The longer it drags on. The more I worry about Amanda’s credentials and what the plan is.

I know there is a contract complication (Bruce) but that can easily be fixed if desired.

I think given the “heat” with the role and the uncertainty because of our position it is putting even second tier level candidates off.
There is no contract complication. He can be sacked at anytime the Owners want. All they have to do is pay appropriate compensation. Paying compensation sorts out the contract. No complication.

Nope. A breach of contract needs to be negotiated. I don’t understand why a lot don’t get what I am saying. I am not taking the piss here either. It’s a legal thing. If it was as simple as paying 8m he would be gone.

The contract issue I have heard has actually been resolved (or is in the process).

The issue isn’t even Bruce. It’s his team. Someone has to look after first team affairs. And that’s the problem.

In addition I genuinely believe that the negative media attention is putting new managers off.

I was told it was going to be this week buy only when a replacement is found and a replacement team.

I was also told Gerrard. But I’m less convinced about that now.

It will happen and A new manager and team will be announced straight after.

Well then unfortunately your sources were wrong weren't they? So I hope they're getting some flack.

Can they tell you anything else?

https://www.upcounsel.com/perpetual-contracts-enforceable

I appreciate this is not uk law and I’m not a legal expert I’m just relaying what I am being told however.

“On the other hand, if an agreement specifically defines an initial term but then states the contract will renew automatically at the end of the initial term unless one or more of the involved parties gives a non-renewal notice before the term expires, it would constitute a perpetual contract. In scenarios such as this, unless a non-renewal notice is provided by at least one party within the time frame of the initial term, the contract becomes perpetual at the end of the contract's initial term.”

So this apparently means within the terms of the initial contract. I.e the 3 year contract. On the basis he has not been at the club for 3 years yet and a notice has not been provided, Bruce is protected.

The event to which the contract does not automatically renew (within 3 years) has not happened (I.e relegation).

Thus he is contractually allowed to try and mathematically survive with us this season: Thus extending his contract for a further year.

So, what needs to happen is a notice is provided NOW (as it’s under 3 years of the initial contract) and he is then entitled to his 3 year contract pay and the pay for the season in which it is given notice. So theoretically 4 years severance.

I am told this has been agreed. It’s only an extra 2 million anyways.

As for a new manager, **** knows what is happening here?
 
Man, it was so good.

I had tears in my eyes at the time and I could've see any of those shots.

I have a video on my phone and I've been watching it also over and over again.

There's just nothing that can bother me now including bruve for a little longer.

We had no hope.. Now we've got huge hope and that's all I ever wanted

Do they even have to sack him. If they get someone else just tell Bruce he's now the spare manager or a team consultant anything as long as he's not the manager.

They can do as they please imo

Even if they keep Bruce... I refuse to listen to peoples **** after the best thing that's ever happened to the club went through only 2 weeks ago.
 
That Ando saying again he has definitely been relieved of his duties, he is an ITK.

Hopefully we hear tonight but we'll find out if he's at training (LOL) tomorrow if not.
