I just Googled Brian Dick and the firewall came down like a ton of bricks

Can't see a way back for this pair, even if found not guilty, especially Culverhouse.I don't know anything about him, but he does seem to attract a lot of bad press.

The players should get Sid a new training top with "Don't f*ck with me " on the back.

I reckon it says "bad mother fucker" on his wallet.

They are gone now realistically. Even if nothing is found, the press are widely reporting their relationship with Lambert to be beyond repair. If so, the summer has to be an opportunity to review the coaching set up, invest in the right people if Lambert is still seen as the man to take us forward, and get that set up spot on.

[Jim Shoes]

Thank god Culverhouse has gone, Sid is THE man!!!

We may not win the weekend but I'm sure the lads will respond positively to the axing of these 2 muppets.

The club's lawyers are going to be busy, by the sound of it. God, what a mess. If Lambert did allow this to go on for weeks, as is claimed in the press, then he's even more useless than I thought.

But if it's only really been a problem that came to light and manifested itself in the last 4-5 weeks then in order to do things properly and not get dragged into a compensation fight a few weeks of investigation etc is not unreasonable.

I think you can afford to get rid and sort it immediately if you're not worried about paying compensation but I don't think Randy or Faulkener want that.

Good. Anything that generates work for the brotherhood is fine by me!

[Jimbo]

What's really unsettled me about this whole sorry saga is that every time I see the word Karsa, I see Ksara, as in Château Ksara, which makes me want to drink a load of old wine.

Every time I see the word Culverhouse, I see twat.

[Tony Erdington]

we had the fall of the roman empire, the erosion of the british empire, now we got RandyGate, ffs we are most definitely in decline and there aint a lot of football nowse down B6.

But they were suspended yesterday pending an investigation, so that's still to come.

I'm no expert on employment law, but I'm pretty sure you can't fire someone without compensation simply because of bad workplace chemistry. They have to be guilty of serious misconduct. There must be more to this.

You could potentially fairly dismiss someone with notice for "Some Other Substantial Reason" if workplace relationships had broken down but other than for gross misconduct or with a payment in lieu of notice you could not dismiss them summarily.

You have to have 2 years' service to claim Unfair Dismissal which neither of them will have yet so they would have to rely on their contractual rights.

To get sacked it has to be some spectacular form of gross mis-conduct, either that or a collection of official warnings for the same offence.

[olaftab]

I would hate to have a conversation like that with my sister. In fact I'd sooner quit my job, sell my house and leave the country

Yes same here. However I would rent my house rather than selling it

[olaftab]

If Lerner still has any intention of us regaining any standing in the game we need a clear out, top to bottom.

There is no such thing and we don't need to do that anyway.
