Just on BBC Tees

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:31 pm

Just to clarify that this is NOT a joke. Was mentioned just 5 mins ago on Tees, further reaction on us after 6pm. I suppose at least it saves us any compensation pay off.

knoxy5000 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:32 pm

Seriously?? I had bbc tees on the radio for the game, but it doing my head as all they ever talk about is boro, like people say on the forum it should be named bbc boro

Quakerz · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:33 pm

Respect to him, he could have held on for a pay off.

Its not worked and he has held his hands up.

Also, get in!

knoxy5000 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:33 pm

Just heard ali brownlee say it

quakerray · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:34 pm

so who do we want in?
i'll be guessing liddle and maddison for now to save money

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:35 pm

Yeah I decided to carry on listening as i cba to turn off the radio and turn it back on after 6! I too respect him for resigning, whether or not you were joking Quakerz im not sure

, but respect to him with our situation etc and not wanting to take more money off his.

knoxy5000 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:35 pm

Did he jump or was he pushed ???

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:36 pm

Hopefully he'll do his interview after 6pm

Quakerz · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:36 pm

No seriously, respect to him. He probably appreciates the club couldn't pay him off and did them a favour.

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:38 pm

I presume this also means Windass has gone. Not sure if anyone else heard the interview he did at half time? Poor commitment from him tbh, said he'd rather be playing for Hull than be our assistant manager which maybe lots of people would, but it's not something he should be saying.

KCChiefs · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:38 pm

Wonder if we now go for Gary Speed....

Vodka_Vic · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:38 pm

Thanks colin for stepping in during troubled times and putting a team together, albeit a poor one, meaning we could at least take our place in League 2.
I wasn't your biggest fan, but respect you for what you did under troubled times.

BishopQuaker · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:39 pm

Respect to him for resigning rather than being sacked.

Hopefully thus leaves us with enough time to save the season i.e. stay up.

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:40 pm

Apparently they're going to Blundell Park soon on BBC Tees, presumably for an interview

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:41 pm

Decision made on Thursday that he would leave and only take charge today :shock:

Didn't hear that interview, but if he said that it is a disgrace,

Vodka_Vic · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:42 pm

It had been agreed midweek (Thursday).
The rumours that he'd lost the dressing room were utterly untrue.
Players were shocked.
Windass also expected to go.

knoxy5000 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:42 pm

Just heard it that windass might still be there at the club, ray simpson said colin said in the interview that windass wont get the job

BishopQuaker · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:43 pm

Well thats reassuring.

I wonder if the team knew that he would only be in temporary command today

reddy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:43 pm

has windass40 gone to?

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:44 pm

I dont think the players knew, sounded like he told them afterwards and they were shocked. Full interview after the hour I think.

Darlo_H · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:45 pm

It's been coming, I don't think any of us (besides darlo2001) could really deny that.

I share the respect to him for saving us a payoff, maybe this is his strange way of going out on a high, who knows, time to get the kick up the arse this club so desperately needs.

DIRTYDAVE · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:45 pm

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:47 pm

Presumably, if it was decided on Thursday, Raj has someone lined up. Who was it who said to expect someone special?? Are you in the know whoever you are!?

Maybe it's his way of salvaging some pride, by doing the honourable thing.
I certainly respect his decision.

al_quaker · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:51 pm

I respect his decision. He's been good enough to get us a team together from nothing so we could play in L2 this season. It's half decent on paper too. Something isn't working, be it tactics, selections or whatever. I don't claim to be an expert so I'm not going to try and guess what needs to be done to put it right, but Todd must realise it isn't working, so I respect him for that. Now, time to kick start our season!

Quakerz · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:51 pm

Hmm, so it was agreed the other day that he would resign? Maybe he did agree a severance package to "resign" then.

Shieldsy · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:54 pm

Mutual Consent apparently, so there could well be some sort of package, who knows. Definitely won't be the full amount a sacking would have required though.

Some interesting comments from Windass at half time though, was pre recorded for BBC Humberside before the match and played on Tees at ht, he said he was more likely to be ball boy for Hull City next week if we didn't get a result today.

number_one · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:54 pm

Gutted, I won't be going back!!

Hodgy in..he'll get us back to Feethams and the promised land
