It’s all academic now, but CF Montreal President and CEO Kevin Gilmore stated during today’s video-conference confirming Thierry Henry’s departure from the club, that last week’s rumour around his former coach joining AFC Bournemouth was, “... nothing but a rumour.”
“There was no-one who contacted us asking for permission. There were no discussions between the club and Thierry. He was not out there talking to clubs. This is something where the timing was odd. There were no discussions at all. Either on our end, or on his end with that club,” said Gilmore...
At one point, major UK book-making firms had Henry listed at 1/8 odds-on to succeed the dismissed Jason Tindall.
