Topsham Red Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 So much speculation and drivel posted on this thread its ridiculous! If Johnson wasn't going to be in charge for today's game and was on gardening leave it would all be out in the press by now. Especially as he would have travelled up with the squad yesterday! its amazing what people believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have been aware of it before then? I wonder if Chelsea did indeed pass that information on and perhaps that's why they're allegedly so angry about this incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspensions whilst a full investigation takes place. Just to put on record, I'm just as dubious as any of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently tried to get speculation banned on OTIB, but did not get my petition off the launch pad. If the moderators were a bit more professional about things and got off their backsides once in a while things could be so much better. It's the weekend, too, so they will all be out wasting money in the shops and then getting pissed. Nothing will happen to monday at the earliest. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well it was on the news yesterday because my mum saw it - she only paid attention because she knows i follow the club, so if she know's I imagine many others do. The worst thing that could happen is if we damage our reputation with Chelsea, especially if other Prem clubs also blacklist us - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 So here's a question/hypothesis. I know a good old hypothesis is frowned upon on here but play along... If LJ has been given the boot because he was allegedly involved in the TA car crash, do we still have to pay his wages as we would if he'd got the boot for being a crapper manager? I suppose I mean, does allegedly being involved in this incident warrant the immediate termination of his contract and not having to pay the gardening leave?

Are they going to refuse to play us? Chelsea better watch out, as they might be wanting OUR players on loan one day. tfj P.S. Say hi to your Mom for us.

Big C Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 as this happened after the Burnley haven't we played two games since then with both Tammy and LJ in attendance. Wouldn't LJ be put on gardening leave immediately? Or do people think it's only because OTIB has got wind of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to stand up in a court is it? Judge: "Why did you kill John Smith?" Defendant: "He (his boss) told me to" Judge: "Er, why didn't you just say no if you knew it to be breaking the law?" Defendant: "He told me, he's the boss" Judge: "Thats not a defence" Correct it's not a defence but it makes 'his boss' guilty of conspiracy to murder (if true of course). It doesn't have anything to do with anybody ordering anybody, it's all about how the keys of AM's car came into TA's possession and who knew about it and could have prevented it. The point here is not about whether or not LJ has done anything at all wrong from a legal point of view it's far more about behaviour unbecoming his position at BCFC and how it reflects upon his position as manager and BCFC as his employers. Of course it's all speculation at the moment but something certainly it ain't right, that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stortz Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 So, as it stands there is not a shred of genuine proof that the various conspiracy theories are true, but many people are taking myriad imaginary scenarios as fact and, of course, blaming Lee Johnson.

alexukhc Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I just think people are thinking too much, unless we actually have a few ITK's no one really knows, maybe club officials do read this and have decided to read into what's been said and if already investigated once it's hit press there is further problems. I'm slso very surprised that the club haven't announced anything yet and having Pembo and Holden doing the game conferences something does seem to be up, so cmon City, tell us what's up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case all party's would want it to go away quietly. SL will not drag the club through the courts. Thus a negotiated pay off would be most likely. My god if any of this is true, WTF!

Fordy62 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 41 minutes ago, cynic said: Banned or licence revoked ? Totally different scenarios. Are they? My understanding is that they're the same. I know that you can be disqualified which is subtly different from disqualified until test passed. And I think it's about the amount of time you're banned for. If I remember correctly disqualified for over 8 weeks and you have to apply for a new license; I.e a new provisional. For under 8 weeks and you can continue on your old one. Either way, I'm not sure if Tammy was banned or not.... I could find out, but it'd probably cost me in excess of £684,000, so I'll probably not bother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
