Sounds like some disgruntled under-8s coach who thinks he's Pep. Completely unprofessional too. Don't dismiss this out of hand, it's not just one coach!

One many of us may not agree with, sure, but what makes it a sackable offence? I think if I started telling other people what I thought of my boss, or someone up the chain in such a manner, I think I'd be sacked for gross misconduct. You're allowed opinions, but keep them to yourself if it's bad opinions of those in your workplace. Especially a company (club) that is very much in the public eye.

It’s not an Employee - Employee relationship. The person being told this has no affiliation to BCFC. It’s no different to you going home to your wife and saying “I ******* hate my boss”. I’ve done that 100 times. If I was to suggest you should be sacked for speaking candidly to your mrs you’d think I was a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. We’re not customers. We’re fans. I doubt the poster will stop supporting BCFC because he was told this. Look, as I said, it’s an opinion that many people may not like or agree with, but it’s pretty far from a sackable offence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you work for the North Korean government? Not agreeing with someone, or have an issue with someone is not a stackable offence. How you chose to express that might make it one, but holding and articulating that opinion view certainly isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Is it odd that there's not actually been a press announcement regarding Pearson's step back? Nothing on the OS in print. Just the audio and video interviews from Gould. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure one of those nonsense city facebook pages are talking about it. Yep, that’s the rumour doing the rounds…..I dismissed it as bollox when I heard a variant of it at 8am on Monday. And it was from someone different to the person who DMd me “Nige gone”. Hence why I didn’t put it on OTIB. For some reason I hear lots of stuff, most I don’t bother taking seriously, or I’ll do a bit of digging, e.g. Whatmough free transfer last April / May, which proved to be fake / wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
