norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 2, 2008 It is being rumoured already, that perhaps Andrew Cullens (a life long City fan) departure from the club, is in some way linked to the Turners.Speculation at this stage I know, but what do people think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted September 2, 2008 Could be, but could also be coincidence; people do leave jobs, particularly after 10 years so there is every reason to think it is just someone moving on. It is not as if he has actually left - by all accounts he is working his notice just like a normal person leaving their job would do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 2, 2008 I have taken this from WOTB, don''t shoot the messenger! I''ve been told also by club employee''s that Cullen''s departure was a big shock and has everyone thinking what''s going on, they expect more admin departures. "The atmosphere has changed"Perhaps the "root & branch" analysis singled out Cullen as no longer required after setting up the excellent marketing structure, someone on a lower salary can now look after it.

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted September 2, 2008 As i mentioned in an earlier post, The Turners had the less than desireable task of tightening the Carrow Road Belt. This although completely necessary had the unfortunate side effect of upsetting quite a few people, one of which i had heard was our much loved Mr Cullen. Shame.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 2, 2008 And dare I suggest that perhaps the departure of Shaun O''Hara could have been linked as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted September 2, 2008 I did not mean that The Turners pushed him out, more that Andrew did not feel he could do the job to the best of his abilities with the new financial restraints on the department. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
still holding out for new heroes 0 Posted September 3, 2008 [quote user="Mr Brownstone"]I did not mean that The Turners pushed him out, more that Andrew did not feel he could do the job to the best of his abilities with the new financial restraints on the department.[/quote]I reckon their abrasive and looking over everyones shoulders style of management forced Cullen and others to leave what was an increasingly unhappy environment. Cullen was clearly popular with DS and MWJ and his departure probably led to the fall out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeCanary 0 Posted September 4, 2008 While it''s quite possible that Andrew''s departure was linked to what was occurring good people do move when they are looking for a bigger role elsewhere. For example, I just noticed that the departure of the General Manager at MK Dons has been announced. Possibly Andrew was being brought in for a larger role at MK Dons. As with all things, we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
