Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’m guessing we’re all in love with Purslow again, because the CEO is responsible for everything at the club and Danks seems to be a good interim manager and our players actually seem capable of kicking a football after all? Or is only the bad stuff his fault? 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Purslow wasn't even the one who sacked Gerrard so no. He gets no credit for today. Nassef Sawiris did what needed to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the inevitable it was only because Sawiris got angry at Fulham etc. Purslow would have rode it out with his " mate " until were were in the Championship etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow would definitely have waited until it was too late, and maybe already did considering the games we have coming up. I’m not sure if you’re being tongue in cheek or sarcastic, but had this fool acted earlier we could have had some much needed points on the board already.

NOBODY on here knows what the facts are, they just choose a character they don't like, assume a story, and proceed to regurgitate it as fact. YES, he can probably be blamed for pushing the hire in the first place, yes, he might be to blame for holding off sacking for a bit too long, but the rest is just assumption presented as fact. Do you think he foresaw how things would go and purposely moved to sabotage the club and put his own position in danger? There are reports that the board have had reservations for months and have been looking at replacements.

Jareth Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Purslow is in the mud for a reason. Players showed today how good they are and how much they need leadership. SG was a vanity project and Purslow must be humble after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow cannot claim Jack's been replaced with x3 talents, then oversee a manager who does not play them. The guy is good in the board room, but not so much when it comes to the footballing side of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Pinebro said: Sawiris storming out furious and Gerrard being sacked like 1 hour after? Or far more likely, a consensus had been reached between all relevant parties before the game that this was last chance saloon and all agreed he would be sacked if we lost the game. Meanwhile Sawiris stormed out of the game because he was angry about the performance. Which is an isolated and unrelated thing because Gerrard was already going to be sacked anyway. Or maybe Sawiris Stormed out of the match and organised a conference call with Edens that Purslow jumped in on and the all jointly agreed there and then that he was sacked. Or maybe Sawiris stormed out and called Edens and agreed to sack him and told Purslow this was their decision which Purslow then agreed and said he was going to recommend anyway. Or maybe they had all jointly decided to sack him a couple of weeks ago and were currently waiting for a new manager before doing the deed but Sawiris was so angry he decided to just do it straight away. Or maybe Sawiris stormed out early but had calmed down by the end of the game and decided to spare Gerrard but Purslow then spoke to him and advised him he was now recommending his dismissal. It could have gone down in ANY of these ways and the truth is no one knows except for those involved. Edited October 23, 2022 by sidcow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you statement from any of the board, including Christian, tells you he was just as part of the decision to sack him. People just want to assume the worst about him because of Gerrard and the nonsense that gets peddled about him in quotes that he never spoke of.

blandy Posted October 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2022 Some posts have been removed. Please could you remain civil, not argue the same points over and over and remain on topic (don't talk about players, ex-managers etc. in this thread) Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
