Think the maximum is a two week fine which while a large sum won't be missed over the year.

To catch a train, you must think like a train.

Yes they can. Legally any employee can have their contract of employment terminated by their employers for misconduct or for failure to meet expected standards. Footballers are no different

Can you sack a player thus not paying him but keep his registration so he doesn't just SLINK off to another club and get a MASSIVE pay rise ?

This is correct and effectively what we did with Poyet. In the case of a high rated player however, they'd be foolish as they then wouldn't received any transfer fee.

Yes.
Chelsea - Mutu (drugs), Leicester - Hooper, Pearson, Smith (racism, bringing club into disrepute), Rushden and Diamonds - Leon Knight (misconduct).

Yup. I believe Leon Knight had this happen to him at one of his clubs he got sacked from.

Of course a footballer can be sacked.
But they rarely are, because the club would usually be writing off whatever they could've gained in a transfer fee by selling him.

I imagine pointing out the leicester players who were sacked a month or two ago will be dismissed as evidence because they were youth players, not first teamers. So
Five Sacked Footballers
Clubs are reluctant to sack players if they are any good though.

He can't if they refuse to release his registration. It happened to Leon Knight.

I don't know how that all turned out. But wouldn't we then be in the realms of "restraint of trade" in employment law terms ?
I wouldn't think you could sack a player (ie tear up his contract) and having done that, stop him from being able to play for another club.

I think that's when he went to Ireland, as it only applied to the English FA (I'm probably wrong).

This is the same sport where a manager can be complete dog-shite at their job, get sacked, and walk away with a hefty pay-off.
Nothing in football and contracts makes any sense.

The best bit about that story is
Pretty sure you couldn't stop them joining someone else. Like when Tevez fell out with Man City.

Win win for Grabban.
Walk out of the match because Norwich want you. Bournemouth are so annoyed with you that they will far more willing to get rid. Move completes.
It wouldn't cause me ANY suprise in modern football if it turned out that his agent advised him to walk out of the match. Not saying thats what i THINK happened, just that it wouldn't be a shock.

But Man City didn't actually sack Tevez did they. I think he just went AWOL for a while, till he was eventually sold to Juventus.
