I'm also not surprised that Ole let it happen. I met him several times while he was our manager and as a person, I've got only good things to say about him - a very nice person.
But he isn't a good manager and he was weak during his time with us.
Maybe some journalists will ask Neil Harris questions about this, but I would expect the press officer to tell them that Harris won't be answering any questions relating to this.

At the time of this episode he was a multi millionaire and a highly thought of up and coming manager
If it was true about all this interference all he had to do was walk away, speak to the press and tell them he refused to be bullied and work under those conditions
He wouldn’t have had a relegation on his CV, he would have gained respect and almost certainly been given another chance at aanother biggish club
Instead he kept his mouth shut and took the big pay off, which is all a bit gutless

Ned,
Like you I liked Ole as a person, but def was not a good manager.
You do know Ole after being sacked called an emergency press conference in Norway and invited the media from Wales / England, then suddenly cancelled it, I was told he was paid £3mill pay off and had to sign a confidentiality paper and not talk about City to the media.

Never said it was just pointing out the fact that its been happening for many many years at lots of clubs so nothing new.... and it's been put on here several times over the years about interference with city managers... like said unless your josè ect it will continue to happen unfortunately buisness men tend to do this as it's their money being spent how many times you hear of players not being played because of contract clauses in appearance and owner says cannot play him ect ..... its not right but it happens

Sam stood at the back of the Bob Bank in the queue for Arsenal (?? not sure of the actual queue) tickets and spoke to the queue telling them how he had told the manager not to pick certain players and how others would be sold because he didn't like/trust them !!
I suppose that's OK then ?

Given that he hardly played the same team week by week it's stretching it to blame team selection on anyone but that alleged manager.
One way or the other, OGS either didn't have the guts to stand up to the owners or didn't have the guts to tell a player he was dropped![]()
If you ask me Cala was a better centre back than Turner at Prem level anyway so if he wasn't dropping Turner himself he should have![]()
