David Goodwillie signs for Clyde until end of season

[Uilleam 5,429]

Utter rubbish, as if he actually threatened her, typical of a 'Dr' woman to jump all over it. It was a daft thing to say but the world has gone mad these days, people don't know what sexist is, there are now cameraphones in your face after an interview is over. It was banter, albeit ill advised.

 

Try such "banter" in another workplace.

It is 2017, by the way, so you might want to re read the clause I have highlighted.

I note that the 'Smack'ems' lost again last night.

I am unconvinced that Moyes' suggestion that he might 'slap' a woman should be treated as mere badinage.

The implication that he might 'slap' a man for asking such a probing question is also something of a problem.

 

In the vast majority of workplaces, Moyes would be in deep shit for his remarks, and rightly so. In many he would be very hard pressed to keep his job.

 

To have someone in a position of responsibility, indeed of power, whose first touch (often the most revealing), when irritated, is violence, and/or the threat of violence, is not something that we should gloss over, in any workplace.

 

Perhaps Sunderland will find his behaviour sufficient cause to sack him for misconduct. He will then be free to take over from Strachan, and to join his fellow ex-sellik man and social dinosaur, Malky MacKay, in the corridors of power of the Scottish game.

 

 

 

I have good reason to completely agree with your assessment; unfortunately I cannot say more for legal reasons.

I disagree.

 

I am in no doubt that he meant what he said. It was not heat of the moment; it was said after the interview was over. It was a clear threat. Whether he would have said the same or similar to a man is irrelevant. He didn't like the line of questioning and made it clear how he would deal with any repetition. He apologised because it became public knowledge and he had to or lose his job.

 

I would be astonished if he had not received a written warning from Sunderland as to his future conduct.

They were both joking with each other. nothing to get your knickers in a twist about.

 

I don't think he was joking at all.

Good article about Moyes on Sky http://www.skysports.com/share/10826006

Found the Moyes article here:

The game has moved on; Moyes has not.

Clearly a joke. Poor taste though.

Are you David Moyes ? If not then you have no option but to have doubt unless you are also a mind-reader.
