RedRock Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The World needs more Gordon’s! Gordon Strachan tore up his contract, walked away voluntarily with no compensation from his job at ‘Boro. For that he gained enormous respect and still, what, nearly a decade on I remember that act. Respect to Gordon. Can’t see that happening here myself. I suspect that despite £££ of Uncle Steve’s money, he will hang on as long as he can and then maximise his compensation. City fan my a**e. Lets hope our CEO’s reputation for hard negotiations extended to performance clauses to manager contract terminations. PS To the Commercial Team. I know you used a picture of CoD kissing the badge to promote tonight’s match on BCTV either as a bit of a joke or as the only player you thought would be guaranteed a starting place. Please, though, don’t use a picture of Johnson doing the same for your next TV promotion, there’s good lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Lee believes in himself, even if others don’t. He’s here because he can do a job. No need to insult the bloke by doubting his motives. If he ultimately fails, it won’t be for lack of effort or belief, and the suggestion that’s he taking the club for a ride is completely unwarranted.

"Gordon Strachan has resigned as Middlesbrough manager after less than a year in charge at the Riverside. Strachan departed with the club in 20th place in the Championship, their lowest league position for 20 years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he thought he’s not got the qualities to manage a football club. Doesn’t set aside he’s got decent principles in terms of termination of a contract when he is not getting the players to perform to their potential.

No insult and none intended on Johnson as far as I’m concerned. My only question is this, a true City fan or like CoD, just ‘kissing the badge’. Put it this way, if I was a City fan and had served up much of what we had witnessed over the last 18 months at The Gate, if I had delivered two performances post lockdown that are amongst the worst I have witnessed in 50 + years, if I saw our promotion hopes dissolving and if I was a wealthy man and had been given every opportunity by the owner .... would I now do a Gordon? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erndogz Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I saw Strachan lob Gary Bailey from about 25 yards and Man united's training ground The Cliff back in the day. Not only was it a wonder goal but he royally took the piss by rubbing Bailey's Blonde locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We've played crap the last two games and prior to the lockdown but you are way too dramatic about the situation. He's gonna get atleast till the end of the season so you may aswell get used to it. Pulling out the moral high card for him to decide to make himself unemployed is madness. How much he's earning or earned doesn't give you the right to say he should rip up his contract. You don't know his personal outgoings. Moving away from your ramblings about him not being a proper fan. With respect of his future I think it's on shaky ground if we carry on losing with drab performances and rightly so he'll be under scrutiny but do we really need another thread discussing that. Get a grip I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip I say. The Club don’t view me as a ‘fan’ but a ‘customer’. No longer a ‘shareholder’, as I gave my shares to the foundation a couple of months back. But I would say ‘Customers’ and ‘Shareholders’ (albeit past) have a right, as far as I’m concerned, to comment on their ‘product’, how it is run, including how much people are paid and their contracts. That’s what happens in the real business world. BTW no chance of Johnson becoming unemployed, we’ve heard on many occasions how sought after he is. I’m sure he would just step into a job in the Premiership if he left us - didn’t he once say he’d turned down offers? Apologies in advance if I’m wrong.
