Culverhouse and Karsa suspended (Now both sacked: Reply #876)

[The Laughing Policeman]

Is there a time frame in which the internal inquiries and subsequent hearing have to be held?
I only ask because I should think the club will want this sorted one way or the other as soon as possible.
I certainly wont be holding my breath waiting for all the gory details to come out. The best we can hope for is a sanitised version of events from the club board or some sort of "agreed" statement from both parties that tells us nothing.

That depends on whether or not they are suspended with/without pay.  If it's with pay than  it can go on as long as it suits the Employer. Without it has to be dealt with at the earliest possible opportunity.

It would be very rare (to the point of virtually never happening) that an employer would have a contractual right to suspend without pay.

Does anybody know when Culverhouse will be officially named as the new Norwich manager with Karsa as his Assistant Manager?

I think someone mentioned this yesterday, and it struck me then as a neat explanation as to why this matter has come to a head for both men at the same time.

It's very possible although I doubt it. I'm still swaying towards the player animosity theory. It would explain why we've been so inconsistently poor this season.

I think the tactical ineptitude is more a reason for us being so poor this season, Clamps. I don't believe the Norwich link is the sole reason, player animosity must be top of the list and the Norwich job only became available a few weeks ago, though they may have been sounded out a few months ago, it's been horrible their since before Xmas. As Brian listed, there are many reasons for the Norwich interest but he missed out how much the carrot crunchers love Culverhouse. He'd be a very popular choice, indifferent to what division they find themselves next season.

Talking of train stations, does anyone actually get on or off at Duddeston?

Not since 1972

That was me, and I can confirm that Duddeston station is a physical manifestation of a portal into the Fourth Dimension.
I got off there by accident in 1972 and have been condemned ever since. Every time I go to Villa Park now all I can see before me are Cumbes, Aitken, Curtis, Gidman, Nicholl, Hamilton, McMahon, Rioch, Beard, Graydon , Little and Ross.
I must admit as a curse it's not too bad, but be warned......if you get off at Duddeston now you will relive this season for the rest of your life.

I'm sure it was me.
I was there.

Or was I?
Was it you?

Did we have that yet?

I am liking the Norwich link. Sounds plausible that the combination of rowing and treachery could be the straw that broke lambos back.

This stuff does not happen in organisations that are well managed and led. This tells you everything you need to know about what a mess the Club are in.

Maybe just maybe if the owner showed up occasionally, they didn't have an Account Manager as CEO or if they had a manager that knew what the fuck his staff were up to tis shit would not happen.

I really would like to be able to disagree with you. But I can't.

They are 2 people short at board level in terms of football nous. One of them should be a DoF type figure. Faulkner is learning football politics on the job. Not the same thing As this is merely feathering his own nest for the future.
