    Are you missing the Gillingham and Withdean years?

    Yawn. Simplistic and repetitive misinterpretation of the situation.

    Going 'corporate'

    Successful? We were constantly bailed out by wealthy supporters. Without them we were bankrupt. We did well (in lower leagues) because of them and despite our debt. The most successful period in the history of the club was getting promoted to first division and fa cup final anyway.

    People overlooking the difference between head coach and manager

    Nailed it. The coach says what he needs and the sort of player he wants. The DoF goers and finds candidates. Coach says if they are the right guys and then leaves the haggling to people who haggle professionally. Never understood why people thought a good coach by default equates to a good deal...

    Oscar's last season

    Welcome and thanks for posting. Macabi only conceded 7 goals at home last season - so I don't think he takes a Peterborough approach to winning games. Score lots and concede very few. Nice!

    Head coach - new title or new structure?

    NAN - I read it as avoiding any employment law challenges. But you may be right - it could be a new approach.

    Injury updates

    Some serious players with serious injuries from the end of last season. Good to have them on the way back.

    Reading and Real Mallorca have offered contracts to Lopez

    Oscar's first call: "Ola Dave. See you at training on Thursday - it's going to be great" "Gracias Oscar - can't wait. See you tomorrow - I'll bring my pen"

    Óscar García Junyent - Club CONFIRM appointment as Head Coach (8.10pm, 26 June)

    Here's my theory. Albion have a strong case against Gus (or they wouldn't have sacked him in the first place and risked losing an appeal). Gus will not now appeal and in return Albion will keep the breaches of contract private. Gus walks and Oscar moves from Interim to FT Manager. Life goes on...

    Reading and Real Mallorca have offered contracts to Lopez

    Not surprising news if Spanish Dave is unsettled. Will be a big loss but I've been expecting it.

    Will all this conflict have a knock on affect during the new season?

    Hard to see how this can't have affected the build-up to the season. TB said as much. But the effect might be small if we can get a manager in soon and reassure the current players.

    Further statement due today? *edit: Online now!*

    Added to three where it seemed highly appropriate and to put the argument to bed.

    Who is to blame for this horrendous PR gaff ?

    "Gus was well aware, before he appeared on the BBC, that his dismissal was pending".

    Further statement due today? *edit: Online now!*

    "Gus was well aware, before he appeared on the BBC, that his dismissal was pending".
  16. Couldn't Be Hyypia

    So the club released the statement about Gus's dismissal before telling him?

    "Gus was well aware, before he appeared on the BBC, that his dismissal was pending".

    Who is to blame for this horrendous PR gaff ?

    Bingo - so Gus and his advisors spinning this into a pro-Gus story. You can't blame them and the BBC have got a great bit of apparent breaking news. Cheers Gus - time to go now.

    Video of Gus interview

    Gus is a slippery bloody fish isn't he. I'm not going to pick what he says apart line by line but will say: Gus doesn't ever specifically say he didn't know before and he doesn't confirm the statement is the first he heard about it. He specifically says he got nothing and nothing on his phone...
