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.

    Cheers. The good lady is giving up the smoking so I thought I’d support by being as miserable alcohol free for a bit.

     

    Still got the champions et al to cheer me up plus the long post match rantwalks with BSR.

  7. WhileI out celebrating my birthday t’other night, I was introduced to a guy who played professional for Newcastle United in the early 60s. He played a handful of first-team games before eventually moving to Doncaster and then Grimsby before retiring.

     

     

    The thing is, he went to school with the Charlton brothers and played in the same school team as Bobby and they were close friends. He told me that after the Munich disaster Bobby was finding it difficult at Old Trafford and was on the verge of quitting the game altogether. He assured me that Matt Busby had arranged for him to sign for Celtic to resurrect his career, rather than quit. Bobby was apparently seriously considering the move but decided to give United another shot at it and the rest, as they say, is history.

     

     

    Not sure how much truth is in this but the man was full of his faculties and has a tremendous football knowledge.

     

     

    Can you imagine Bobby Charlton as a Lisbon Lion?

  14. CRC –

     

     

    the idea of the live quiz night excited me but the date doesn’t suit me I’m afraid. Still, gives the others a chance! Online quiz tonight?

     

     

    Off to work now but I’m sure I’ll manage to lurk for your reply :-)

  15. MWD, I’m expecting Walt to concoct a meth crystal coated deep fried mars bar, rich in MSG’s, aspartame and other yummy add ons, he becomes addicted and deluded, his cravings for bigger and better state of the art moonbeams lab has provided him an opportunity to purchase a piece of real estate down Govan way…… Deep down in the dungeons of Walter Mintys Orcdome he meets his demise.

     

    I hope this helps you’re understanding of BB series 6 TAL.

  16. Morning,

     

     

    Rogne not happy with his contract offer. Considering the guy cant string 4 appearances together, he is lucky he is being offered one at all.

  17. CRC –

     

     

    Probably won’t make it down. Have something on on the Friday, so will have to see how that goes before I make my mind up.

    Morning campers,

     

     

    I read somewhere recently about how good Scottish football was when Lubo and caniggia were here, we all know lubo was a genius but did claudio set the heather alight for sevco.

  19. captainmoonlight at 22.45…

     

     

    can’t make the quiz night..

     

     

    good to see the KSC helping in the Oscar appeal…

    Bobby Charlton is on record as saying that one of the best players he ever saw was our very own Bobby Lennox.

     

     

    He also said that if he had had Bobby beside him he would have scored many more goals than he actually did.

     

     

    HH!!

  21. Good morning CQN

     

     

    I see sevco are running a hit the crossbar challenge

     

    And offering £50,000 a week at home games going up to

     

    £1 Million how can they justify this when they still owe money

     

    To other clubs

     

     

    Come on Mr TAX MAN

     

     

    Keep the Faith

     

     

    Hail Hail

  22. Anyone else out there in CQNland having problems getting hold of the new away shirt? At the beginning of June I ordered a short-sleeved sponsorless XL (aka dart-player) size from the official site. I get nothing but excuses when I phone up ask when it might be delivered and get fobbed off with ‘ Within the next ten days’ ,”should be sent out at the beginning of/middle of/end of August/the first week of September mebbes aye, medbbes naw’.

     

     

    Smaller adult sizes were available during August but even they are no longer on offer. is this size shirt a mythical beast?

  23. Re Dalekgate, it appears Tomo made a totally innocent tweet about wasps (the insects) saying they are always angry, like Daleks.

     

     

    What can you say????

    The new club would need over 33,000 of the ( I see dead football clubs ) supporters to enter at £ 1.50 a ticket to just raise the prize money.

     

    25,000 at £2 a ticket , cannae
