A few bits and pieces of news

[e77]

Reorganisation: Quite possible, in line with cost cutting.

Suspensions: Doesn't take an insider to work out they probably aren't coming back.

Vicente: Personally I think he is gone and not coming back.

 

[Fan4fifty]

Vicente was gutted to leave. He couldn't stand Gus. If Gus has gone there is every chance he will return.

thanks for the info - however, i also have a contact at the club, but im not 100% convinced by the vicente thing, it goes against a bit of what ive heard. im hoping im wrong however

Not saying it is going to happen - just that in his opinion having a player as good as Vicente desperate to stay and largely only leaving due to conflict with the manager makes his staying a distinct possibility when a new manager is appointed.

 

[Giraffe]

Vicente coming back - no chance

Restructuring - yes. Redundancies - yes

 

[Kumquat]

I think it might or might not be true about Vicente.

I feel the same about the suspensions.

As for the restructuring...I'm on the fence.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

I haven't got a contact at the club and I haven't a clue, does that make me unique ?

I HAVE got a contact at the highest level in the club but he tells me NOTHING, so I haven't a clue either...

I am NOT speculating

I know it is none of my/our business but I just cannot understand why Charlie would get himself into trouble like this - he is obviously not as wealthy as Gus and Tanno and it was widely reported a few years ago that he was very badly stung by some terrible investment advice and then there is Oatway junior trying to develop his football career, gave a very good account of himself in the sussex senior cup final but is no longer a part of the albion development squad - not forgetting that Charlie has been a great servant to the club on and off the field for many years

I was speaking with my dad today and he said he knows something

Club Staff Meeting likely to be linked to an answer provided by Mr Barber in his first Answers to Questions thread;
"our club’s general running costs are also higher than I would expect. And we will be taking tough decisions to reduce our costs as quickly as possible"

Unlikely that this is the playing staff......

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

The Vicente thing seems unlikely, but if there is anything to it maybe he is just keeping his options open?

Of all of our loanees I thought Vicente least likely to stay because his contribution this last season was so sparse. Whereas Bridge and Upson were quality additions to the side.

I felt Upson was most likely to get a permanent deal and naturally hoped that Bridge might stay too, but suspected that we would get gazumped.

Upson and Bridge won't be easy to replace.

Had a chat yesterday with someone who has contacts at the club. He told me something had happened last week and that club staff had been asked to report in Thursday this week for a briefing. He said the word "re-structuring" was used. He did not know if this was with regard to the managers job or not.

He told me what he believed to be the reasons behind the suspensions and he said he would be VERY suprised if Poyet, Tanno and especially Charlie returned. Have to say I agree with him. Cannot say more on this for obvious reasons!

This confirms what I also heard - that something was due to happen on Thursday and also that there was absolutely no way back for the suspended parties.

I have a second hand contact at the club who currently is as high as you can get excluding TB and PB. I don't ask any questions and therefore have no inside info

 

[Hamilton]

I have a contact at the club too.

He told me that there is a big meeting on Tuesday and a big meeting on Friday. He thought that there would probably be tea and biscuits at the Tuesday meeting, but on Friday it might just be water as they sometimes run out of milk.

What sort of milk do they have that means if they run out they can only offer water rather than milk-less tea?

'A meeting without coffee' is recognised code for a good googling....

He's been an integral part of the Gus' team for three and a half years, they're friends, and Gus has said he'd take him wherever he went. I don't know why it would be 'esepcially' Oatway but I don't see why people are so surprised he's in the same boat as Poyet and Taricco.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I have a big meeting Friday, but it's nothing to do with the club

I know that Gus likes and respects Charlie because Charlie tells Gus like it is - not what he wants to hear.

I didn't know that Gus has said he would take Charlie wherever he went. That being the case, no need for me to be perplexed

 

[beorhthelm]

wow, id be amazed if a company told their employees a week in advance to attend a meeting for "re-structuring" considering what everyone know this means. normally, its at a convened meeting that the restructuring is announced. but not as surprised as i'd be if Vicente continued to have any part to play with our club. so, same old rumour mill rubbish then isnt?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

so, same old rumour mill rubbish then isnt?

In a word: yes
