Hendo 3,041 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 20 minutes ago, buddies1877 said: looks like yet more made up bullshit. Why would anyone believe they are due a pay off for wanting to quit their job. A pay off would only be relevant if compensation was required, i.e. if the employer had behaved badly, or the employee wasn't going to another job. If he is, you could argue that Coleraine would be due us compensation. So yes, sounds like made up shite. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Callum Gilhooley 10,029 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 It take longer than that to get to Belfast Airport from Coleraine. Couple of hours at airport, another hour at Glasgow.I am well aware of that. See my subsequent posts 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he wants to rip up his contract and leave then sobeit but surely he isn't entitled to any compensation? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St Mirren and OK will no doubt come to some agreement over compensation (if due), and that will mean being fed some waffle to appease the fans. A shame it looks like its going to end like this. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Simpson 938 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 Sad turn of events. Very disappointing if true. His speech at the end of the Utd game was brilliant. My memory may be failing me but in retrospect was thanking players, his family and the fans telling? As with most things doubt the real story will ever be known by those not ITK, but does it really matter where he stays? As long as the manager has a good relationship with the players, the players respond and play for them and the paying customers (us) buy into the plan who really cares where he or she stays?Once again horrible and very strange timing. I really hope he stays. Seems like an all round nice guy who has the players playing for him and the majority of the fans happy. There really never is a dull moment... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There really never is a dull moment... 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
