Guest LucaAltieri Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've no idea why Bond was sacked, tbh. The Panorama thing seemed like a smokescreen at the time. Maybe he was just a wanker? I have also thought it may have been just a fortunate excuse, we didn't waste much time over it! Possibly. If he's been good at his job would we have clung on to him anyway? Probably. Anyway, if I remember right there was more incriminating stuff from Bond than Allardyce. Allardyce may have just had an arsehole for a son, whereas Bond seemed to imply that he personally (and 'arry) would take the cash if there was any going. There was nothing so clearcut that could be pinned on Allardyce snr himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Come to think of it, I would love to see Bond come and complain about the hefty wages he got paid at Newcastle for being Roeder's mate while squawking like a parrot on Panorama about shady dealings. I would indeed like to see him explain who was morally bankrupt in this case... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Bond was the only figure on the Panoram coverage openly discussing the sweeteners that he and Harry were going to get. Freddy Shepherd requested to see all the unedited coverage prior to the documentary being shown, and he must have been satisfied with what he had seen that there was a case against Bond.

Guest Toon83 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Kevin Bond was sacked because he was shite and did absolutely nothing for the club, ala Terry Mac. Freddy was looking for an excuse to get rid of him and this was the perfect excuse Just a case of jelousy on the part of Bond, big Sam will be cleared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaehyun Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Allardyce should appoint him as one of his backroom staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta_Toon Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 IIRC the club officially gave no statement whatsoever about Bond's termination (less than two lines on the official site) and this was precisely because any reason given would have given Bond a great case against the club, and as it was, he was within the period when you don't have to give any reason for letting someone go.
