Nick Barmby suspended by Hull City

Interesting. Apparently something to do with his comments after the game against West Ham in which he put 'pressure' on the owners to deliver promises they had made to the players/fans.

Ooooooooooooldddddddddddddddd

My bad, I've been away from the news all day. Link me to the topic?

It wasn't a topic, was just being discussed in the Championship thread.

kk close this

No it deserves it's own thread

Most people wont be bothered anyway, I'll keep it in the Championship thread.

Is he your full time manager? How can you suspend a manager?

Yeah he was appointed permanent manager a while back, can't remember the contract length. 2 or 3 years I think. And easy, he's an employee of the club

Stupid reason to suspend someone, your owners seem like cunts.

I remember he was player-manager, didn't remember him get it permanently And I meant, I thought only players could get suspended, how does it work, is he not allowed to take training and stuff?

He didn't get suspended, he walked out on Hull. Seeing as despise Hull this is glorious news!

Listened to it before. He was only saying he needed investment in the squad.

Allam (their chairman) is apparently worth 400 Million, don't know why he couldn't invest in the squad.

But the seasons over?

He hasn't walked out... He has been suspended, just no official announcement yet. Wouldn't surprise me if he refuses to carry on though.

He has already invested £40m into the club to make it debt free. He isn't even interested in football, he said he wants to give back to the city that made him what he is... Which is also the reason he is rumoured to want to buy Hull Kr (already donated money to them) and invest in sports facilities around Hull to help the community.

Which is why they've done it now. I assume so it doesn't interfere with the fixtures etc.

What's the point though, it's not much of a punishment?

They probably want to make him quit? I don't know.
