[Albion] The 'Hyypia resignation/leaving' thread

[mattislost]

let's save the excitement until they confirm that Nathan Jones hasn't been put in temporary charge of the first team.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If true, shame it didn't work out and good luck to Hyppia for the future.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Seagulls are attempting to persuade the Finn to continue in charge but his departure seems likely to happen later on Monday after one win in 18 Championship games.

FFS - 'attempting to persuade him to stay'...

Hopefully all part of a choreographed departure.

 

[daveyboy1973]

Not getting excited until it's confirmed officially, we went through all this shit last week

 

[Chinman3000]

All I want for Christmas, is this.

 

[Gritt23]

A step in the right direction if true, but our problems are not resolved until Burke and the wretched "recruitment policy" is binned as well.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Just a second: that article says that we are "battling to persuade him to change his mind".

Deep breath...and exhale.

Some sick f**kers in charge of our club seem really, really to fancy that trip to Fleetwood Town next year.

God I hope this is true.

Did he walk, was he pushed, or will it be one of those "mutual consent" jobbies I wonder.

[edit]

We're trying to persuade him to STAY ??

I do not have a facepalm big enough for this.

 

[London Irish]

Sun journo saying he is walking.

Blimey those kids at the Xmas party must have been brutal

 

[crabface]

Please please say that this is true.

Why on earth are the club "battling to persuade him to change his mind" he has only won 3 out of 22 games.

 

[Buzzer]

Bizarre. Did he just wake up this morning and think "hang on a minute, I'm a bit shit at this managing lark"?

 

[grummitts gloves]

Imagine how gutted we would be if the quote later is along the lines of "I offered to leave today and packed my bags, but the Chairman begged me stay"

[Paskman]

shame as he has had no real chance to do anything with a poor squad and too many injuries.

We are losing too many managers, we need stability.........plus we have to splash the cash this Jan or we are down

 

[Lush]

If the club tries and fails to get Hyppia to change his mind, I'm imagining programme notes along the lines of "I hope you're all proud of yourselves".

 

[cocamalia]

Could the plea to stay be spin to reduce severance payout?

Bloom clearly not keen to pay out willy nilly.

Nothing in his life became him like the leaving of it.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Sun journo saying he is walking.

Please god be true

 

[Dougie]

If true it's a sad day for us
