I’m sure the decision was made some time ago and the club were intent on making the announcement as soon as possible to enable us to get the new manager in place asap to start working on transfer targets as soon as we can.
Who is this bloke you talk of
What have I done?Four and half years I manage to avoid doing that and then balls it up on the day he leaves.

Few players and managers get a personal send-off in the manner Bruno did yesterday, but that's football.

I think they have handled it as well as can be expected. TB has said very respectful things.
Reading the statement, it suggests Chris was reluctant to go, hence no mutual decision.
I doubt that it gave Tony or PB any pleasure and I'm sure the mood is incredibly sad.
To suggest that nothing should have been done - as appears to be happening in areas of the media - is naive. We were easy to play against; couldn't score and were shipping goals. Something had to change.
I think that waiting until after Sunday was right. If there was no agreement to depart, then CH would have known it was coming. I'd imagine that he would not have wanted his departure to distract the players - I bet that's the type of bloke he is - and the club respected that. This is all assumption.
If things have been handled well, then I'm sure everyone will keep it to themselves.

Are these rumours a theory or from a good source? A big send off or 2 years wages isn't a convincing offer. A fairer way would have been mutual consent with an undisclosed goodwill payment.

According to a report in the Argus, it was a decision Bloom came to yesterday night by himself.
Which rather surprises me. I would have thought he would at least have bounced it off someone else senior at thye club...…… but maybe he had picked up concerns from elsewhere as well.

Absolute garbage. Be rest assured the club and TB would have been working behind the scenes for some weeks before announcing his sacking this morning.

When is a sacking not a blunt sacking? Geezer you're fired, oh ok I best get me coat then... I'd have thought they're all pretty much the same?
Yeah that’s what I meant . All sackings are blunt

I would not be so sure.
I would be confident there were plans in hand or work done on which managers we might be interested in should the need arise.
I don't think there have been plans afoot to ditch CH for for some weeks.

The decision would have been made after palace beat Cardiff and we were safe

Possibly not, but I would also be pretty sure it was done yesterday evening and not this morning. Which would suggest the decision has some longevity in it, regardless of another home spanking.

At least CH went off holding his kids following the lap of appreciation with Chrissie Hughton's Blue n White Army ringing in his ears 
Out of decency I’m absolutely certain the club will have discussed the wording of the press release with Hughton and his representative/lawyer.
It’s a sad day, a very sad day, but something had to change. He’ll be back, and we can applaud him then.
