Former West Indies coach Ottis Gibson, who parted company with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) under controversial circumstances in August, says the board fired him.

Gibson, speaking for the first time since the sudden development, dismissed the WICB statement that they mutually agreed to end their association.

So Dave does have a working phone. Phew.

Fuzzy, More reason for de courtesy to apply full court pressure on Mae and Dave.

And why is the WICB president firing people (whether by phone or whatever)? Is Muirhead even a real person?

Duplicitous Dave is the man

Well, it is clear who running tings! Firing coaches! Cancelling tours...

So Cameron did do one good thing for WI cricket

Muirhead is the best.

Man just floating through

In reply to Commie

Dude, I'm convinced Muirhead isn't a real person. Can anyone on this board say definitively that he exists? Have you seen or spoken to him? I'm serious.

Muirhead is really Mr Snuffleupagus?

His time was up after the 2011 CWC where he packed the team with helpless ass kissers and blame the seniors.

And Mr Snuffleupagus was whose imaginary friend again?

In reply to imusic

classic...

Ehhem.

This "revelation" was made clear here long ago...

See the title. It was known he was fired. The author made it clear he was fired since AUGUST

So they fired the incompetent backstabber?

The WICB isn't totally useless after all!!!

Trust you to slink back in when the coast is looking a bit clear...at around midnight.

You know when Marlon Samuels is the only good Jamaican standing that things are dire.

Gibson to Dave during NZ Series: "I quit Dave. Tek yuh job and shove it!"
Dave in his best James Brown impression: Please Please Please Hotis, don't go."
Gibson in response: "Okay Dave I'll continue for now."

Gibson before Bangladesh Series: "I quit Dave, and I really mean it this time."
Dave in his best James Brown impression: Please Please Please Hotis, don't go."
Gibson in response: "Okay Dave I'll continue for now."
Dave: "Good, I got yuh now. You're fired."


As I have said on here before, it was a classic "You can't quit, you're fired" moment


One more thing. It seems like Dave has problems dealing with people face to face, preferring instead to hide out in Dubai or operate over the phone.

There's a behind the scenes effort to bring back Gibson as West Indies head coach after Cameron, Muirhead and Pybus are jettisoned. I'm hearing that Shiv is 100 percent on board. The only sticking point in the negotiations is that Gibson is insisting that his new term commence when hell freezes over

In reply to Walco

Is there a case here for wrongful dismissal or shall I say unfair dismissal based on this expose?

In reply to Courtesy

My guess is that Gibson is happy to sit on his ass and collect a check for doing nothing while all of the things he warned the CM&P boys about come to pass. It's becoming clearer every day that the board made a huge error siding with Pybus over him.

In reply to Walco

If Gibson is happy, I have no reason to be sad for him.

In reply to ponderiver



I would take Gibbo over many others and certainly over the white guy Pybus who is already 'bussing' up WI cricket
Is he still around ? the Supremo seems very silent. Hope he is kicked to the curb as Cameron and Hinds should have been already

In reply to Admin

Do you honestly believe that Cameron of his own volition , had the power & authority to fire Otis Gibson ????

I find that impossible to believe , since Cameron is answerable to the Presidents of the Regional Boards . It is absurd that
in this Forum ; many are calling for Cameron to resign ; while leaving those with more power than he has unscathed .
