didn't have a single decent thing to say about them. It is only his opinion of course but he made it quite clear that many people at the club think these two are ruining what should be a brilliant place to work.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Time for the club's senior management to look at themselves?
