It sounds like it could be something like this. We wouldn't have had the Bonser quotes today if he was going to sack him today. There must be some sort of agreement with Merson to leave, and a replacement is being sought.


I think the Bonser quote came on Saturday afternoon after the match or over the weekend when a reporter turned up on his doorstep. Either way he would have been unprepared and - even if he was going to get rid of Merson - would not have said so until he it was confirmed.

The football rumours site says that Bonser and Whalley were due to meet with Kelly this afternoon.

The official site says nothing about a vote of confidence from the chairman, nothing about Saturday being our cup final and the match report from Saturday has been removed.

Something is definitely afoot. Expect movement and announcements shortly.

Brilliant, I am so glad this idiot is out of our club, and not before time.

Well Done MMF, Geordie, Joly [and thanks for keeping me in the know], Stu and Neil [& others] for mounting the pressure on the worst manager I've ever known. The club can now move forwards with a proper manager.

Couldn't quite believe what I was hearing from Joly, it seemed like he was stalking him... :lol: ...it's been a strange day, and I'd love to know when the decision was made.

Joly mentioned it might have had something to do with the London Boys / Bruce George getting something going, so well done to them.

Merson, I'd like to say Good Luck. You aint a manager. I just wonder why we have had to be a test bed for what has been a disasterous experiment.
