Nah, Gardner being given his marching orders was the highlight. There was a rendition of "Martin, you're a twat" as well. He apologised for the timing of his resignation in the post-match interview he gave to 5live too.

MON maintains that he has the goods on Lerner and Faulkner but he signed away his right to publish for 5 years. He will complete his Biography and then the MON version of the truth will be out.If that is anything near the truth & I suspect it is, it shows MON was preparing an exit in advance. Once he'd got his proof for the constructive dismissal case, he triggered the exit, the fact that the timing delivered the most disruption possible was an added bonus. It was rumored around February that he was preparing to walk, if he was unhappy he could of just walked. As it was he won on all counts;1. Leaves with managerial reputation intact2. Is vindicated in court by constructive dismissal claim3. Gets paid while he watches us fall apart.4. Gets another job where the process starts again, Sunderland be warned. Doesn't ring true to me. If it was then Lerner and Co would be well within their rights to broadcast the tricks he was up to. What sort of chairman would employ a manager who tapes private telephone conversations?
