All businesses will look at the bottom line and if it not looking good they must take action the club is not a charity and has expanded quickly and cost have probably risen to high and have to be sorted out with fair play coming into play. Lets hope it's not o much bad news. I still believe in TB

I on the other hand do have contacts at the club and can reveal that everyone is being sacked and reemployed on contracts based on people being paid in Pringles and hard boiled eggs!

Talking about speculation though, I speculate that in the next six weeks, it will all be sorted out and there will be some new members of staff, some original members of staff staying on and some members of staff, who are both new and original and walk around all day in flip flops and Hawaiian shirts saying wibble

Finally, FINALLY, someone's got to the truth

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!

He reckons we have not seen the last of Vicente. He said he was fully fit since Jan (as per interview) but was just not used. After a few problems at the start of the year his family are now very settled n Brighton and he really wants to stay - ultimately though it is not up to him so will depend on what any new manager wants (and I am guessing on what happens with regard to Lopez)

Surely as Gus didn't deal with the retained list, the powers that be at the club decided they didn't want him. Can't see them agreeing to re-sign him!

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?

You've clearly never worked for EDS or Capita then !

I'm not sure you are being entirely serious, or is this some sort of new motivational dress-down policy?

Why hard boiled? Surely it saves on gas/electric just to give them plain old eggs.

Apparently redundancies have already started and Sally Townsend has been told she is being made redundant. Very Sad if true as she has been with the club since the goldstone days and gave me a signed framed picture of then Albion Captain Dean Wilkins on my 18th.

I've been dealing with someone in a middle mgt position at the club over the last week. Spoke to the individual today and got the strong impression that they had been told that they would be leaving. Have now been handed over to someone else at the club to resolve my query.

just a guess that the person concerned might be going on holiday and someone else could be dealing with their outstanding workload while they are away?
