Immediate former Everton manager has admitted that he was prepared to leave even by the time it became official.
This was after the media speculated about his departure from the club but admitted that it was utterly disappointing that the information was leaked in that manner.
‘I think it was out there in the open for a couple of days. That leaves you with the certainty of what was going to happen.
‘It was slightly disappointing. Who was involved in that I couldn’t tell you, but something as delicate as that is something you want to be confidential.’
‘I think when it’s so open in the press, from the day before, it was highly unlikely it was going to be anything else.
‘I prepared myself for what was being said by the press a couple of days before.
‘My meeting with Farhad was amicable. We conducted ourselves amicably but I expressed a disappointment with how it got out. I accept it and move on.’
