NYCFC Confirm Departure of PV. Nice Confirm Arrival of PV as Manager.

So Vieira hasn’t “spoken” to Nice but yet Nice knows that PV’s key decision point whether to take the job or not is the player pool?

Someone’s lying big time.

Vieira speaks to his agent or some other proxy, they speak to Nice. Then he gets to grin and tell our media he hasn’t spoken to Nice.
If he wasn’t negotiating with them he would say he was flattered or something and not interested in the job. He’s either having his agent negotiate with them in good faith to take the job, or in bad faith to get his contract extended here.

This is what I said earlier in the week and mgarbowski mgarbowski said it’s still considered lying.

Would you become a business partner with someone knowing that they speak to you, to customers, and to vendors on that basis? People have been convicted of deceiving federal investigators for more ambiguous statements.

I think it's deceitful but not out right lying. It's bad faith truth telling because he knows what the spirit of the question is. But also bad questioning - just ask him "are you or anybody who represents your interests <blah blah blah> with Nice or any other club?". At least force him up to a new level of falsehood, because I'm finding this saga tiresome.

This isn’t about me and what I’d do/not do.

Words are powerful, as you’ve spelled out in the past, and for me it’s important to interpret the actual words and not necessarily the potential interpretation they may allude to if viewed from a different vantage point. He said he didn’t speak with them, but if he emailed, I would not have an issue with that (from a lying/not lying point of view) because he’s conveying what actually happened.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the federal investigators, but I would think more ambiguity would be worse as it’s muddying the answer whereas less ambiguity is truthfully describing the situation (see above). It’s up to the investigators to frame their question to account for particular answers/framing of the answers.

With all that said, I 100% believe Vieira is in negotiations with Nice via an intermediary (his agent) which is normal in sports. I’m also not surprised he’s veiled in his answers, because that is also the norm in sports. What I’m frustrated about is his answer that the rumors are not having an effect on the players, which he has no possible knowledge of since considering his demagogue approach to discipline would keep every player from giving him an honest assessment - they’d hedge their answers just like he is so as not to anger him. From watching recent matches, I have an incredibly difficult time believing the players haven’t been affected.
 
There’s an old saying.

- If you don’t want the answer, don’t ask the question.

This is a corollary.

- If you don’t want to be lied to, don’t ask about job negotiations.
There's an old operating system.

- Windows for Workgroups 3.11

With most present day operating systems I don't have to download third party software just to connect to the Internet.

I think I / we can handle the truth.

Like typical Arsene Wenger, of course he has to make it difficult. You could not leave Next year, right?

Vieira has always said publicly that he intends in fulfilling out his contract and would not want to leave mid-season, but if he does get the offer, I wish him luck and he has to take it. I feel there is good chance he gets the offer.

Thomas Tuchel, I think he lands at PSG and sorry Christopher Jee Christopher Jee , I can't support Bielsa.

I think as a fandom, we should start to coalesce around Arteta. I have a feeling CFG's philosophy of getting some young players some time here, will be applied for coaches as well in the right circumstances.
Well it sounds like one of my clubs might get Bielsa:

Well, it's Monday and there isn't an update or new article in the Patrick Vieira to Nice saga. That's a good sign.
 
Mercato suggests that Vieira will sign for OGC Nice after the Atlanta game. Remains to be seen of course.

if its true then Sunday morning they better announce the next coach ( assuming its not one of the assistants as interim) and bring him over ASAP...since i think they will need every minute possible polishing up whatever style of play they want.
