Statement close say SSN

I knew it! They'll announce it while i'm at the docs. Nailed on 100% FACT.

Hurry up and go then.  :-)

I'm no employment law expert. but surely if he's sacked for being crap we can appoint who we want whenever we want? And the same if he resigned?

If he resigns he can claim constructive dismissal, if he's sacked he can't, which is why he'll have a compromise agreement, meaning you're fired but it's a nice way to do it & you feel like you aren't quite so hard done by, but it also means he'll be gagged for ever & a day & if he even mentions anything about why he got fired he'll have to pay back everything, is the usual terms of such agreements.

Can you imagine anyone employing him again? Maybe unlucky with the Blues but then to take us from 6th to where we ended up is not down to luck

He is a piss poor manager by any standard

As he's only been here for 11 months the only way he could claim unfair dismissal would be if he was pregnant or had blown the whislte on dodgy health and safety practises.  They could quite happily hand him his P45 and settlement cheque with Paul Lambert sat in he same room with no fear of anything legal coming back to bite them on the arse.  I hope they move quickly before the likes of Liverpool realise just how past it KKKenny is.

I think we've tapped up Lambert

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Apparently, the reason why it's taking so long is that McLeish is trying to draw his job rather than lose it.

OK thanks - don't want you to miss the big moment, but I can't stand the wait.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Evening everybody!

So... has he gone yet? Just got back from work and am refusing to detach myself from the radio!

[PaulWinch again]

Damn right, enough of this honourable stuff it leaves us miles behind.

[London Villan]

I'd have still sacked him if I was a billionaire. Just for the satisfaction of highlighting how terrible he has been.
