| If that's the real reason it's ridiculous.

And if it is not the real reason then the "excuse" is ridiculous. Either way......
The Honeymoon period is well and truly over for Mr Khan I am afraid.

| One of the best employees the club has ever had IMO. Shame they let him go over something so stupid.
Was he offering too much of a good service or something?

| Looks like there's probably more to the sacking than meets the eye so can't really comment on that. But posting that picture although probably meant in the right spirit was a bit of a gaff from a senior manager while the club is In discussion about getting a superleague licence back.

| There in an unsavory taste about this sacking of an employee who has a decent rep within the fans.
If OK is to communicate he needs to explain this in more. detail

| Clearly must be more to this than meets the eye.
Quite possible that the guy may have forgotten where his allegiances lay, and that he was being paid (assuming he was, and was not another "volunteer") to work for the club not the customers? But, even if that was to be the case, this is looking like another self-inflicted wound, I fear? Would he have gone had he been there lomg enough to take the club to a tribunal for unfair dismissal?
We none of us know the facts though, so speculation is not helpful and may be downright counterproductive. But someone said earlier that the honeymoon period is over, and IMO it would be sad indeed if today led to that.

The official kowtowing to Sod Hall and "el presidente" Never have happend in the Caisley or Hood tenures
www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... s/?ref=rss
The phrase poor performance perhaps should read was too honest with regards the quality of stock in public!
It was an obvious excuse to get rid but thats a Management ploy, nothing changes in that respect!

| As Adeybull says there could be other issues here, but employment is a highly regulated area, and I don't think coming into work to find the locks on your office have been changed could be said to be part of a correct disciplinary process? or unless it says otherwise in a contract of employment that being what our Prime Minister would describe as a Twitter "t**t" would be grounds for summary dismissal?
Whatever the real reasons are behind this it doesn't seem to have been handled very well by the club - where was our glamourous in house spin doctor?

| To be fair, there are quite a few reasons why everything can't just be dumped into the public domain, ranging through our prurience not being sufficiently good reason, having a duty of confidentiality to their [exemployee and not wanting to prejudice any future legal action which may arise and indeed, not attract any other unwelcome action from the employee concerned.
Dirty washing in public is never a good idea but you can't just gather it all back in again, so what goes public stays public, and the club need to address the mess, which seems to be entirely of its own making.

| Well I do hope that Chris is reading this and is encouraged by a lot of the support that he is getting. Quite frankly I reckon that this is pretty ridiculous and it APPEARS that it really is no more than a storm in a teacup for me, from the evidence that I have read.
Great decision this by the club. After a bright new beginning we have now managed to p!$s off different sections of our support twice in just a couple of weeks. What a laughing stock we are.
And to the club officials who are eary-wigging on here, read the thread and see what your supporters thought of the gentleman in question. Over the last few years we have employed ex-convicts on the playing field and tried to sign a convicted wife beater (and would have succeeded if the visa was granted) yet a fairly (from what it appears) minor issue is now sackable?
Shameful.
