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.

Nope,you'll post what is appropriate for the board, with due consideration for other users.

For all your attempts to claim I'm quick to delete/cancel etc, you need to be aware that I get numerous requests from a variety of people asking for you to be banned, as many people see you as just boring and disruptive. I've resisted so far.
 
Turkish news saying it’s going to happen or has
It wasn’t verified
Our press lick it up and report it has happened without verifying it
They all want a scoop and be ITK

The End

I suspect as well they are keen to dig the boot in as they don't seem to have much time for McCann.

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..
so he's getting relieved of his duties this morning at training?

A Turkish journalist broke the story, yes. He's obviously got it from somewhere though. He's not just guessed and got lucky has he, it's come from Acun's team clearly.

Incidentally, our local media haven't reported it as having happened at all. They're reporting it as about to happen, which is exactly where we are, and they have verified that.

You're not the first person to incorrectly accuse them of reporting that it's already happened. Bizarre that a few people are so determined to give the local media stick that they'll make stuff up.

Listen to yourself. “You’ve resisted”? Thought this mod lark was a three way thing?

What I post doesn’t break the board rules, unless you’ve made up some new ones.

Others break them continually though without question.

Now can you stop with your inane & pointless attempts at provoking me & let the debate continue.

PS. I get numerous messages saying you’re not fit to moderate on here. They say you continually let your political views influence your decisions & that you regularly & actively go out of your way to protect certain posters by diverting the threads, deleting posts & deleting threads.

No it’s not just come from acuns team
Every man and his dog know he’s going to get the sack
It just hasn’t happened yet
Which is why he’s still here
They jumped the gun in turkey and our lot have reported it offf that

Hm dunno, there's been some pretty certain language in a lot of the coverage. Burnsy posting this yesterday, for instance:

You must log in or register to see media

Or this from HDM:

You must log in or register to see media

And then all subsequent articles including a picture of Shota as if he's making any decisions:

You must log in or register to see media

Doesn't say 'will depart' does it?

You have no idea what does or doesn't happen to other posters. It's generally done discretely in the background to save boring everyone else, but you have chosen to try to make yours public.

Have a debate by all means, that's what I'm trying to encourage, but if you keep going with tedious disruption and personal comments to other posters, you'll get a thread ban. You've had far more chances than most.
 
It's almost as if people don't realise Google Translate exists and that media reports in Turkey will be picked up by the British media. Although there has been a change of ownership, I bet the club PR folk haven't changed (yet) and maybe they haven't caught up to what is required with the new regime. Hence the apparent poor handling of the public messaging by the club.

Squires had something to say the other week about this...

Absolutely agree, but I’d add that it’s the Managers job to make that happen & change those attitudes. As it is in most professions.
See my earlier post about the Wigan game , how can he change attitudes of players who were moving on , didn’t want to be there , out of contract shortly and as a bunch decided ‘ to go through the motions’
Try motivating staff for 10 weeks of a redundancy period - in an office there’s be a lot of ‘ e mailing’ boss ‘ , or toilet time in a factory . Then there’s the ones who just couldn’t give a toss anyway
Management is not easy!

Mike White and Baz Cooper both said that they've had it confirmed that he's about to be sacked. They said this on Sunday night after the story broke in Turkey. They obviously made some calls in the wake of it breaking, and got the green light from Acun or one of his team to confirm that McCann is going. They don't say "I've had it confirmed" if they haven't.
 
It's all a bit ****ty but it is what it is.

On the plus side for Grant, he'll walk away with a tidy pay off, he's going to have the pick of his next club, I'm almost certain they'll be a 'bigger' club than us, he'll earn more money than he currently does with us, and he'll have a bigger budget than he ever did with us.

I bet his agent, if he was one, has already had phone calls from clubs asking how quickly he wants to jump back in.

Please substantiate

“tedious disruption and personal comments to other posters,”

So I know.

Please also define “tedious” in relation to it’s meaning within the board rules.

Please define “disruption” in relation to it’s meaning within the board rules.

Please define “personal comments” in relation to it’s meaning within the board rules.

Just so I know.

It sounds like the Forum motto - Comment. Debate. Create - can only be achieved Dutch’s terms.
