That's a fact not a rumour or whisper
He was dead man walking and must of been under terrible pressure
We unluckily lost and that was curtains for Warren.
Like Stan said sure he was a nice fella , certainly not another Sheridan but was not up to it .
possibly still isn't.
Anyway IMO the board that night did the correct thing but my oh my they got his replacement wrong big time.

Again I have no criticism of the appointment of Westley. Nor of his sacking. If there was an error made it was giving him too long a contract.

But wasn't it reported that we only had to pay Westley 3mths wages settlement? ..... Either that or i dreamt/made it up.

I suppose a candidate might say "No worries, I'll work without any job security". You might get really lucky and find it stems from confidence and not desperation for any job, but it's a heck of a risk.

For whatever reason the club were happy to inform us how much it cost to sack Butcher but not the cost of sacking Feeney or Westley.y

You are both correct. We were told 3 months wages but a monetary figure was never put on it.

Memory is a far from accurate thing. Believe me.

Edit

Someone may have said it at an unspecified meeting. Moving on, even if correct it wasn't Gavin was it? He doesn't attend meetings with supporters.

I'm sure it was reported in one of the Monthly Board statements (remember those?) ..

I don't doubt your belief. But where is this recorded. Who is accountable for saying it? You believe a monthly board statement, Amber believes a meeting. It could have been both, it could have been either, it could have been neither. But for the life of me all I want is to see where and when it was said and by whom.

Nearly relegated and never finished in the top half is one of our greatest eras?
