How can - GM knows he is on his way, has been spoken to & is happy with the compo - change to “he hasn’t been spoken to”?

You can’t have it both ways.

In this instance it was HT2 that was adamant GM had been spoken to & he had been given the go ahead to release the info but now says GM hasn’t been spoken to & because of this the BBC were wrong to reveal it at the weekend.

What’s your opinion on the suggestion that people may have knowingly put incorrect info on the board with the deliberate intent of misleading the posters?
I answered that in post 330. I am not wanting it any way I am just posting the facts. No-one from the management side of the new owner of the club had spoken to Grant McCann regarding his position until this morning when they report for training..
 
Okay, given you don't want people to respond, I'll take that as your final word on the subject until you have something new to add. <ok>

I’m happy for people to respond & welcome the debate. It’s obviously a little uncomfortable for some though.

Maybe that should be your final word on it & you should come back when you have something new & less boring to say rather than administering a cancel culture.
 
His attacking options were Eaves, Magennis, 18 year old KLP, 20 year old Wilks, Samuelsen, James Scott.
Midfield was headless chicken honeyman, Leo Da Silva and the glass Jon Toral.
George Long was awful after the turn of the year, and the defence we fielded for that run now mainly play in L1.
Was awful, but still good enough to get 5 more points which is down to Grant and recruitment.
Is that the same George Honeyman?
I'm not saying it was a good squad, it wasn't, but it was capable of better than was achieved. The horrendous run, including the 'headless chicken George' period, was largely down to the way McCann set them up week after week after week. I'm convinced a more astute manager would have scraped enough points out of that squad to keep us up.
Opinions eh.

Have a look how many people liked the post asking for a cut of the personal pap, and consider that only you seems to assume it refers to them.

Then sit back and have a think for a bit. You're not a 'victim' or boldly making points others are afraid to, you're simply repeating the same thing again and again. It's just boring for other board users.

I agree with you just giving it some perspective too. We beat Middlesbrough so evidently had enough quality to get points but his stubbornness cost us, and I think that may be a factor in why he's lost his job now as if Coyle and Elder were fit I think we'd still be playing 4-3-3
 
Baz's live blog which said they were "hoping" to get confirmation of his sacking was obviously not on, but was surely an honest mistake since it's so out of character with the rest of his output, which has been very respectful and understanding of McCann even when the fanbase has been calling for his head.

Aside from that faux pas, the local media have just been reporting on what is the big story currently. They must have gone and got confirmation of McCann's imminent sacking from Acun or one of his team, in the wake of the Turkish journalist reporting it. They wouldn't be saying "we've had it confirmed" otherwise.

If anyone has been disrespectful to McCann by letting it leak in this way, it's his employers by leaking it. No journalist is going to ignore it once it's out there.
That is the problem. His employers did not leak it.

Sorry I don’t see post numbers on the phone so I’m unaware which post you’re referencing.

I didn’t think the new owner would have been discussing severance packages with GM when informed, in all good intent, last November that a package had been agreed. That would have been highly irregular & bordering on immoral.

I presumed it was either the old owners, or bs.

Shut up, I find you boring for the board. Cancel yourself.

It’s not about likes. you was championing opinion last night yet here you are stifling it.

I’m asking questions, people don’t need you to protect them so they can avoid answering.

I bet you’re ready to push the big cancel him from the thread button to really protect them.

:emoticon-0113-sleep Like everyone else on here, you've been asked politely (again) to consider other board users, so you're not being vicitmised you've just chosen to try to play the victim.

Nobody is interested in squabbles like these, so the ball is squarely and fairly in your court.

I’m not playing any kind of victim. That’s an idiotic statement to try & divert attention away from your inane attempt at stifling my opinion.

I will post what I like, keeping it civil & within the confines of the debate. I’ll ask questions for clarity & to determine consistency in answers. I’ll being up a poster’s historic posts if I believe they contradict what they are posting presently & question them about it. If I find people’s opinions slightly hypocritical I will say so.

This is, after all, a message board, An online forum where if you’re prepared to post content you should be prepared to have that content questioned. You certainly question plenty, so how about letting others do the same.
 
For heavens sake, we had owners who wanted to have media coverage without using the media. The whole confidential information bit is not valid. There has always been news traffic from within the different sections of the club. The team and the club itself. Some of this is pure spin, some is a desire to make the local news media look foolish and some is genuine. Quite a bit in my humble opinion originates right from the horses mouth. And that could be Ehab, Acun or Grant, personally I do not give a ****. But the mainstream media, should stop second guessing and start reporting fact not media gossip. I stop reading any reports that start with or include "social media."
