Lets be honest neither side looks great in this whatever the outcome and there are tough times ahead for both. Imagine how it will play out if we start badly which we could after this. Pro gus will be saying it would not have happened under him and the others will be blaiming him for causing...
Just a feeling no more, but i dont think gus and his team will show, citing prejudgement, unhappy with make up of panel etc. Club will sack and gus will sue, but being media savvy we will hear from him bout it being unfair, i was about to sign messi on quid a week and club said no etc. Heaps...
Working in hr like you I think it counter productive, a sign perhaps of the club worrying about fans and wanting to know. My hr concern is giving the other side any room to claim pre judgement and I worry we could have done that. That said this was going to court anyway, neither side shows signs...
Seriously you are barking up the wrong tree here. Follow procedure whatever the breeches or lose in court, simple. Confidence etc is not demonstrated by speed, ideally you want to move quickly if poss, but by following laid down guidelines and procedures.
On your point a guy could be caught...
No, you have to follow laid down employment procedures whatever the breeches. If they dont whether are right or wrong about the breeches not following procedure will result in court case they will lose. You follow the rules whatever or pay the price. Gone are the days when you say here are your...
But again you are not putting your hand in your pocket. Bloom currently writes a cheque for 8m to cover losses plus 20m odd for training ground. Maybe he does not want to pay the extra 2m to someone who he feels has breeches his contract.
I agree though about next season, but easy for us to...
But he wouldnt since whatever the breeches you still have to investigate, call hearings etc. The lenght of time here, whilst not great, is absolutely no indication of the strength either way. And of course the lma support him in public , they are his union and no doubt he pays dues to them, what...
Been thinking about this bit, my thought is that he will not go down the appeal route, his arguement being pre judged etc but will go straight to litigation.
If reports are true there appears to have been the offer of an agreement rejected by one or other party. Would be nice if agreement could be reached at this late stage but the battle lines are drawn I suspect and I doubt either side will back down now.
Its a crap situation to be in with players...
Assuming you now recognise that there is no way back for gus I guess you mean agree to pay him 2.5m. Easy to say when it is not your money and like the rest of us have no idea what the charges are against gus. But in your eyes gus will always be innocent. Myself I prefer to support the club...
The club feel that the lma statement was wrong and have said so as everyone here would in the same position. And why the hell shouldnt they since most people were on the clubs case because of it.
A statement like this would only be released with legal advice, the club seem confident they have...
Please can someone tell me why so many people on here are on ths clubs back for releasing a statement saying they consider the lma statement yesterday unfair and reserve the righf to sue. Do you want them to roll over and die? Good on them for having the balls to stand and fight for what they...
