May have been rushing off to the airport to meet partner for evening flight. I once went to a Brighton home game at Withdean and son took wife and the cases to Gatwick and I went straight there by train to meet her, so if I can do it I am sure he could.

I think that's stretching to accept his excuse. If his scheduled allowed him to be pitchside for the match that could have easily over run, he could stay ten minutes to complete his post match duties. Someone would have advised him of how unlikely it was that he'd be able to get away quickly after the match.

Going to watch a match is a different experience to going to manage a team playing in a match. If the match isn't over in time for you to get the train, you can leave early. The effect of being distracted by the clock because he had to get away would undermine his ability to do his job, and it wouldn't be acceptable.

Not a great fan of DF, but he seems to know how to deal with PUFC. You cannot disagree that he got them promoted on no money even though they went down next season. He found his level at PNE, while posh went through 3 managers. He comes back and with the same bunch of losers manages to get them up the table, into the play-offs and promoted.
Some managers just fit their club, Gradi at Crewe, evans at crawley(They really deserve each other)KD at LFC(No more comments please) and he works there.
he really bigged the game up here in the local press as he always does, and probably felt he looked a big enough plonker without confirming it on TV.

Who else noticed that he was constantly clapping the ref towards the end of the game wen decisions went our way, he was bang out of order the spoilt little brat

me. I had some sympathy, the ref was quite a homer. He's a decent manager, but may be a 1 club man as others have said.

I don't know that he has, just assumed he would have gone on holiday with somebody either male or female, being a football manager has probably got a new GF.

What sort of Chairman lets a manager go on holiday after only 5 Games?

Most would pay for it and put it down to him going to e.g Spain scouting, so a business expense.
