Who is to blame for this horrendous PR gaff ?

[Notters]

Wonder when the last time was the club made an announcement on a sunday

They probably make announcements on Sundays more tHan any other day, particularly player signings and things. Are you just stirring?

 

[Pavilionaire]

The jol sacking from spurs was bungled, you'd think barber would have learnt from that so surely he wouldn't make a silly mistake twice?

Look what happened at Liverpool with Hodgson and Dalglish? Or Man City with Mancini? Chelsea with Ancellotti and, yes, Spurs with Jol. Big clubs often end things ugly too, it's surprisingly common.

 

[Notters]

The board only represents BHAFC - criticising them when they make mistakes does not make you a bad fan, but the contrary

No mistakes have been made.

 

[Butch Willykins]

are you mad? I was in my local when this cam through, full of fans of other teams. we look very very bad right now.

Look bad to who exactly? A load of blokes in the pub? How does their opinion have any bearing on Brighton and Hove Albion? Who cares what other people think. There is no prizes in football for being liked.

 

[Notters]

I have no idea who is responsible for this collection of monumental **** ups.

I hope it's Barber, so we can sack him and have our football club back.

There are no ****ups, monumental or otherwise.

You need to find a new pub.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Surely he is not that deluded ?

Wouldn't put it past him.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

This is hilarious. There's a few on here that should go and support another club.

I think you will find they already do

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If the club didn't want him to announce anything in advance on tv, they could have included a gagging clause in his settlement.

"Settlement"? There hasn't been a settlement. There's been a sacking.

 

[Fungus]

I think you will find they already do

Now THERE'S a truth I'd love to know!

 

[GreersElbow]

This! Total tin pot leadership. Mr Bloom has got to get back and control his bloody pitbull! I am utterly ashamed tonight!

How do you not know it was Bloom who made the decision?

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Look what happened at Liverpool with Hodgson and Dalglish? Or Man City with Mancini? Chelsea with Ancellotti and, yes, Spurs with Jol. Big clubs often end things ugly too, it's surprisingly common.

Yes that's true, it was the jol one that stuck in my mind but now you mention the others I remember. Does that mean we're a big club now then

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Now THERE'S a truth I'd love to know!

What you don't know already?!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Whatever way you dress it up, it is absolutely shocking. I am appalled at BHAFC. There is no way this needed to be announced tonight, it could have been confirmed on the website at 9am tomorrow. It just put Poyet in an uncomfortable situation for no reason and, ultimately, ended with him receiving all the public sympathy and support. I can't believe how naïve the Albion have been.

And perhaps if poyet had kept his gob shut post palace he wouldn't have embarrassed his employers. Ho hum. A bit of crap tonight but he may have just made a tit of himself.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Yes that's true, it was the jol one that stuck in my mind but now you mention the others I remember. Does that mean we're a big club now then

What it means is we're big enough now for the money involved with getting rid of our manager to actually mean something to both parties.

I think some of the blame goes to the BBC, Mark Chapman was played for a fool.

I think some of the blame goes to the BBC, Mark Chapman was played for a fool.

He had the statement in front of him why did he let Gus say the BBC had told him when the statement said something else

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

You should probably re-watch the post-match interview at Palace - It seems to be worse in your memory than in reality.

What he actually said was not that bad, it was just the timing that was atrocious.

Depends which one you watch.
