Club statement re Gus *MERGED*

[pasty]

Talking about it now on bbc

 

[dadams2k11]

He has been sacked live on BBC

 

[brighton_girl87]

Pretty bad to not actually tell him!

 

[geniarse]

He's such a bullshitter "I didn't know"!

 

[Smirko]

Says he will appeal....

 

[Frutos]

This is very surreal viewing.

 

[KJP]

Club didn't even tell him, bit out of order that

 

[Seagull Steve]

Now the obvious has actually happened, I feel quite sad. Thanks for everything Gus, up until that 2nd play off game you were brilliant.

 

[Ernest]

Ask him what he did ?

 

[portslade seagull]

Gus please get over it and just move on

 

[geniarse]

Appealing to clear his name but he hasn't read all the documents !!

 

[Bra]

sorry dont believe that, the club would have notified him and his advisors, he would not have found out from the website

 

[drop dead fred]

Still playing the victim

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Is this THE oddest sacking ever?

 

[Diego Napier]

The LMA statement quoted in The Argus said "Further, the very lengthy appendices to the initial report comprise around 500 pages and these were also only delivered recently" suggests an appeal on a technicality if the club hasn't got everything perfectly right.

No it doesn't. This is about employment law and Gus's behaviour in contravening rules laid down in his employment contract. There must be a substantial breach of contract. There won't be any scope for appeal on minor technicalities like a wrongly dated statement.

 

[Albion Dan]

It will cost the club a LOT of money, far more than if they had either had the courage of their convictions and sacked him right at the beginning or had negotiated a leaving settlement.

Not true.

 

[geniarse]

Club didn't even tell him, bit out of order that

And you honestly believe that!!!!

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Oooops. Maybe the letter is in the post.................

Golden opportunity for Gus to seize the PR opportunity live on the BBC, so the timing might not be the smartest move by the Club even if Gus is talking bollocks. Let the mud slinging commence.

why would he have been meeting players today a) whilst told not to and b) if he didn't know he was sacked??

 

[Marshy]

Bollox he didnt already know, going for the sympathy vote

 

[Stevie Boy]

The end of one era, and the start of a new one
