Nobody Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 he is just hanging about for his money ... does he really think he can set foot in the dugout next Saturday ?? Absolutely nothing wrong with that, he's acting like a professional IMO. He will have been told/know by now that he won't be here much longer, best he can do is just to keep going and get his pay off at the end of it. professional ...mmmm Mercenary springs to mind .....in 95% of jobs if you fail you get sacked end of ...sadly not in the world of football management Why should he resign when he knows he's getting sacked within days and is being treated like shit by his employer? I agree with the sentiment that a manager who isn't good enough and doesn't look like getting sacked should walk, but that's not the case here.

SimplyAnth Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Training sessions would be a good opportunity for day drinking. Bring a couple lawn chairs; a grill. Cook up some burgers and dogs. Maybe smoke a little. Oh and a Frisbee. I wonder if he has a dog. I'd bring my dog. You seen the weather over here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Beginning to have a bit of sympathy for him now in some respects. I wouldn't walk away either, but talk of meetings for your boss only for them to p*ss you about is pathetic. Absolutely no sympathy with the doylem for picking Riviere last week and all his other terrible matchday decisions, though. I on the other hand have no sympathy. They backed him with 80 million, and he has never looked like building anything resembling a consistent side. Now he gets a big pay off for being s****. f*** him. Not like paying him off is going to jeopardise our future funds though, we can easily afford it. Fuck the club for appointing someone so shit in the first place.

We all knew how it was likely to pan out. And now Ashley has finally had the wake up call he needed. But we know it was never from the football side of things. It was the fear of losing money.

Carlito Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Gob-smacked at some now having sympathy for SMC. He's not being treated like s*** whatsoever. He was given the opportunity to thrive and he didn't. He failed. So he's being sacked. The fact he hasn't walked under this oh so terrible treatment is because he's agreed to stay so he can get the best leaving deal. I've got no problem with him being paid off. It's likely in a contract. But sympathy? Nah The smug c***'s laughed at each and everyone of you for months. http://cheekysport.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/newcastle-3-3-manchester-united-480x300.jpg No sympathy.

Marmoset Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Agree that feeling too sorry for him is daft, but suggesting he should resign now and is a cunt for not doing so is far sillier imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 However financially secure you are, let's say his compo is 1 million, that's still an absolutely huge amount to walk away from for no good reason at 50 something with an uncertain future income. It's not like him resigning right now would even particularly help the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I, for one, didn't suggest that. Despite my point...I do think the club should give him what he's due and sack him pronto. Would rather have temp staff in charge than a dead-manat walking. Yeah it wasn't aimed at you and was a bit of an exaggeration, just to clear that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 he is just hanging about for his money ... does he really think he can set foot in the dugout next Saturday ?? he should quit today and sue them for constructive dismissal and he'd probably get a few bob extra for the stress. must have a mackem for a lawyer.

Should have been sacked on Tuesday (at the latest) when it became apparent to everyone that he was about to get sacked. Having him coming in taking training as a dead man walking two days in a row is embarrassing for all parties, and won't have done the team any good at all.
