dubai_phil Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 OK this got side tracked a bit by Sturrock, I just want to double check. Delia has given Gunn the Chop? Is that about it?
thorpie the sinner Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 apparently, the only chance of staying in a job was if norwich beat Yeovil 8-0!! Tad unlucky really!
Big Ron fan Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 Sturrock was not sacked. Don't lets go back to the old habits of changing the facts in order to make a post. OK, forced out by being undermined by a useless and arrogant chairman, if you want it in long-hand!
70's Mike Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 OK, forced out by being undermined by a useless and arrogant chairman, if you want it in long-hand! WHY bother he will never believe you
Big Ron fan Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 A reminder to anyone who suggested that MLT should have been our new manager that it wouldn't have worked Non-sequitur!
ruddick Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 A reminder to anyone who suggested that MLT should have been our new manager that it wouldn't have worked Hmmm perhaps true that MLT would not have worked but not sure how someone else getting and losing a job at a different club is proof it wouldn't have worked?!
Gorgiesaint Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 Hmmm perhaps true that MLT would not have worked but not sure how someone else getting and losing a job at a different club is proof it wouldn't have worked?! Maybe, wonder how the Norwich fans feel about Gunny now - he was certainly a legend before (arguable whether he was their MLT), but is still?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 Just an example of another half-baked idea from Delia.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 August, 2009 Author Posted 14 August, 2009 I notice you were quick to report this story, and also notice your username - you're not the one and only Delia Smith - are you...??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_8JLkwzpd0 I rest my case, M'lud...!! Ever heard of a "play on words". If not check with the Club Historian, who it is my honour to chauffeur tomorrow.
doggface Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 I just can't believe you started a thread and it was actually football news rather than a quip!
saintwarwick Posted 14 August, 2009 Posted 14 August, 2009 have you tried the Norwich OS...may help Maybe most saints fans don't bother with the Norwich OS, I don't know why but just a thought.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 August, 2009 Author Posted 14 August, 2009 I just can't believe you started a thread and it was actually football news rather than a quip! At least it was factual, you poor, sick, Cannuck.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Sturrock was not sacked. Don't lets go back to the old habits of changing the facts in order to make a post. Yeah - right Didn't he leave by that well known euphemism 'mutual consent' with a trail of NDAs duly signed?
Toomer Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Didn't he leave by that well known euphemism 'mutual consent' with a trail of NDAs duly signed? That was about the Lowe down on it.
saint lard Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 It gets on mt tits that everyone appears to have to appologise,when he should be the one to say sorry.... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2589197/Rupert-Lowe-An-apology.html
dubai_phil Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 It gets on mt tits that everyone appears to have to appologise,when he should be the one to say sorry.... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2589197/Rupert-Lowe-An-apology.html Love it... It says they were wrong to suggest he sacked 10 managers and ...... nothing else, no record straight lol Meanwhile, he's done the "attack the press" thing now. Let's hope he isn't trolling through here with his lawyers!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Love it... It says they were wrong to suggest he sacked 10 managers and ...... nothing else, no record straight lol Meanwhile, he's done the "attack the press" thing now. Let's hope he isn't trolling through here with his lawyers! Phil do you think anyone has ever heard Rupert say Sorry! Ah well he is gone but you are right to say it is worthwhile filling in all the gaps in the whole sorry saga. My only surprise is that Rupert never made himself manager - I think it would have happened had he stayed! Off to darkest Yorkshire now - 3 points would be nice but it's more about having a football team to support than anything else! Last time I was in Yorkshire I was almost sitting next to Rupert but that's a long story.
SaintRichmond Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 I wonder how many managers have been sacked after a 4-0 away win against a team above them in the league table... I do not think that Gunn was popular with the players It could well be they (collectively) said, after Colchester,... " See what we can do without him" .... then went out and beat Yeovil 4-0 .. Far fetched ????? ......... Saints players have got rid of Managers over the years ...........
SaintRichmond Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 It gets on mt tits that everyone appears to have to appologise,when he should be the one to say sorry.... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2589197/Rupert-Lowe-An-apology.html As with the Mail .......... rather hollow don't you think ??? How many Millions have either paper had to shell out I thought you could still express an opinion in this country ........... mine is that he SACKED Ten Managers ........... How else did they leave .... of their own free will ????
Master Bates Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Love it... It says they were wrong to suggest he sacked 10 managers and ...... nothing else, no record straight lol Meanwhile, he's done the "attack the press" thing now. Let's hope he isn't trolling through here with his lawyers! Ah but the record is straight, I believe the apology is in regards to The Sun saying Lowe sacked Nigel Pearson, which he did not.
SaintRichmond Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Ah but the record is straight, I believe the apology is in regards to The Sun saying Lowe sacked Nigel Pearson, which he did not. "sacked" ... ???? Moot point .....Lowe did not "renew" his contract ..... he did not want him ......so, in my book ... he Got Rid Of Him Legally not a sacking ........but, Morally True To Form
OldNick Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 I have known the Sturrock family for many years and this one was mutual. None of the ****** spouted at the time was correct, just an unfortunate collection of small incidents that steam rollered out of control. Luggy is free to comment on this one when he wishes, but I really doubt we will hear anything because that is the type of person he is! I thought PS came out and admitted he could not handle the pressure and his declared illness
ottery st mary Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Going along to the Exeter/Norwich game today......See what the mighty Saints are up against this season and spot any talent for TOP Coach..nickh next forum team. Will be interesting to see what some of the Norwich fans have to say re The Canaries ongoing soap opera.... Reminds me of The Saints in days gone by...... COYRs

COYRsyou couldnt spot a george Best if he was laying on a bed of money and 3 miss Worlds by his side
Whitey Grandad Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 The carpet fitter who was working on Luggy's new house at the time told me that he said "I think they're trying to get rid of me". Make of it what you will. As for Lowe, maybe 'sacked' is not the exact legal term. Shall we agree on: 'got rid of'?
ottery st mary Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 you couldnt spot a george Best if he was laying on a bed of money and 3 miss Worlds by his side nick.....I thought I was your right hand man for the next forum game...What happened to my title as your West Country Scout. When you are next in Sidmouth I will bring you up to speed with the times I met Georgie boy in various Wine bars/Clubs in London....(Laying in the gutter outside to be more precise) Sad to see one of your idols...From a bed of money to a bed of tarmac. God bless him. COYRs

Rattlehead Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Let's hope he isn't trolling through here with his lawyers! I bet he is as well, the sad t*sser. In fact, I hope he is and I would like him to know that I blame him for everything. Now sue me you nutsack.
Secret Site Agent Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 So... Gunn's been fired?!?! Thats a shot in the dark
stinhk Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Yeah, they've made a real hash of it over there at Norwich in recent years.
hamster Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Por old Gunn has just lost his job and people on here are making him the butt of their jokes, what triggered this response?
