Wellsie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 A full and accurate statement is now on the official club website. Your Thanet / Kent News (same organisation) have been inaccurate in their "EXCLUSIVE". As you'll see from the statement, the club had decided not to renew Iain's contract for next season. Unfortunately, a statement would have been on our website first thing this morning but I was uncontactable - the directors did try (a lot!) to get hold of me to publish the statement. We do remain committed to telling the fans first but on this occasion, it proved impossible to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pridders Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) the club had decided not to renew Iain's contract for next season. Have I not been saying that's been my thinking of what might happen for a few weeks, yet I was derided (by some) as some sort of deluded madman who didn't know what he was speaking about! Clearly! So he wasnt sacked? Well, in a round-a-bout way yes he was. Edited March 18, 2011 by Pridders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsie Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 What I'd also like to add is that as far as I can be aware, none of the directors (or me for that matter) spoke to the media before we got the statement out on the official website.

Wellsie Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's not a shot at anyone - simply to make it clear that we did not seek to tell other press / media before the supporters. Sometimes these things happen in a way you'd rather they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pridders Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Also, (no disrespect to the players) why have they put Cloke, Pinno & Wilson in charge of team affairs for the Hendon game. That is a ridiculous decision - Those three by intents and purposes will be on the pitch in your starting XI - I know first hand that you can't manage effectively on the park, that's why player/managers have assistants etc Edited March 18, 2011 by Pridders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillinghamboy1947 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Perhaps Wellsie could tell us why the club statement implies that IOC walked out because he was told his contract was not being renewed. Sources close to the club have confirmed that he was sacked with "immediate effect". Will IOC be interviewed by Wellsie to tell us how it actually was?

Twist&Shout Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I doubt he will be interviewed and its pathetic why the club can't just tell the truth in an honest answer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist&Shout Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Does interview matter? Or the truth do you mean? I think to be honest an interview is pointless!! But believe us fans deserve the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
