They own them but they still have to stand by a form of employment law in terms of how they treat players, you are implying a club could in theory parade a player around the park with a broom up his arse "just because" they "own them" without any form of fallout which they patently can't. I am talking about colors of strips to show how redundant saying "that's pure pish" is in relation to a point when evidence shows otherwise... Its @TamCoopz shitty breeches How the fuck am I implying anything of the sort as the bit in bold? It's abundantly clear football differs from standard employment in that the contracts give clubs more ownership and possession rights than in a standard employee/er relationship. I'm in agreement there are still employment laws to be adhered to. But in decades of football how many cases of clubs being taken to court and losing for wrongful dismissal are there? And of them how many are wom when the sacking is for gross misconduct? And is there any precedent whatsoever of a player suing and winning because they were rightly sacked but another player later wasn't in similar circumstances? Surely there will be precedents / examples..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elements differ - parts, dismissal of one for one reason but not another isn't holding up when a player and his lawyer comes back.. talk of previous precedents is a bit redundant in the context of Covid and what is being spoken about here, the reason players aren't sacked often.... to square this all back is because teams tend to try and avoid sacking players as they are typically assets which was the original point made in all of this...

They can spit the dummy and sulk or learn and put in twice the effort at the training ground etc. Probably a good kick up the arse for both them. surfsup2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never remotely implied sticking brushes up arses is OK. But they are as good as owned given they can't just jump ship to a new club the way employees can do with companies in the non football world. Can you clarify exactly how this would work in terms of employment law. Which legislation, ie wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal etc. And then direct me to the part which allows claims to be won because of how someone else was subsequently dealt with in similar circumstances. Please don't waffle, a link to the exact part of legislation or a quote from that legislation is fine. Thanks. Malkytfp1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wee guy woulda been online and read some of the backlash after the incidents. I'm no making excuses for them btw and I wouldn't be against no seeing them in our colours again but I do feel they will have a good degree of remorse.

But they could though eh, because they own them so apparently can just do what the fuck they want (they can’t) Im not sitting reading through legislation fuck sake..the well paid lawyer a player would find would do that.

In the context of clubs buying players they do own them. I'd have thought even the most stupid person is aware this relates to football, not getting them washing your motor, home schooling your weans, doing your weekly shop or even sweeping your driveway with a brush up their arse. I was clearly wrong as the most stupid person isn't aware. You're talking shite. You don't know which employment legislation would cover it, you don't provide it because you can't not because you won't look, and you can't find any relevant precedents. You've not got better to do given you're still debating the point. Unfortunately for you it looks like you're bullshitting more than normal if you don't back up your argument when asked for defining proof. Especially if you can (😂😂😂😂 aye right).

Expect another at some point before all these restrictions are lifted The situation hasn't been resolved yet, they are still awaiting punishment from the league which will come. The club have already strongly disciplined them but kept it in house and they can't be loaned out as the transfer window is shut so they have nowhere else to go but train with the squad. They will 100% not be sacked as all 5 of them are an asset to the club in some degree plus we are not in a position to throw monetary assets down the drain.

bluenoz 30,836 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 There is absolutely no way these players should be sacked. They are all a valuable commodity to the club. Look at Edmundson - scored for Derby last night. If he continues to do well perhaps Rooney makes a bid for him. Patterson will be Tav's replacement within a couple of years. Young men make mistakes. I know I did. JohnHardie, jamess and Siam69 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for sacking them however understand from a business standpoint that we can't throw assets away. Best thing to do would be to let them train alone/together & sell them as soon as the window opens for whatever we can get for them, Zungu obviously would be a terminate. People are very happy to let this go because it didn't lead to anything however the fact it didn't lead to anything wasn't through the players honesty or anything they done, they got caught! If whoever grassed them had waited 24 hours we'd have been looking at forfeiting a Europa League tie & possibly forfeiting (or at least playing with a weakened squad) against Dundee United. If they've done it once there's nothing stopping them doing it again, no idea why we'd want them back around the main squad at this point in the season.
