He said it yesterday after the West Ham win. Not to Evertontv of course, just the rest of the wanking media.
Thanks for the heads up, missed that one
I used the teacher example because a teacher can join a school that may be in competition with for pupils. That teacher will go for an interview and accept the job months before they join that competitor. They work their notice and it is expected that they continue to give 100% to the school they are leaving. In fact no one questions whether they will give their all whilst they are still working at the school.
If an Apple executive was to hand their notice in to go to Samsung one of the reasons they are escorted off the premises is due to business sensitivity. But the executive has that anyway. Just like Moysey will have inside knowledge of us and like the next manager will have inside information of the club they leave.
It was right that Moyes was allowed to work his notice for the last 2 games, and gets paid until the 30th. June, and wasn't 'escorted out of the building'.
Moyes will be history from the end of the Chelsea game on Sunday, and we have to deal with that fact, and move on to the next chapter in our great history.
A teacher is a poor example, what sensitive information is a teacher going to take with them? What competition is a teacher going to give to the previous school?
In the industry I've worked in, if you go to a competitor you're immediately on gardening leave. You'll even get escorted off the premises, not because people are being funny, but because you've immediately got a conflict of interest.
If you work in an admin or service role, you're probably not going to be asked to leave and be expected to work your notice. If you're in a strategic or sales role, I can't think of many companies that would want you to stay and work your notice.
Moyes is in both a strategic and a sales/ buying role, it's unprofessional of him not to wait a measly week before he goes. His comments about us never attaining the heights of the 80's again, are as low as Rafael's small club comment. I'll always appreciate what he's done for us over the last 11 years, but I've just lost all respect for him.
