RedM Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Loco Rojo said: God, can you imagine if this was true? If i was in John Eustace's shoes i'd be considering legal action for wrongful dismissal or something. There must be grounds for some sort of legal action if this was the reason for it. Probably almost impossible to prove, and like someone has said take the payoff and be glad you are outta there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit they would throw some money at it too unlike the current incumbent post Scott sale! balancing act , careful what you wish for , I would honestly say more take overs etc go tits up and end up with the club in turmoil than are a success, this is where I think Lansdown has us over a barrel , most of us ( I think ) now want change BUT ?.pits a big but 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 What a farcical decision, based on the turnover of squad he’s overseen in the summer and the start they’ve made. Hope the “Bluenoses” take a nose dive from here…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 3 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: You think not @grifty ? New owners of clubs tend to want their own man sooner or later, this is a prime example. I am still unhappy with the amount we spent in the summer post Scott and given he went but who knows if a hypothetical owner would get rid of NP. It would be shocking to us and grossly unfair but it's a common occurrence in football. I'm very much NP in and tbh a new 2-3 year deal and a bigger budget is what's required IMO. I hate that emoji along with the thinking one. It allows people to rubbish ( a bit strong maybe ) your opinion without actually debating it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Just read that Rooney is on 3 x the wage of Eustace! That plus a payoff or partial payoff or pay until new job found, will shrink the FFP headroom a little more. Finances aside, think he had his good points and bad points at Derby. After a rocky start carried himself well during the administration for the most part, gained 55 pts albeit they rightly got 21 deducted the whole 12 and 9 respectively, but assuming Birmingham don't go belly up he won't need to worry about that or multiple players leaving in January due to a disastrous financial position. Strong home record in his full season in charge. He also undeniably took, okay Derby is an attractive first job on paper, a tougher path than Lampard who took Derby when they were there or thereabouts and had money to throw at it and then to Chelsea then Everton or Gerrard who went Rangers, Aston Villa. Rooney at Derby mid November 2020 as caretaker and mid Janaury 2021 as permanent, Covid season, walls closing in FFP wise and the first signs of wider financial distress come Janaury 2021- bottom of the Championship too weren't they!

2015 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 The thing is the owner is probably thinking if John Eustace is trying to sign a player from abroad or Wayne Rooney is who are they more likely to want to sign for?
