Ron W Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Not unheard of if SL or someone feels compelled to face the media but would certainly be unusual for a press call to essentially announce a sacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers are normally three or four twitter announcements and a couple of OS articles.
