Well, I am less than impressed with his answer to the question. That is twice he has failed to nip it in the bud. I hoped he was a gentleman, a man of honour, ambitious. If his head has been turned by Burnley, then I hope he is on a 3 yr deal and we get some compo. I am not convinced he will go, but football is a murky world and I’ll bet Burnley will have been sounding a few possible managers out via their agents.
Gibson sacked Monk for talking to Swansea without permission, McClaren was openly courting Newcastle back in the day, Gibson will be asking questions and will ensure the right thing is done for the football club, not for Chris Wilder. Any official approach would have to go through Gibson, but the lack of a denial is a worry.
