I read that 33% figure somewhere. Was it a Gordon Scott quote? Let's hope the asking price for Popescu was the reported Β£350,000 and not Β£150,000 or we are kidding ourselves on in this league.
Totally disagree on point 8. Tony has come out of this very well. He has been supportive of the manager and this shows conviction. If this costs him his job it would raise serious questions about the culture at the Club.
I genuinely wouldn't say I was gutted if I wasn't. I don't think most people would. Who knows what went on but reading the respective statements it looks like the manager was pushed against his will. Disappointing if true.
Yep. This looks like Oran and his wife wanted Oran to continue. Very disappointing. I am glad Oran has come out with this. It makes it more obvious that Gordon Scott needs to clear this up. A popular manager looks to have been pushed out the door.
Totally agree. Ok's speech was excellent at the end of the United game. Commented on by many Saints fans and non Saints fans. Ok looked and sounded the part. He delivered what he set out to do. I thought we were playing a nice style of football as well. Very disappointed in all of this. Who cares if he needs a wee bit time to get the right blend of work and family life.
All doable with a good coach to take training as and when required. Gus is supposed to he doing something helpful. Players get a day off so that could be a work at home day with Skype if OK needs to speak to his coaching team. Lots of ways to make this work.
No but probably depends on the behaviour of both OK and the Club. Both sides likely have to behave in a reasonable manner. The soundbites post the United victory indicated a workable compromise had been reached. If the Club were considered to have subsequently been undermining OK on the transfer front or lining up a replacement manager then all bets could be off.
