He found out from the BBC.

[Ali_rrr]

Bollocks, he knew.

This. And, if he'd bothered to turn up for his hearing, he would've also found out before.

 

[kevo]

What a load of bollocks, of course Gus knew before the BBC, there's no way TB and PB would allow that to happen!

They obviously have.

 

[Lego-Stand]

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

 

[Dougie]

A ducking disgrace more like. Shame on the club, that's appalling. I'm embarrassed. And new admiration for him staying on as a pundit. We look very very bad in the eyes of the footballing world right now.

I actually felt sorry for him . Really bad, or calculated , from the club .

 

[Bra]

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

 

[Ernest]

Why not ?

Because only idiots would believe that he found out like that

 

[maglers]

Why not ?

Why?

 

[yxee]

Did anyone else watch this on BBC3? I'm sure he hinted that his lawyers knew but I can't remember the exact phrasing. Didn't he say that his lawyers were reading through e-mails earlier in the day?

 

[scooter1]

Bollocks, he knew.

I think this as well

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Whatever the facts are Gus is royally doing one with the reputation of the BHAFC board and if there is any truth in it rightly so.

 

[Max Paper]

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!

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Think he is possibly telling some porkies there, hit whoever at the club thought it would work out any other way is an idiot.

This!!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Woah guys, GP is ON NATIONAL TV and says "He wasn't told". He has had representatives working for him, they would have been told the outcome as pre-agreed and would have said he's unavailable and it looks great from their point of view.

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

In all fairness, what's his face presenter said he had to put his phone on charge. The club could have been trying to call for hours!

 

[forrest]

Mmmm I find it hard to believe that Gus didnt know before going on BBC that he had been sacked. I mean what sort of company tells the whole world that they've sacked someone before actually telling that person first?

 

[Tory Boy]

Well that's what we pay the license fee for.

To be informed etc etc.

TB

 

[wehatepalace]

He will have been told at the end of the meeting, it's just Gus playing the victim, he's hardly likely to say "yeah I got the gooner today, and it's fair enough, guilty as charged".
It's his way of saving face, and keeping other clubs interested in him.

Absolutely this...who releases statements on a Sunday evening...poor show from the club. I felt uncomfortable and rubbish seeing Gus interviewed like that. Embarrassing for me god knows how Gus was feeling...

 

[HantsSeagull]

some of you are incredibly gullible
