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 was deaf in both ears as a kid and luckily enough through operations I managed to get one working ok.

    estorilbhoy,

     

    didnt you notice when we put the ball out for their players to be treated, they returned the ball by giving us a shy well inside our own half to put our players under pressure immediately.

     

    That IMO was a nasty tactic, but I believe that was a tactic demanded by their coaching team, if you dont do what your told when you go on the pitch, you’ll no last long in the game.

    Fair point, my Son only sung “building a Tesco when the Rangers die”. I’m sure he got that from me with my increasing annoyance about how long they were hanging on grimly.

  9. canamalar,

     

     

    Can you see many of them in the first team in the next 3 years?

     

     

    Becoming as good as Victor, I won’t say James Forrest as you are not a big fan, YET, Georgios or Beram?

    There’s hardly a better feeling in this wolrd that beats kicking your neighbor’s cat so squarely up the bullseye and seeing soar a good 25 yard back to where it belongs.

    petec,

     

    seen a few, definately the tight back, but with the number of right backs we’ve got, he’ll be 30 before he gets the chance :o)

     

    Quite a few in fact, thought we might have seen Tony Watt tonight too.

     

    But again, I was disappointed we never made any changes.

    Whit wiz it yir freen Joko said about miscegination?

     

     

    And there wiz yir vera ain family as prime offenders.

     

     

    It takes a particular kind of self loathing to praise your detractors.

    Still laughing?

    petec, you cant compare Vic and Jamesy. The kenyan fenian will develope into a midfeild commander and will be sold for a fortune. Jamesy will always be a flying wing man and will get better annd better………………………….and be sold for a fortune.

     

     

    Chalk and chese.

    A Ceiler….,

     

    and he’ll keep throwing his hands up in the air until one day they will come flying off and he’ll have nothing to catch them with.

    SFB, my brother PC67 pointed out tonight to me that a poster (joko) had said that I was another of kojo’s pseudonyms.

     

     

    FFS, I dont even read his posts. (no offence meant to kojo there btw). Just looks a bit too difficult to decipher.

     

     

    Multiple posting is bad. Talking to yourself while you’re multiple posting is sad and a sure sign of a mental ailment.

     

     

    I’m not a real doctor though, I got my licence to practice brain surgery from the university of Patia.

     

     

    This could get messi

    Ok, Vic was recruited because he was a Monster of a player (and that is all said in the best possible taste – alternative king kenny quote). Not a player to be developed much. Victor as soon as he wore that shirt over in Dublin was a Class act.

     

     

    James Forrest, he still has hundreds to learn but he will do very well if he listens well. At this moment, he is standing on the verge of Greatness, but, it could all fall flat as a pancake, like it has for many other amazing youngsters.

     

     

    We must encourage all our youngsters and all the new guys who come into our club.

     

     

    These new guys are very very tastey looking.

    Ha ha, that was funny.

     

     

     

    But think how nuch we’re going to get for the wee chap, with or without his flailing hands.

  18. The crazy huns have finally gone completely, totally and dangerously psychopathically insane now. Looks like they’re trying to raise a lynch mob for Alex Thomson. I could hardly believe this when I followed the link from TSFM.

    miki67,

     

    he laughs them off and treats them like the clowns they are, they dont like it :o)

     

    their only response it to try and intimidate, we know this, AT is still learning.

  22. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Petec, agreed. Big Vic has captain written all over him (for some lucky club), maybe ours. Maybe depends on his communication and mastery of language in the places his talents will take him. I just hope we can keep him long enough to benefit Celtic and see the best of his young years.

     

     

    Wee Jamesy? I think he will grow and develope to the point where we cant afford him, like Aiden McGeady. He’s spesssshul and will eventually want to show that on a bigger stage than we have.

    A Ceiler..,

     

    I look forward to the day he picks himself up, dusts himself off and turns his hurt into determination, its the quality response,.

  25. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    miki67,

     

    thats got to be the funniest yet, I’ve never heard that before, they’re mking things up to have a pop, its a circus and the clowns are running the show.

  26. I’m coming to believe after all these years that the huns are, in essence, truly the kkk in Scotland.

     

    Every day through this clusterbomb of a scandal they created themselves they manage to get their shovels out and dig the hole deeper for themselves.

     

    They are stupid. Stupid redneck huns.

     

    Mind you, I spent yesterday thinking it was today. But that’s just ageing and wilful disregard of calendars.
