Shameful from the club unless Gus is a bloody good actor

You're all carying on like a bunch of shocked schoolgirls.

Gus knew he was going to be sacked.

Talk about drama queens!

I fail to believe that his representatives did not know about his sacking before the club released an official statement. It is then up to them to pass on message. Impossible to imagine that they would then withhold that information?

IF that is true then it's a ****ing disgrace.

This is just an embarrassment, if the club did do as he says and not tell him apart from the website does anyone else think it could be as a response to him doing it Sunday night and not repairing for the case?

Also, is it possible for us to even suck him without him knowing? Surely some sort of compensation would have to have been agreed? Otherwise isn't he ... Suspended??

some of you will really believe everything gus says. Who honesty believes the club havent told him or his advisors, get real

Thank ***, a voice of reason, if you can't see "the theatre" from GP and his agents I'm surprised, come on!

There is no way on earth that any football club today would not let him or his representatives know before they announced it, utter bullshit from Gus!

Do you actually know that ? If Gus is lying it would be very easy for the club to refute it with proof of a mobile call , e mail etc. To come out and say this on BBC if it is a lie is professional suicide.

I smell something fishy, and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldrick's apple crumble.

Employment law, by the book, BHA seem to have all bases covered. Surprised if they would be so 'inefficient'.

Seriously. I've always backed the club and I'm always an optimist, but whoever made the decision to release that ****ing statement now is a ****ing idiot (excuse the French)

The two scenarios:

1 it's the first he finds out about it and says so. We look like idiots
2 he knew already, but is on live tv so can claim its the first he's heard.

****in hell. Who seriously thinks its a good idea to sack a manager whilst he is on LIVE tv.

I'm fuming.

of course he knew, but the club have been poor in the timing since it gave him the chance to score points against the club

Surely the club would not have behaved in this way? I imagine they have informed at least his rep (agent) and Gus prior to making a press release. To do otherwise is amateurish and does not put the club in a good light pending Gus' appeal. Looks like this will run for awhile yet

Pork pie land.
It doesn't matter if its true or not , the timing of the statement knowing he is live on TV was always going to create some kind of reaction. It does not reflect well on the club

A fitting end to a manager who's number one priority was being a media whore for his own glory.

If he had been home waiting for the call he would have been ok.

Fantastic stuff..Great timing by the club.If you believe he didn't already know you will believe anything...Although i do believe the club released statement while he was on air on purpose and why not??? Hes the one that loves self promotion in front of the cameras,,,i call it poetic justice.
