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.

    I just can’t seem to help it.

     

     

    I’m afflicted lately by this perceptible bounce in my step, sense of light heartedness and enthusiasm. On closer examination it’s all about my team. Lenny’s kids are really coming of age and showing maturity to ensure our participation in the big prize. Recent signings were everything I’d hoped for and more. The abundant South Americans that live around me assure me that Miku is a gem of a player: professional, brave, dedicated and technically gifted. Lassad appears to be the target man we have been missing and in Efe we seem to have a Wanyama-esque CB. Anyone seen his run on YouTube from the back, right through the middle to bulge the old onion bag?

     

     

    As for the huns, I just don’t care. They are defunct, a has been, expired, a non entity, an irrelevance. They will get their final just rewards when Agent Green strips them bare.

  5. SOAL – Hamburg by a whisper from Barca.

     

     

    Had you heard this question before or are you just very clever :-)
