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.

    looking forward to the nextgen game this evening, a bit strung out ,need my Celtic fix

  2. Boab1888,

     

     

    I downloaded all eight episodes of BB and then copied them to DVD and watched them on a dvd player. I have also simply downloaded them episode by episode and watched via a pen drive on an xbox.

     

     

    I can always send you a copy of series 5 if you cant find them.

    Hullbhoy retweeted a load of his best work a couple of weeks ago. truly wonderful journalism. particularly liked his exclusives regarding how much additional money Craig Whyte was going to give to Ally McCoist.

    Watched all of homocide, including the movie. Munch, al, bayliss, frank, the big man etc. Great tv. Also the guests were amazing, steve buscemi & chris rock to name but two.

    “even though they could have held him to the contract and have frozen him out of football if they so wished”

     

     

    Why didn’t they then? Watchin that sleekit wee rat wi his wee smug grin sitting alongside Souness is one of my most painful football memories ever, big Billy never recovered from it either…

     

     

    and it could have been avoided! Surely not?

  6. Yes – CL tickets bought.

     

     

    Quick ‘n’ easy through the call-centre. I’ve been moved but it’s one section closer to the GB so the atmosphere will be stunning.

    The UEFA info was taken from here

     

     

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2012/0901/1224323462066.html

     

     

    Auldheid. thanks for the link, I’ve had a read over said link it’s still in the idea

     

    mode and certainly logical wise food for thought because as the

     

    write up rightly pointed out that England Spain Italy & France do

     

    have a manopoly on club football tv money you only have to look

     

    @ the modern day transfer market and the money that is available

     

    to those clubs playing within those leagues compared to every

     

    other League if UEFA are really serious about trying to financially

     

    revitalize club football in other Countries then they seriously have

     

    to look @ making the necessary changes to allow other Countries

     

    to be able to compete are make it more of a level playing field

     

    rather than being held back and being in a disadvantage set up

     

    which is not fair

    How can you hit a crossbar when there is only jumpers&jaikits for posts?

  9. The Battered Bunnet on

    Ha! Belter!

     

     

    BJMac strikes again.

     

     

    I suppose there could be a problem i the 2nd half if the challenger misses, takes the huff, and goes hime with the ball.

  10. Satires En Sevilla @ 25.50

     

     

    Agreed, i remember the tackle on Kayal you mention and some of the treatment meted out to Celtic players in the SPL. That being said, Beram did go in kamakaze-like for a fifty-fifty ball in the away game against Helsingborg and came off the worst resulting in his current injury.

  11. Yeah I know The Moon Bhoys it was a very bad and sneaky affair @ that particular

     

    time and I’m sure that wee patite merde even until today is still regretting what

     

    he done it’s like Judas selling out for thirty pieces of silver

     

    Although it’s good to see that cheats fc financial doping has finally caught up

     

    with them particularly moonbeams and surely they will not be allowed to carry

     

    out these shady dealings in future

  12. Always remember the day that Judas signed for the huns.

     

     

    Heard it from my dad – by the look on his face before he told me, I thought that he was about to announce that there had been a death in the family!

     

     

    The expletives quickly followed!

     

     

    HH!!

  13. Hankray, I know Beram has to work on his tackling timing although if my memory

     

    serves me right he has also been on the receiving end of some hefty challenges

     

    as well especially in the SPHell

  14. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire

     

     

    I did put the word ban in inverted commas to denote sarcasm.

  15. The Singing Detective Demands The Resignation Of Campbell Ogilvie – Thanks? (thumbsup)

     

     

     

    Son of Gabriel – I’m guessing Jesse finds out that Walter poisoned Brock and let his girlfriend die. All of Walter’s sins will catch up with him. (thumbsup)

     

     

     

    The Moon Bhoys – I don’t think Celtic has ever “done” vindictive. If somebody wants to be a hun, hell mend them. MoJo has suffered more than 20 years of odium and infamy for something he did when he was 26, when it probably seemed like a bit of a lark and mischief to him at the time.

     

     

    In a few years time he’ll be a pensioner. Will we still find the energy to hate him then?

     

     

    He wasn’t the brightest and I pity him. (thumbsup)

  16. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    Had a strange experience there. Was in my local chemist and there was a known convicted drug dealer and 3 addicts in for their meth in. No one spoke to each other. OH AND NOBODY PAID FOR ANYTHING!!!!

  17. Bada Bing I concur!!! I,ve only watched one episode of The Newsroom and it was quality, has it just started? Hail Hail Hebcelt

  18. Bada,

     

     

    Good shout,watched the first 4 episodes and it’s very enjoyable.The speech in the first 10 minutes of the first episode is magnificent.

  19. I also remember Judas scoring for the Bhoys in 1985 @ Sex Street to tie up

     

    the League that day. There was also a story I heard that with about five

     

    minutes to go in that match the ball went out of play and the late TB God

     

    Bless him went to retrieve the ball it was five-nil to the hoops then and one

     

    of our supporters said to him hay Tommy it’s two-nil to Dundee and Tommy

     

    said never mind about that give me the ball

    could be right – he was diving into tackles in that game

    >>>>>>

     

    email request sent to Paul67. hopefully I’ll hear back fom him soon.

     

    HH!

  22. philvisreturns @ 17.00

     

     

    I don’t hate him now Phil, but at the time……just knew it would send us in to a downward spiral and it surely did, we never really recovered until Wim Jansen showed albeit Tommy done the best he could, wonder how big Billy feels about him now, pretty sure though he wont hate him either.

  23. saltires en sevilla as mentioned Beram has only got to work on his timing

     

    I like him as a player he gives the midfield a bit of dig

     

    Another good player is young Jim Forrest the only thing that JF has to

     

    work on is his final ball decision and his finishing and after that he

     

    will be a much better and direct player good luck to the young man.
