24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just spoken on sports week. All but sacked DIckov on air... Still theoretically open to keeping him, but only theoretically. Are they holding talks later today or tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 What did he say? Says he has "no idea" whether PD will be manager next week. Also says Dickov has to say something "pretty special" when they sit down and discuss where they go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4oakslatic Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I felt like he spoke about him in the past tense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 To be fair, I am :censored:ing embarrassed about this now. All this if, buts, maybe's, I would rather this be dealt with internally rather than blasted to the media. This is a circus act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If so, VERY unprofessional of Corney. Now's not the time to be going on National Radio anyway but if he's going to sack him, do it officially first. I think Dickov should be sacked, but there's a right way to do it.

Magic Mikey Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 To be fair, I am :censored:ing embarrassed about this now. All this if, buts, maybe's, I would rather this be dealt with internally rather than blasted to the media. This is a circus act. I agree. Talk to the media after you have made a decision and informed PD. Whatever footballing shortcomings there may have been, he deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Lukers1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This should have been played out infront of the board at a private location and whatever the outcome post officially by the clubs website. Blabbing to the media ( who really dont care about the club) just smacks of what we really are, a club run like a sack of :censored:, both on the pitch and behind the scenes.

Midsblue Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Do you think the stress of running this club is getting to him? Stop playing to the media - sack him, move on and bring someone in to kick the players up the arse. I'd take Dowie. If my boss was supposedly my mate, I'd be right pissed off should they play the sword of Damocles out in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown23 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is he trying to get Dickov to walk? going on the radio, putting the writing on the wall almost giving Dickov no other option, get him to walk and we don't have to pay him off. Agree with Lukers though, this is getting embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killens_physio Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 In my opinion I think SC is hoping that Dickov will resign thus avoiding the pay off. Cant think of any other reason for him going down the route of constantly undermining him. For all his shortcomings as a manager for which there are many, he still deserves to be told behind closed doors whether he is backed or sacked. We all know though the PD is unlikely to resign and for the sake of our future in League One this needs clearing up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinevillawill Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Simon: You hang up! Paul: No, you hang up! Simon: Nooo, you hang up! etc. I wish either SC or PD would grow a set and sack or walk. This media show is getting tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesidg Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Maybe the decision is already made , and he's spoken to PD, just not announced officially. Whichever, playing out in public before any official announcement is not professional . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoasis Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ... Corney loves the attention!! It's been obviously from the very start that he's trying to force Dickov to walk, he had hoped that cutting all his staff would be the final straw and he would resign! He looked very uncomfortable on breakfast tv last week after the cup win when he clearly was hoping to be hunting for a new manager not celebrating being Liverpool SC should had made a decision weeks ago rather than playing games. More :censored:ed up decisions by our 'so called' owner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown23 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ...and the club are then dragged through the court with a constructive dismissal case Not what we want! I doubt Dickov would do that though to be fair. If he wants to make it as a manager, with :censored: all on his CV and then sues his previous employer (rightly or wrongly), if I was a chairman looking at signing him he wouldn't be a very attractive proposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I assume Simon was invited to speak on the programme and then had to answer the question put to him. Had he refused after always, it seems, being available they would have assumed PD was on his way out. I think SC has tried to get PD to improve and these appeals in public are just another way, a last resort, of trying to get PD to do better. He doesn't want to sack him for two reasons, money and friendship, and would prefer PD to negotiate a resignation rather than stubbornly hanging on flailing away out of his depth before being sacked.

They then get new jobs as managers and we'll then public enemy #1 within the LMA fraternity....don't expect any more loanees from Taggart in future then! It stinks......If any of us possessed the same performance records as PD in our jobs then we would be searching the sit vacs long before now!
