Be like Brian Potter and his glittering boxing career. Well i agree with that but jesus it's bordering on flat earthism to suggest tha Allardyce made up a story so his mate could make it to the head of the queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys Salopettes Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I’m going to listen to Bruce’s interview again ... I heard it in the car on the way back from Stocksbridge but I was overcome with Tourette’s.

Take anything you get from there with a pinch of salt. Talksport is just a bit of fun that whiles away many boring hours at work but TS didn't say it Lipton said it Monday Allardyce said it Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well slightly diff' in as much as if someone said something on radio (in this case alladyce) then they actually said it.. in print its 50/50 at best if words were even said.

Indeed so shouldn't refer to us having to reach a compromise. He knew his worth when he signed a contract and so did we. There probably isn't a specific buy out clause otherwise it would already have happened. DC has seen a Championship club get £4M for their manager in the last couple of weeks - a manager with no Premier League games managed, no promotions at any level and only 12 months in total in management. It wouldn't surprise me if he sees this as a reference point. Edited July 13, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point of view is very close to yours I would rather we get paid and send him on his way BUT He was a good manager before this came up and he'll be a good manager after its chip paper i don't hate him i'm not going to hate him and Wednesday will be just fine either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of Tourette's about at the moment....... I respect Lawrie's point of view but for me it's too passive. No club with a degree of self respect would roll over and take this. I want to see DC go ten rounds with Ashley......Happy for Bruce to go now so long as his contact is honoured in terms of the compensation on offer.

He was down the pecking order with the bookies then but I reckon that conversations have been had for a few weeks. I have absolutely no doubt he’s lied on that interview. He’s known about this for a while. Im certainly not one to get sensitive or insulted like some on here but once he moves to Newcastle this will be the 5th time he’s moved clubs under contract. He speaks well and comes across a ‘good guy’ but he is nothing but a parasite and after the money. Is this is a record for a Manager under contract?

It’s almost as flat earth is as suggesting Neil Warnock at Cardiff signed Willy Mackays lad from absolute obscurity then didn’t play him at all ... or subsequently using Willie McKays other son as an agent in the majority of Cardiff’s transfer dealings remind me, what’s Allardyce’s son do? Ah, he’s a flat earthism football agent ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no lawyer but generally contracts are in place to avoid ambiguity. The inclusion of such a term would only increase it IMO. But, as you say we are all in the dark atm.

Animis Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 5 minutes ago, Mycroft said: He will have to follow the terms of his contract. SB's contract is the key in this. After all it's 1yr with some severance clause allowing both parties both flexibility and temporary liability. No one should kid themselves that SB was here for the long-term. Of course if he got us where we want, say top 6 come Christmas, this would have put DC in a difficult position anyway, as he would have to decide to offer SB a new, longer contract or risk SB walking away at the end of the season with no compensation.
