A contract for a length of time is just that. It's different to regular employment and breaking a contract involves reparations from the party that broke it. Tomassons efforts to get out of his contract were reprehensible imo and could lead us to league 1 oblivion.
Different to regular employment?
Are you serious
Its a job........end of......It might be a fancied notion for someone with no talent for it like me and you...but at professional level...its a job
You go where the best deal for you and your family are
Maybe his wife was threatening to leave him unless they moved
Maybe his kids are having a bad time and he beeds to be at home more

The bottom line is - we havent a fucking clue what has gone on but what I can say looking in......if the Venkys were my boss....I would be looking for an out, and probably by lunch time on my first day!!

Sadly with JDT it became about him. The players were unhappy. He turned into the most egotistical manager I have seen at Ewood. He had to go.

What can't speak,can't lie. I couldnt help thinking during yesterday's match that both clubs were stronger under Tony Mowbray and I'm sure not even the most fervant 'anti' Mowbray can deny it. It's a feature of the Venkys tenure is sacking decent managers and going rapidly downhill under the next manager. Relegation shortly followed the sackings of Allardyce and Bowyer and it could happen again.

Groundhog Gaz must have been the worst Championship manager we had.

Just take a look back at that squad he had, to not get them top 6 was criminal - they would stuff our current lot.

When I think of him I immediately recalling drawing with Yeovil bloody Town at home.

Grounhog Gaz could spot a player though. Like Tony Mowbray he made some good money for the club by bringing in talent and selling them on. Don't make the mistake of judging a manager on League tables alone. It'd be interesting to view the balance sheet of each manager that we've had.
Obviously KMD using bundles of Jacks cash in a period of inflatiung player values doubled up on the money that Jack laid out but Hughes made a fortune for the club by shrewd judgement. Bowyer did good whilst Mowbray also made money, even though by this time Freedom of Contract was skewing the playing field.
When I think of money spewed by the likes of Hodgson, Souness, and worst of all those two who shall not be named it makes me weep.
