Only thing not covered on this thread is how would SP assert his leadership in this issue ?

I cannot claim any leadership credentials and nor would I want to be a chairman of a football club and certainly not BUFC.
As we don't know all the details and we certainly do not know what DG told DN about the matter (either before, during or after he was interviewed for the post of manager). However, if DN was not aware and we were in his shoes would we not be extremely annoyed bearing in mind what a laughing stock the club has been over recent years. We would feel deceived certainly. Whatever people may say, youngsters look to their heroes as role models whether they be players, managers or chairmen.
Whatever the actual details are, the lack of any public comment whatsoever by the club is a very poor show and one can only surmise that DN is taking legal advice before saying anything so as not to compromise any existing contractual agreements and so as not to give rise to any potential for constructive dismissal. If this is the case, then the public statement should state this. :bunny
That is all that is asked for a simple statement. Without this the speculation continue and the club's name will be dragged through the mud (again). I wonder if the local hacks have approached the Chairman or are they all cosied up with him?
