Marcus just called

"All will be revealed in due course..."

"All will be revealed in due course..."

I do hope so. I really do.

I'm sure that a man with the confidence of Marcus Bullshit would go for unfair dismissal if he was on a winner.  Then all aspects of his dismissal would be examined.
HOPEFULLY ON A PUBLIC FORUM.

My money is nothing happening.

Just out of interest Grants what do you think ?????

He can't go for unfair dismissal as he had been in the job for under 2 years, unless he can prove discrimination on the grounds of race, age or sexuality or if the club had committed a serious breach of H&S that had put him at risk. Also if it went to tribunal it would where at all possible (big ask these days) be kept confidential until a decision had been reached................Then again someone that self absorbed could come out with anything.

I think that the step up to the FL came at the wrong time. If it had been in the summer and he'd had time to plan and learn what running a professional team was like, he'd have been a lot more successful. He's not entirely blameless. He got ahead of himself about player contracts and who'd signed, who hadn't. My thinking is that Fenty had said yes to Marcus on a number of issues, like the contracts of Clifton, the poor facilities, the YT but never went through with any of it because of the money involved. Bignot should've just kept quiet.

He has the ambition and potential to become a decent manager but there are definitely things he needs to work on.

But............ allowed him to buy a load of players, recruit Gary  (I'll set the cones out) Whilde and contrary to what MB said set aside the money for a S&C coach. Facilities? well the season before whilst we where in the NL quite a few GTFC players came out and said they where better than some FL clubs. Oh yeah there was the thing about the pitch at Cheapside too, moaning about the condition of it but not accepting numerous offers to use other pitches in the town reeked of excuse making.

The biggest problem with Marcus is that he is very arrogant and expected players to win his respect without him attempting to win theirs, in a successful working relationship things work really well with mutual respect which is won by both sides. Check back on all his numerous sound bytes when did he ever accept accountability for any of his actions or the team performance?  

He certainly has a lot to work on based upon  his time at GTFC he could start on player engagement, tactics, selection policy, game plans, training sessions (apparently), net transfer, defending players in the media and not coming out with total bollox when asked a straight question. Work on that and he may fulfil his potential.    

Probably much truth in both the last 2 posts.its almost as though he was a child let loose in a sweet and chocolate emporium. He changed too much too quickly when there was no need and he was probably out of his depth having progressed too far too quickly., at that's from someone who thought it was the perfect appointment. I still think he will make a decent manager, he just needs a halfway house, somewhere like barrow or Gateshead etc where he can make his mark without the scrutiny he was under at town. Looking back it was too big a difference from being an occasional paragraph in the Birmingham evening mail to being the daily lead story on the back page of the get and he just couldn't cope
