The trouble football people have with contracts

941

You have to wonder about football people sometimes when they appear to not know the difference between a contract and something which is not a contract.  A contract is a signed document committing one or more parties to do something.  For example, Lassad Noiuoiu and Celtic signed a contract committing the player to perform the duties of a footballer and committing Celtic to provide pay and conditions.

Employers can also contractually agree to pay employees money for fulfilling their job, over and above their Contract of Employment, by simply writing the terms down, signing the document and handing it over to the employee.  For a football player, this type of additional contract would need to be registered with the relevant Football Association and tax would be due on it, or else the Karma Police will come round and leave you in tears.

Speaking about his attempts to sign Noiuoiu, Levante’s president said, “During 30 hours of negotiations we closed the transfer with faxes and documents between the two parties”.

“Two parties”, “faxes and documents”?  Let’s be specific, the two parties would need to be Levante and Lassad Noiuoiu and the documents would need to be a Contract of Employment, otherwise it appears that Levante have been the victim of an agent trying to make a deal happen when he was not in control of events.

It will be a bitter pill to swallow for Levante, who appear to have acted with good faith throughout, but as Celtic fans have long known, a new signing is not a new signing until he is running around a football field.

  1. 38 Sporting have enjoyed the

     

    greater possession, but so far Celtic

     

    have been solid at the back as

     

    Fraser cuts out another attacking

     

    foray.

  2. Thanks David Faulds so a couple of thousand @ Firhill tonight

     

    well I hope it’s not too cold there and the Young ones get a good

     

    positive result tonight come on the young Hoops

  3. saltires en sevilla on

    pauloantony

     

     

    Eurosport coverage starts next wk -don’t think our games being shown tho’

  4. 41 Another superb stop from Fasan

     

    as he blocks Guedes’ goalbound

     

    flick, before bravely diving for the

     

    rebound at the feet of Medeiros.

  5. 44 Chalmers sparks a swift and

     

    incisive counter attack, and after the

     

    ball is worked to the right, Fisher’s

     

    cross is just too strong.

  6. That’s another tricky Group the Young Hoops are in

     

    Last Season they had Barcelona/Man City/& Marsielle

     

    the French side this Season they are playing

     

    Sporting Lisbon/PSV/& Aston Villa well it’s all good

     

    experience for said Young Bhoys

  7. oh p1sh!

     

     

    45 Sporting level right on the stroke

     

    of half time. Medeiros stays cool in

     

    the box to evade a challenge before

     

    stroking the ball past Fasan.

  8. HT Celtic 1-1 Sporting. Both sides

     

    are level at the break after

     

    Medeiros cancels out Johnstone’s

     

    opener for the Bhoys.

  9. Must be half time soon, don’t worry Stevie Frail & John Kennedy will

     

    have them better organised for the Second Half

     

    Must be Half Time around now? Yes.

  10. Good evening friends.

     

     

    Champions League tickets bought for me and mini. That was a no brainer. But equaly important in the big scheme of things, League Cup tickets bought too. After the stance taken by the Raith Rovers chairman in the summer it would be goiod to reward his club with a share from a decent gate. Got to choose any of the available seats and so we’ll be sitting right above the mouth of the tunnel – woo-hoo!

     

     

    Jobo

  11. Right Fellow Tims I’m off to grab some scan I’ll speak with you all later.

     

    Saltires en sevilla your a brave man eating Firhill pies there not as good

     

    as Dunfermlines & Kilmarnock pies but hopefully they are not too bad

     

    I hope your Young Team wins tonight good luck to the Young Bhoys

     

    Later’s fellow Tims

  12. Conceding so late in the half will be

     

    disappointing for the youths after a

     

    first half when they defended so

     

    well and attacked with purpose.

     

     

    But they will be aiming to restore

     

    their advantage in the second half,

     

    in front of a terrific turnout of

     

    supporters here at Firhill

  13. Very good game at Firhill.

     

    Fantastic finish by the SL no.11.

     

    We’re holding our own against a very fast and skillful team.

     

    I don’t think they can keep that pace up.

     

    Impressed by a few of our team.

     

    They’re not scared to take on their players. Passing is good as well.

  14. Stevie Frail is the coach of the Development squad, alongside Danny McGrain.

     

     

    The youth side is coached by John Kennedy and Tommy McIntyre who is also the manager of the professional academy (under 17s/20s).

     

     

    HH!!

  15. 47 Positive start to the half from the

     

    young Celts. Twardizk sends an

     

    excellent cross into the box from

     

    the byline, just beyond Johnstone.

  16. 50 Johnstone’s shot is blocked wide

     

    for a corner. Twardzik takes it and

     

    Fraser meets the cross but can’t

     

    divert the header on target.

    Good evening friends.

     

     

    Champions League tickets bought for me and mini. That was a no brainer. But equaly important in the big scheme of things, League Cup tickets bought too

     

     

     

    I think it would be a point of principle to buy the LC tickets when you consider what Raith have done, well done, my ones come auto thro’ the ticket system.

  18. I think only the lower tier of Parkhead is going to be open for the Raith Rovers game, bit disappointing.

  19. Posted a newspapers article earlier. Raith only gave one home game in October and were facing a financial meltdown. Celtic game is like a gift from heaven. Karma looking after its own…

  20. 54 Lewis Kidd cuts inside and

     

    manufactures space for a shot but

     

    it’s blocked by inadvertantly by

     

    Herron who is flagged for offside.
