When does pending become a certainty?

[Dave the OAP]

Well?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Once it's been confirmed - but you still know it's coming even if you don't know the time. Shouldn't really be a "shock" TBH.

 

[Eksman]

When u find out live on the bbc in front of millions of viewers

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Seems both parties can be assumed to be correct. Gus hadn't been officially fired by the time he appeared on the BBC but he knew that he was about to be fired

 

[Wilko 1901]

Meltdown pending

 

[kevo]

It's what I kind of thought. He knew it was coming, but didn't receive official confirmation until he heard it from the BBC.

Not being party to the conversations, we do not know if when he left them, he was aware that it was imminent or it was still under discussion with his legal teams.

The use or wording in anything legal is crucial!

It probably went something like this.

Gus we are firing you. Our legal team will send over the paperwork to confirm it.

Its pending.

Letters typed and signed off, and sent to legal team/Gus

Confirmed.

Press released issued.

Simple really.

So when he was surprised on MOTD that he had been sacked, I'm afraid that was all a show for sympathy for those that see no wrong in him.

hopefully this

Decision made and communicated with Gus, but not yet announced to the public.

Indeed. Having just watched the BBC bit, I thought his wording was very careful as well - he didn't say that he didn't know. I cannot believe he didn't know it was imminent though, even if he hadn't seen the released statement or been told by his lawyers that it had happened,

 

[DIFFBROOK]

But why make the announcement at 8pm last night, the exact same time as Gus is appearing on BBC. Why couldnt it wait until this morning. Seems deliberate and vindictive by BHA to me.

I think Barber has a lot to answer for this sorry mess. If Poyet wins his case, I expect Barber to go as it would have cost compo and also dragged the clubs name through the mud. Not to mind hindered our pre season and recruitment.

Im sure the layers have far more say than Barber about content and timing of press releases in the this. So probably better to bash them than Barber. Unless off course you would like to explain why you think Barber has a lot to answer for?

Seems deliverate, I'd agree 100%

Seems vindictive. I'd disagree. It was timed like that for a reason, that I am sure

 

[Albumen]

I think ALL sackings should be communicated through a live BBC channel.

 

[Postman Pat]

Is pending before or after imminent?

 

[BigGully]

Wow some knickers in a twist here ......

Pending, certainty, timing of events blah blah blah .........

Poyet is a sophisticated player, he has enough support from his own legal teams, he aint gonna be swallowed up and spat out, he will be fine as will the club.

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

iyho?

Yes. Thatls why I said "it probably went something like this."

Give it up mate.

In football terms, the club broke down the wing, played a dangerous ball across the six yard box, and Poyet spectacularly scored the best own goal of his career. IMO

The club laid the bait. Poyet took it hook, line and sinker.

No lets all move on. Gus is gone, and he's not coming back!

 

[kevo]

iyho?

Tubby has a massive anti-Poyet agenda. It could mean anything. Gus said on TV that discussions had been happening throughout the day. I imagine they had verbally told him it would happen - although the extent of that is anyone's guess and we are only taking the club's word on this, of course (who knows how the last conversation panned out and who said what to whom) - but there is a huge difference between that and officially confirming a decision has been made. Why it couldn't have waited until today is anyone's guess.

 

[Bladders]

Either..

A. He knew he was being sacked but didn't know when it was going to be made official

B. Told to accept the clubs settlement by 20:00 or face the sack and can take his chances with an appeal.
