Hey if you’re happy for the club to be wasting money behaving like this then fair enough. |

But what is the point of his agent getting an article written claiming the kid is desired by half of Europe….
Either to assuage his client, who is presumably not naive enough to believe it, or to make some fans believe that letting a make up the numbers kid from the EDS go is actually costing the club millions in transfer fees.. |

Fun peek behind the looking glass, the past 6-8 weeks people seen as pro-Cifuentes have been receiving PMs from new posters with almost identical wording to the original post, claiming that Cifuentes was hard work, a bit of a dick, actually not very good and disliked behind the scenes and that Nourry had the patience of a saint for putting up with him and deserved more love.
A nearly identical article appeared in that bastion of journalism The Hounslow Herald this week.
Now it *could* all be an enormous coincidence of course that this thread popped up right after a nice end of season win….. |

Nourry personally is a voracious reader of the fan sites. Which I get tbh, obviously it’s silly and they should be avoided but he’s an insecure and inexperienced guy who is extremely paranoid about what people think. |

As posted on the other thread, long story short it’s PR management at this point.
We *should* have acted like grown ups and gone ahead with the pre-written ‘mutual’ parting statement. However MC is popular and it wouldn’t reflect well on CN, especially when MC made clear it was an acrimonious parting.
Instead we have gone nuclear in besmirching Cifuentes as disloyal and actually not really all that good in the first place. It helps CN at the expense of making the club look like a basketcase……again…
Best case scenario is MC agrees to forego the payoff he is due. Reality is he will dig in and we will pay him up shortly so we can get on with replacing him. |

Mate I spent my bank holiday Thursday at a Swedish christening ceremony. Hopping on here and seeing pedants arguing over the finer points of UK business law is a blessed relief. |

Getting into the English football managerial merry go round with its frequent sackings and recycling is a lucrative career option. There will be plenty of interest in the job. |

They’re doing a decent job of insulating Nourry at the expense of Cifuentes, which is what they’re paid for. The club is just collateral damage of the egos involved. |

100%. That’s ego driving decisions though and an insecure and inexperienced leader being led by a PR consultant paid to make him look best, not the club look best. |

I mean Ruben does hold his own opinion and has stepped in as the adult in the room before when Nourry tried to sack Cifuentes and he was given an almighty slap and put back on his box.
Compensation was never going to happen because any interested club would immediately be told by his agent that the relationship was toxic and a parting was imminent.
At this point the club only really had two options:
1. Put up a statement saying we are mutually parting and we are paying a decently popular manager to leave
2. Go nuclear, besmirch Cifuentes publicly before mutually parting and paying a hopefully slightly less popular manager to leave
The situation was unsustainable and regardless of what Ruben might wish for, one side *had* to go now. Ultimately both sides *should* go, but that’s not something you can manage in a 6-8 weeks period. |

He got a chance last pre-season along with Bennie and Morgan but Cifuentes seemingly didn’t think he was up to much as he never gave him any more thought .
At 21 under Nourrys edict he would be up for release this summer but I would guess they might extend a few older ones through to January and let the new manager take a look next preseason |
