AvfcRigo82 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Obviously a falling out! His statement is contradicting. "He has left for duties with Ireland struggling".. Ireland don't have another friendly for the next 4 months!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Must mean the takeover is on....there can be no other explanation Quick! To TBAR! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Gone due to family reasons I'm told before people claim it's due to a fall out. Why have the club not said that? Seems more reasonable than not being able to handle two roles when Ireland don't play for 4 months. Perhaps they need or want privacy for some reason I don't know but I'm reliable told that is why it's happened. But people are free to believe the guff about people witnessing a bust up if they wish. I don't believe a conspiracy theory but I noticed a couple of journalists on twitter have mentioned its strange. The family reason is a fair one that can't be argued with.

wazzap24 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm all for the passion that like of Laursen and Mellberg would bring, but I'd rather see someone with some tactical nous be brought in. Hence, my call for Meulensteen. Absolutely this. I get the sentiment and the calls for Cowans, Laursen, Mellberg etc, but is people with actual recognised coaching ability we need, not just someone who 'loves the club' I'm another for Meulensteen or someone like Mike Phelan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) One started on Sky. That bastion for researching facts Cue conspiracy club in crisis theories and people ever more willing to talk the club down And whats your view on this Richard? Our first team coach leaves at the beginning of our busiest calendar month of the year. What do you think of the coaching situation at our club? we need a new one One?? Is it not more like 2 or 3? well one has left so you'd think we need to replace him Only if you thought our coaching situation was adequate. It isn't and this is reflected in how clueless our players look at times. We are a mess at the moment.

villa4europe Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 meulensteen who managed in the prem last season and before that was an assistant at utd? no chance, he'd want a managers job at a guess, he's currently a consultant at philadelphia union which probably isnt a bad life phelan maybe but i thought he'd gone for a few interviews for championship managers roles (for some reason i thought blues had interviewed him) so again im not sure hed want it the only reason for either of those 2 joining us would be the same reason i thought keane had joined us, the impression that lambert on thin ice and expected to be a caretaker manager by christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Word from the training ground is that a number of "senior players" had complained about his attitude and were blaming him for certain "issues" within the camp ..... but I have no idea what they are. It definitely is NOT a move that has anything to do with Ireland ..... he was pushed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the gym at the time, and relying on subtitles though so it may not be a reliable account of what was said. I would guess that Lambert wouldn't want to appoint Meulensteen, for the reason that he is a likely candidate to take over from him. See Jol and Meulensteen at Fulham.

donnie Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I get the feeling he was sacked rather then quit on his own accord. He had a bust up with Gabby and presumably other players so something else must have happened. LOL to anyone who thinks it was because he wanted to spend more time with his family. Quitting on the eve of an important game and over 3 months to an Ireland game. Not even Keane is that unprofessional and stupid. No way was it because of that.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted November 28, 2014 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I've been told by an excellent source that it centres on a training ground bust up with Gabby Agbonlahor yesterday. Seems a pathetic reason to leave but given his history doesn't surprise me. And that is utter cobblers Considering it was from someone who was there it isnt. So jog on. Sure they were... Yep they were. I don't know who to believe! Trent who has a pretty good history of getting information right from the club. Or donnie who has a history of admitting to posting various things just go get a reaction. Who should I listen to? THINK, STEVO. THINK!

John Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I cannot see Gabby standing up to Keane as there would only ever be one winner. Given Ireland do not have a flood of games coming up that reason also does not stand up unless it is linked with a need to spend more time at home due to family issues. But it was his choice to go or if it was not it is water under the bridge now and like many that leave us we may not find out why any time soon. The issue now is not Roy but getting someone in quickly who will improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
