Haysey may be right....

Surely thats not allowed and could be investigated.. for zero worth i know....

If we cant sign Poyet, what reason do we have for getting up in the morning ??


I can completely understand Super, a shade of bleak is all i see in front of me.

Sounds like a Belgian with a misunderstanding of English contract law. Offered and accepted gives grounds for a claim unless cp altered the terms before signing. If not the lawyers might stretch the legal qualifications of our chief executive to the limit.... Doesn't work the same way under Belgian law but I would think the league managers association could have a field day.

All our owners have given us that... They've also been very fortunate to have an ever present group of fans, who looking at the overall picture boils down to blaming everything on the manager...

They have done an excellent job of protecting a succession of useless owners ...
 
I wanted TJ and MS out as I felt (as many others did) that the club needed a change and some investment and this is not something I will apologise for before the 'be careful what you wish for' brigade begin.

Having said that, I would have them back in a heartbeat instead of RD given the way he is running the club. If what is being reported by SSN is true, this is an utterly dispicable way to treat another human being, let alone an employee that worked so tirelessly with both hands tied behind his back for the past 18 months.

I was seriously debating wether or not to renew my season ticket, this may force my hand.
 
I've said for over 10 days that KM has been doing her job here but receiving no support from RD. You now have to question if she's being hung out to dry like everyone else in London, or if she's happy to be a puppet. But I think it's strange that she's done her job of agreeing contract with CP, Poyet and a couple others yet not receiving the back up from Roland.

Dated 3rd of March it talks about RD not coming through for her.
 
Roley has just made a statement that the decision was taken because they could not agree on the "football strategy moving forward"...

So in other words CP didn't want to be his nodding puppet... The sacking was inevitable, and it has always been a question of when is Roley's puppet turning up...

Powell was offered a new contract last week. Signed it. Was returned by Roland Duchâtelet unsigned with the message you're sacked. #CAFC

This has got to be some sort of joke...?

I doubt he will because it may harm his future employment prospects. But I'd love to hear Powell's side of things warts an all.

It might at least make RD think twice before behaving like such a c**t in future.

Anyway, I'm off to bed after a 12hr night shift. When I wake up I want to read that the Qatar royal family have brought us and that they've recruited Carlo Anchelotti as manager.

Night night...

I'm annoyed by this! If they didn't want to back Powell from the beginning they should have done this when they took over. Honestly believe we're down now...think this has made up my mind about renewing my season ticket!

Good luck to Powell, wouldn't be surprised if the foxes took him on in a coaching role or something.

<ok> If he wants a coaching role until the end of the season, i would hope that we'd take him on, but i can't see us making any changes backstage at the moment.

I think he'll take another managers job and deserves to really, got a promotion on his CV, maybe at the bottom end of the championship or a top end league 1 club looking for promotion.

''time will tell if it's the right decision'' ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh roley, you really are filling the fans with confidence.

Right decision would have been buying players we need, not players he wanted us to use from Liege.
Only Astrid is any good, and he can't last 90 minutes, Reza is lightweight European footballer, good luck Reza against League 1 CBs, Polish Pete, I was excited by but no where to be seen. Nego, not seen him, but if Powell would play Wilson at RB instead of RM to stop Nego playing, must say something. Thuram.... well, I'd feel more confident with my Mum in goal
 
We have one of the best Keepers in the Division in Ben Hamer, we HAD one of the most in form goal keepers in the divison in Ben Alnwick, now we have an absolute joke of a goal keeper.

As been said my season ticket won't be renewed now, and I'll just stroll over and buy a ticket for each game I fancy next season
 
I wanted Powell out but this was the problem...who he'd be replaced with, gutted I can't make the game tomorrow night now.
 
As much as I am saddened by this decision, we need to get behind the new man and work as one to help pull away from the relegation zone.

Thank you Chris for 3 fantastic years as manager.
 
Is this Jose Riga dude going to be the manager or the director of football? Or is he here to oversee the academy?

Is someone else waiting in the wings?
