Oscar Garcia will be at the match tomorrow

[brightn'ove]

There was a post on here that said he started singing a hymn during a negotiation, and he said he was practicing for a funeral the next day. It may have been in the Grabban deal from what I remember of the post.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Who's funeral are you going to?"

"Yours if you don't sign that piece of paper."

Burke fell into the common trap of confusing SINGING for SIGNING

Until you consider that Grabban was a done deal at one stage.....

Lewis Grabban was shown around the ground, was impressed with everything that the club had to offer and the deal was, as you say, as good as done. The club then asked Grabban to hold on because Tony Bloom was in Australia asleep and had asked the deal to be delayed until he'd re-read the contract when he woke up. His agent and Grabban thought 'sod that', got in their car and drove back to B'Muff.

How do I know this? We were sat next to the agent on the way up to the Forest away game last season and he told us himself.

That's not what our resident national newspaper journalist says. He said that the offer we gave Grabban was nowhere near what it should have been.

Edit. Or we can just believe Buzzer's story instead.

I'm not sure Oscar has EVER been to a Weatherspoons, so he's probably safe from your abuse

I just hope he is paying for his ticket

Although I like boobs and fannies, I actually love Oscar.

Genuine bloke, loads of time for the fans, great manager.

He certainly got the very best out of the players at his disposal, which is the sign of a true quality coach. I tend not to listen to rumour and bullsh1t, just judged him on what he did with the players on the pitch. His only flaw seems to be that of a quitter.

Also, I liked his chinos.

Rather him than me, I bet landing at Gatwick with the current wind power is a bit hairy

That's what I'd heard too Although with the addition that Grabban and agent had indicated they wanted more and only Bloom could agree it and he was getting his beauty sleep

I won't be there on Saturday but if I hear a few rounds of the "oscar garcia" song I'll be chuffed. I hope he hears our appreciation of what he did for the club in his short stay. He was a great coach and got the results from a fairly poor squad. He also delivered one of the best Albion moments in recent history. I would have loved to see him stay and bring more of his ethos to the club (coaches/recruitment etc).

However, the blow of losing him is a lot less now we have Hughton. I think Hughton is the real deal, has extensive knowledge of the English leagues and will do a really good job for us in the next few years, perhaps even better than Garcia could have done if he had stayed.

That's the agent spin though. I bet there was more too it than that, perhaps Bloom wasn't expecting to need to be involved and was asleep at 4am when the call came in

As I posted previously, I heard the same thing & I didn't hear it from an agent.

I once saw Oscar with his canine accomplise after a full English at the very same venue. That was the day of HashBrownGate.

Just supposing.....

One wonders what CH could have achieved with the squad which was available to OG last term ?
