Not at all sure how the minimum two years employment works out for someone on a 3 year contract though Well no, precedent wouldn't apply from employment tribunals. Anything from an Employment Appeals Tribunal to the Supreme Court would give precedent though. You won't find many lawyers suggesting you go to tribunal if an employment tribunal has ruled against someone in a very similar case though.

My point was that even if he was he would still deserve criticism for being a pillock. No way was a personal attack on you. I was just trying to back up your point. Maybe I was not that clear so if you took offence I apologise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't find many lawyers suggesting you go to tribunal if an employment tribunal has ruled against someone in a very similar case though. Because of the maximum payout £83.5k (and simialrly proportional back in time), you can count the number of players going to tribunal on one hand. Accordingly no precedent really exists.

Suspect all the players signed contracts and I'm pretty certain their behaviour when representing the club would of been covered in the small print. I suspect many people in the real world have lost their jobs for calling their boss a clown or abusing their customers on social media so don't see why a footballer would be treated any different.

Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Got a relative who works in the OEC and can confirm that there is a 2004 OAFC social media policy that they must adhere to. Can say Gerrard definitely fell foul of these rules. Presume Byrne’s suspension is in regards to his behaviour on the training ground rather than tweeting three emojis...

He would’ve kept Gerrard on the books and offered him out on loan seeing which club would be prepared to pay the highest % of his wages.

leeslover Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 20 hours ago, whittles left foot said: Where does this come from? I don't get why folks turn against players so quickly when he was a decent enough player for us. His off field activities regarding twitter are of no interest to me at all but seem to be to other posters. The links from the Huddersfield board are just the same as on here-some see him as the footballer, some see him as the villain for his off field activity. That's not defending him at all costs its a bit of objectivity. Thanks for the reply. We'll have to disagree about his qualities as a player - it seemed to me he got plaudits for doing the absolute basics I'd expect from a chunky centreback and was generally poor. That aside, I think we're all guilty at one time or another about being willing to overlook some less attractive off field behaviour for the same of having a good player on books. Absolutely not wanting to go over them again, but Lee Hughes, Chef Evans etc, and many more who we've known weren't angels. I'm coming more to the view that it isn't worth it, and in fact I'd pick character over ability in a close race in my work life. However, when a player who isn't all that carries on as if he's an exceptional talent that should be able to do as he pleases, he can fuck off. I should say that as much as the Twitter stuff is unprofessional, the real life stuff is more serious IMO, and it's not internet gossip.
