Times journo reporting on twitter that he is saying goodbyes and just got to sort compo.


Interesting one from Abraham that under 40 points is a reduced compo claim. Maybe that is what his ramblings about a good job have been about.

Has to be gone when he meets with Lerner this week. If he isn't sacked at that meeting he'll still be here next season. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and take time to get the next appointment right. Maybe even get a DoF in and formulate a long term plan and get the right manager/coach in to bring the club together again.

Sounds like he's gone which is great. I don't have sympathy for him(other than the personal abuse, that was too much), but at the same time I don't blame him for taking the job. He just was never up to it.

Its a misprint - we've put in a bid for Ivan Campo!

I also think that the 40 points rumour is bollocks, why would he agree to that?
