Atomic Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 13 hours ago, wbbfan said: that is a strange provision. I dont think ive ever seen a pending active play as a future out side of PTBNL, which is cash a huge percentage of the time. The only time I can remember something similar is when Mike Kelly traded Romby Bryant and Arjei Franklin for Odell Willis mid-season, then after the season ended, the Bombers received OL Derek Armstrong to finalize the trade. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Just now, Floyd said: Sask by Labour Day. I'd have thought so but they picked up cam marshall, who i think is better then lafrance and morris and will eventually take over if the experiment proves to be a bust. Bell must be looking for a lot of cheddar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Honestly not that big a deal. Foley should get over himself. It's a new regime, they're not going to drive to your house and soothe your ego for an hour when they release you. He was a Jim Barker guy and he's old and he won't be starting this year.... he should have seen this coming. Goalie and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that when Jones took over in Regina and did a total hatchet job by cutting about half the team, he just released the news to the media. That's how the players found out about it.

Rich Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Driving over to the guys house isn't necessary. A two minute phone call that basically says "We appreciate everything you've done for the Argos but we are now going in a new direction." is a much more professional way to run an organisation then sending this over a text. Then again, maybe I'm just old fashioned. HardCoreBlue, Wanna-B-Fanboy, Noeller and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sign a contract with a team, not with a GM. If don't treat the players with respect, why would you expect them to treat the team with respect?

TBURGESS Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 It's completely unprofessional to fire anyone via text. Face to face is best, but if Foley can't make it to the club's offices, then over the phone would be OK.

That and he took a shot at Stegall a few years back so I'm cool with how Popp handled this! Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 have to agree with most here that the least you can do is call the guy... even if it's the AGM, doesn't have to be Popp or Trestman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
