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.

    Miss Prestonpans got a ticket for the Scotland game on Saturday, “good on you” said I “enjoy it”

     

     

    Beats those daft huns who are not going because the SFA are against them!!!!!

  4. Tallybhoy – I read it recently (can’t remember anything else about the article) but was surprised.

     

     

    I did some checking out of curiosity as I thought Barca was bigger but Hamburg shaded it.

    Still hungry !!

     

     

    Just finishing off the figs in bacon, delish, washed down with a luvely drop of Crianza.

     

     

    —-

     

     

    Just remembered you mentioned figs/dates combo before

     

     

    and I tried it based on your advice in the summer in Santa Ponsa

     

     

    as a starter …to die for …an absolute delight

     

     

    belated thanks

  6. Tallybhoy – ‘Bloody Germans!

     

     

    HH!!’

     

     

    That HH along with Germans made me think ‘Heil Hitler’ instead of ‘Hail, Hail’.

     

     

    Perhaps we should spell it out in full from now on otherwise CQN will be outed as a hotbed of neo-Nazis!

  7. Pete

     

     

    I would hope that there are no neo-Nazis on here!

     

     

    Just the ‘odd’ Fascist perhaps?!

     

     

    Hail Hail!!

    thoroughly enjoyed the nextgen game tonight, unlucky to be beat 1-2 thought we deserved the draw but no more, was a wee bit puzzled why we never used any subs. Dont know the bhoys name but the right back IMO was MOTM, he appeared to be struggling and thought he should have been replaced.

     

    Sporting players played a wee bit better one touch stuff and used 5 subs, they’re No 10 was the best on the par.

     

    All in all a better way to spend a couple of hours than the pub or telly.

     

    hail hail

    Another fav of mine is sausages with marmalade, helps the not so good vino taste no bad.

     

    Makes the quality vino to die for :>)

     

     

     

    ————————-

     

     

    sounds interesting

     

     

    Stuck in Renfrewshire at the moment -don’t suppose a skwerr sice and dollop of keiller’s thick cut would replicate the culinary experience …:-)

     

     

    Beddy byes -early drive in the morning

     

     

    HH

  10. I have to believe it takes a truly unique sort of sad, boring, idler with no life and too much time on his hands to sit daily for hours on end waiting to take yet another CQN “podium” just to gain a perceived

     

    sense of achievement

    I think they should do the opposite and post at the last thread, now that would be different……………….
