But likewise, for Liddle to march Barker out the door so quickly when MAYBE only him and Sayers knew the review was going to happen left us without a caretaker coach in waiting…
Let’s go BIG !

How was Barker sacked because of the announcement of the review? He was terminated because he had given notice of his intention to resign at the end of the season. 
Barker was terminated/sacked 2 days after the review was announced.

What do you put that down to, coincidence??

I'm not sure how it all ties together, but I read that Barker informed the club that he would not be there next year, but was happy to coach the remainder of the season. I believe Teague was also happy / keen for him to see out the season, but apparently the higher ups (I'm guessing Lloyd / Liddle) told him to go there and then.

I didn't read anywhere that The TT was happy for him to remain - might have just simply missed that communication.

Not unusual in organisations for someone to announce they won't be remaining in the coming year to be paid out then and there and leave. Happens pretty often to the satisfaction of both parties, once HR stuff has been done.

Yes, it is coincidence.

The review was announced on 7 June.  Barker had given notice prior to that and was asked to bring his departure forward to 7 June.

Teague and Lloyd's support of Barker's intention to stay until the end of the season was widely discussed at the time and was brought up again in the context of Stanton's departure by Sam Edmund recently:

Barker had the blessing of coach David Teague and football manager Brad Lloyd to coach out the season before leaving, but Barker’s departure was fast-tracked by management [Liddle].

Interestingly, when asked about the review on 7 June, Brad Lloyd's comments included:
Quote
“There are a number of areas that haven’t been up to the level - our skills, our contest work and defending. But we have strong confidence in the senior people around the club, including Teague, both on and off the field.”

It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

So he had given notice....sure.

When the review was announced....they TERMINATED HIM....or sacked him.

So clearly the review had something to do with it.

Saw this yesterday....GOLD!





Funny
I'm streaming The Office at the moment...watching an episode a day. That was the one I watched last night. The guy ends up talking his way out of the sack by making it a bit too hard to get rid of him. :))

I can't help but think Walsh is fait accompli.

Did I mis-read Mr Sayers communication to members last week, that members would be the first to be told the outcome of the review?
