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. Ponde lofts a shot onto the bar for

     

    Sporting after he fastens onto a

     

    fortuitous bounce in the box.

    No feed at this time! Whits going on ……………

  3. Invercelt

     

     

    Worth a visit – the Cinque Terre and Portovenere in particular: just a stone’s throw from where I’m based.

     

     

    HH!!

  4. 84 Twardzik tries to release

     

    Johnstone in the box but the pass

     

    has too much pace for the striker

  5. Jobo

     

     

    Unfortunately I can’t see it, I heard that those in the upper tiers are being offered seats lower down so Celtic can’t be hopeful either.

  6. 86 Johnstone wins a corner on the

     

    right. McGregor aims the cross for

     

    the near post but the ball is cleared.

    well David Faulds was getting the pies in at half-time ..he was away a wee while

     

     

    only came back with wan …for himself like..

  8. 87 McGregor sends a free-kick from

     

    the right and it’s touched behind for

     

    another corner. The young Celts

     

    mounting some late pressure.

  9. 88 After several crosses are fired

     

    into the box, the ball eventually falls

     

    for Twardzik and his effort is

     

    deflected wide

    I know the feeling, half time at Killie 3-0 down . Says to Miss Prestonpans “want a pie?” gave her a tenner saying “get me one too, it can’t get worse”.

     

     

    Then she comes up with a pie for her and her pal……………………….no change either……….

  11. 90 Celtic so close to a last-minute

     

    leveller! A free-kick is floated into

     

    the box & Twardzik spins and

     

    flashes a powerful drive inches

     

    wide.

  12. 90 The Sporting goalkeeper has

     

    gone down with no one around him

     

    and is now receiving treatment. The

     

    Celtic fans aren’t happy…

  13. David Faulds- “Sporting hit the bar”…. Do they win £1 million??

     

     

    O.g.rafferty- an excellent story about Maxwell

     

     

    Bjmac- just back from the driving range, hitting the balls right out it- over the side fence though.

  15. FT CELTIC 1-2 SPORTING. Celtic fall

     

    to defeat in their first NextGen

     

    match after goals from Cortez &

     

    Medeiros cancel out Johnstone’s

     

    opener.
