Anybody else thought that maybe MON's fighting for adequate payouts not just for him but all his staff who walked with him too?

From MON's perspective surely its easy to buy players than sell them & I'm sure he would have wanted replacements lined up before he got rid of anyone.I mean in what industry do you sack a portion of your workforce & THEN put an advert inthe paper to replace them?
Aye."You want to sign McGeady when we already have three decent wingers on the books?" would also be a perfectly reasonable question for the powers at be to ask.
Everybody at the club is focusing on the tribunal. The board members and the lawyers both of whom are needed for contracts would be in particular affected.
What pisses me off more than anything about this whole fucking mess, and the shit he left us in, is that it is still affecting the club today. I heard Brad Friedel talking to Collymore on the radio this afternoon and basically his contract talks are on hold until the tribunal is sorted. HE IS NOT EVEN AT OUR CLUB ANYMORE AND HE IS STILL AFFECTING DECISIONS!!! Why is this affecting the contract talks, i dont know, if anyone does, then please say, Im just a bit thick!
Quote from: Willie Anderson on May 21, 2011, 11:06:13 AMThis is how I see it:-RL had requested/ordered MON to reduce the wage & at the same time told PF that no money out until deadwood sold, fair enough.MON realises he has to balance the books but at the same time strengthen the squad, therefore organises the McGeady & Keane deals.PF acting on RL's instructions blocks the deal. MON views this as interference in playing matters spits his dummy out & walks.Had RL been in the UK at the time I think a compromise could have been reached. McGeady & Keane signed with the proviso that Sidwell, NRC et al would be sold asap.As I recall, Randy was in Brum, left on the Saturday thinking everything was fine. On the next day MON gets all his staff to agree to quit and hands in his resignation on the Monday morning to PF, who then calls a very shocked Randy Lerner.My guess is MON realised he'd been found out:He acknowledged that some Villa fans were not happy and beginning to question his decisions.He knew he didn't have the appetite to carry on for another season, especially having been linked to the Liverpool job.He realised he was going to look rather foolish when Lerner saw the resale value of his purchases. He knew that if he left when he did he'd still have his reputation intact. He knew he had a ready made excuse he could give his mates in the pressHe knew the timing of his resignation would likely mean Villa would struggle to hit 6th place again.He knew he'd soon be offered a new job.
