Giakoumakis , Juranovic and some old lies

273

Those of you who were not around in the 90s, when the Fergus McCann regime was in place, might be unfamiliar with the stories around Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic.  We are told by the ‘popular’ media that both players are disappointed that unwritten agreements to significantly improve their contracts have not been met.

Peddling this line was an industry back in Fergus’ day.  Players and agents were figuratively battering journalists’ doors down with the fine print in unwritten contracts.  We had no new media then, so all we could do is complain to each other, while a significant portion of the support took everything said about the board hook, line and sinker, backed the players and opposed Fergus.

Now, as then, these players have expensive agents and lawyers.  Nothing is agreed that is not in the contract.  Contracts can contain clauses with bonuses or uplifts based on appearances, goals, club success or pretty much any metric you can think of.  If it remains unwritten, it is not an agreement.

As far as Josip (27) and Giorgos (28 next week), honestly, you don’t even need to ask.  Those of us who have ambitions to kick on, move beyond our European cannon fodder status, will want to Asset Manage both of them.  The recruitment operation that brought them to the club in 2021 has only grown in resource; throw the dice without a moment’s hesitation.  Greatness was never achieved by being conservative.

    how much should we sell him for if that is the intent ? £7m ? more ?

     

     

    On 31 August 2021, the last day of the summer transfer window, he signed for Scottish Premiership club Celtic on a five-year contract for a fee of £2.5 million.[

    Hail Hail.

     

     

    When some one other than yourself has been using your address for business credit checking your self is a basic check that MAY save you hassle for years.

     

     

    I have some background (gamekeeper)in dealing with fraud with more than one company

     

     

    Ernie Lynch has advised of possible disgruntled customers beating a path to your door.

     

     

    If your identity has been cloned, a company using your address by itself doesnt mean your ID has been cloned.

     

     

    If you are concerned about ID theft a credit check will let you know one way or another.

     

    If you have had ID fraud sorting it out could literally take some time to sort out

    Why It’s Important to Check Your Credit Report

     

    Stay Proactive Against Fraud. Checking your credit file can help you spot potential identity theft or fraud early. …

     

    Spot and Dispute Errors. Not all errors suggest fraud. …

     

    Make Sure Payments Are Being Reported as Agreed. …

     

    Take Action to Improve Your Credit.

  3. GARYGILLESPIESHAMSTRING @ 5:30 PM,

     

     

    Right, thanks for clarifying that – I knew he was a Celtic “source” and reading hisl piece on Cho Gue-sung with the GG story in the back of my mind, I thought he was GG’s replacement.

     

     

    Of course I’ve re read the article and he said nothing of the sort – in fact he intimates the opposite, so just correcting myself.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    As Ernie said, you can get your address removed from the Companies House records.

     

     

    Other agencies, Scottish Water for example, use Companies House data. You could end up being billed for business water tariffs. You’ll currently be paying domestic water charges through your rates.

     

     

    Under the circumstances, you’ll never have to pay such charges, but it’s a lot of stress for you.

     

     

    Good luck.

    Got a bit bored during the first half of the Germany game so I started trying to think of players who had a name associated with something one might wear.

     

     

    Best I could come up with were Kenny Jackett, Peter Scarff and Leroy Sane.
