mrs miggins 0 Posted November 10, 2014 I wonder who''ll be his replacement. I hope Adams, the board or the players are not making him a scapegoat and that there is a genuine reason behind his sacking e.g. misconduct. If not, well our problems obviously lie deeper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone roughly at Robson''s level, or someone much more experienced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted November 10, 2014 I think if it were someone with more much more experience he would have already been here at the club, the question is who does Adams know, or will the board decide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,746 Posted November 10, 2014 '' Contract terminated with immediate effect'' so what happened to the bog standard statement of has left with mutual consent ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barclay_boy111 0 Posted November 10, 2014 Don''t think he has actually been sacked, his contracts been terminated so surly it''s a mutual agreement, unless gross misconduct e.t.c they can''t jusst terminate a contract with out marks agreement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually ''mutual consent'' means they''ve agreed a payment which isn''t the whole fee due. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginja 26 Posted November 10, 2014 [quote user="morty"]That Hughton fella knew a bit about defences, time to welcome him back into the fold?[/quote]Should have never have sacked him in the first place, at least he knew how to see out a 1-0 win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoots 0 Posted November 10, 2014 [quote user="Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . ."]A pathetic, transparent attempt to appease the fans. Utter, utter shambles.[/quote]You''re jumping to conclusions. I very much doubt that Robson has been singled out as the cause of our problems. It sounds more to me that he may have had a falling out with Adams or one of the Board, the result of which being there was no choice but to terminate his contract. With regard to Culverhouse, I remember reading allegations that he bullied the Villa players and, if so and assuming he is available, we should bring him in sharpish.

morty 0 Posted November 10, 2014 So, wait.Some fans wanted a head on a stick, some didn''t. Some bemoaned that the club would do nothing, some demanded wholesale changes immediately.There are things quite obviously wrong on the pitch, possibly from what is happening in training.Is this really THAT off the wall?Can people see past their prejudices and maybe reason that this has been done for the right reasons?

alex_ncfc 662 Posted November 10, 2014 Absolute JOKE of a decision! It is clear by this that the board are well aware they needed to take action. Unfortunately, they stupidly believe that sacking Robson will placate the fans! Total cop out. Smacks of sacking Steve Foley back in 2006. Worthy was gone 3 months later, Adams can''t be allowed 3 more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
