Jimbo 133 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Newcastle terminate Bond contract Newcastle have terminated the contract of assistant manager Kevin Bond. Bond was placed on gardening leave after a BBC Panorama programme secretly recorded him saying he would consider receiving payments from an agent. The coach, who was at Portsmouth at the time, says he has never been interested in receiving bungs and is expected to sue the BBC for libel. "Newcastle has terminated Kevin Bond's contract," read a statement on the Premiership club's official website. Bond ended his long association with Harry Redknapp in July by leaving Portsmouth to become Glenn Roeder's number two at Newcastle. Now reports suggest Lee Clark could be promoted to work alongside Roeder. Bond's camp stated his intention to sue when his solicitor, David Price, said: "The short extract from my client's conversation with the reporter was taken out of context and presented in a completely misleading manner."

Gemmill 36183 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Could we not be in danger of getting sued by Bond for this? If he's suing the BBC then surely we're in the firing line now for ditching him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikko 20 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Lee Clark as number 2 is not something that fills me with confidence. I'd much rather Roeder went back and found someone with genuine experience not anal olivers love child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 36183 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Lee Clark has nowhere near the experience to be a number 2. The number 2 is supposed to be a relatively experienced head that the manager can turn to to bounce ideas off. Clark is so inexperienced that his only response to Roeder bouncing ideas off him will be "Errr, aye that sounds about right." I know everyone needs to start somewhere but ffs he's only had one or two season's worth of coaching experience, and he wasn't considered eligible for the job when we brought Bond in, so he shouldn't be eligible for it now. The fast tracking that Clark is getting is all down to his geordie accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6368 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Feel a bit sorry for the bloke TBQH - although there was implication by what was in the programme, there was nothing concrete to prove he was receiving bungs. What's more, it had been considered for some time that Harry was anything but kosher and by virtue of his long association with Redknapp, it's no great surprise that fingers have been pointed in Bond's direction. A bit of a panic move by NUFC IMO. Will we owe the bloke any compensation for this or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Roeder seemed to work well together last season and he is likely to command respect from the players as a result of him being the captain previously. Probably be unable to though as he appears to be becoming a regular fixture on MOTD these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9031 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 So we are short of two actually qualified coaches now. More jobs at NUFC for Mr. Vacant. GREAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Once again the club looks like a complete joke. A couple of months into his job we sack the bloke beacuse of some allegations without making any investigation into them and then we appoint someone without anything the qualifications to replace him. Yet again we are showing that with the current administration we will never be anything but a punchline for the jokes of others. I have absolutely no expectations to ever see us back amongst the elite clubs in this country let alone actually win anything. I am now back in exactly the same frame of mind towards this joke of a club as I was when Souness was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now back in exactly the same frame of mind towards this joke of a club as I was when Souness was in charge. Sadly, I agree.. Shambles, it really is. The state of the squad, the total lack of qualified coaches. We are a Premiership football team ffs. All of this stems from the man at the top - if an unprofessional tone is set at the top of an organisation then it permeates to all levels. There isn't another team in the division run like this. Whether Clark gets the job or not, we still need qualified coaches bringing in IMMEDIATELY. What's the bets we make do with what we've got, despite being 2 coaches down on what we started the season with. Expect our already poor performances to deteriorate if we don't sort this out.

wellsy 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Why dont we get some European influence into our coaching system?

Craig 6368 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The following statement from Kevin Bond was issued via his legal advisors on Tuesday, following confirmation from Newcastle United that he had been relieved of his position with immediate effect: "I am extremely disappointed that Newcastle United Football Club has chosen to terminate my contract without carrying out any proper investigation into the allegations made against me in Panorama. "My lawyers will shortly be going to court to compel the BBC to release full transcripts of the recordings. "Rather than waiting for this and the outcome of any FA investigation, NUFC have made their decision solely on the basis of a few sentences carefully selected and edited by Panorama. "I intend to pursue all legal avenues to vindicate my reputation and restore my career and livelihood." Bond left Portsmouth in July of this year to take up the post of assistant to Glenn Roeder. However he found himself on so-called gardening leave after it became known that he would feature in a BBC Panorama programme, being absent from the first team squad that travelled to Estonia and failing to reappear after.

Gemmill 36183 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Feel a bit sorry for the bloke. You get involved with a dodgy prick like Redknapp, and before you know it you're jobless and your reputation is a mess. I don't know the extent of his involvement in any of it, but not a nice time for him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
