He said this on the subject of a reported deal for Gareth Bale : "If you don't then where are you going?" said the 65-year-old. "You can forget about Champions League football in the future if you don't keep your best players and add to them, never mind selling them off." Is that him for the sack then?
Barmby didn't get sacked for saying he wanted funds, he got sacked for lying about not having any in January. Completely different.
we can only go on what we've heard from barmby & the allams. lets not forget what nick himself said back in late january "they'll be no more players coming in. i'm happy with the squad. i have faith in the players we have and if im wrong, on my head be it" there's no twisting that. unless you want to get silly and say that he was only protecting the allams... yeah right, mr. hull telling the fans a lie ? barmby himself said he's always honest and tells it like it is...
Somebody is lying thats for sure but I'm guessing none of us know and can only pick a side to support, im going for Team Nicky personally v team Allam
exactly madhog, hit the nail on the head with that. and its because of that, that he did in fact lie... its now very hard to believe its all the allams fault and they have fabricated this whole thing just to get rid of nick.
Speculation. Long-term servants of the club should get more respect than this. I expect it from TWF but there are too many others going down the 'anti-everyone good' route now. We've been through it several times now but just briefly once more: yes as Madhog says he must have been lying at some point. I believe it was in January (as common sense would suggest based on the available tesimonies) and I believe it was 100% because he was told to. There has to be something significant in that he was sacked as soon as he dropped the 'I dont want players' stuff.
That's the point fella, its ALL speculation. The only thing we can be reasonably certain about is, Nick did lie at some point, when or why, we don't know. Its also funny that long term servants of the club should get more respect and the benefit of the doubt too presumably sprinkled with forgiveness but the people who literally saved the club shouldn't be. That's the bit that's pissing some of us off.
Maybe they should all get equal respect then and not just assumptions of guilt? Especially when the available 'evidence' suggests they probably aren't guilty.
