I think you have probably redefined the meaning of meaning cock all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Manager announces to all and sundry that at least 2 of you are not good enough and he is going to recruit 5 new employees to take your job? And he's going to keep paying you whilst not expecting you to do any work. He's also going to do everything he can to help you find another job and supplement your salary for the next couple of years if you have to take a cut... I think it would go down ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how football works. Terminating a contract means paying off the remainder of that contract. It is a million miles away from how the 'real world' works.

Yes, it is. Can you name another industry where both sides are locked into multi year deals? The European Commission put a scheme to override free movement of labour in the case of our darlings.

I don't think the sausage factory workers are able to dictate terms to quite the same extent and have contracts with far less favourable redundancy packages... at a guess. Maybe not, you seem to know both industries inside out and have noted that there are no differences whatsoever. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I would wager that the annual attritional rate of footballers being moved from employment status to unemployment is amongst the highest of any industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfer windows for example are clearly in breach of free movement of labour. Any other profession you can walk out of a fixed term contract and get another job. Seriously.

Question is are we signing one of theirs or are they signing one of ours? Edited August 16, 2017 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
