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.

  1. “Either your brains or your signature are gonna be on that contract…”

     

     

    Cannae blame the EBT/side letter gang really. :))

  2. AKBW1888

     

     

    Rogne is carrying an injury also

     

     

    Lassad will be available as he has not been selected for Tunisia. Efe has only 1 game for Nigeria on Saturday so should also be available, but Miku will not arrive back into Glasgow circa Friday lunchtime so doubt he will be involved

  3. Goldstar – not played since Aberdour!

     

     

    Wonder if this is one of Green’s big, massive, gigantic commercial deals he’s been promising the zombies since he arrived….

  4. So Exiled Tim it sounds like he has got a sprained ankle so it’s ice packs

     

    and raised up when resting and sleeping and doing wee rotational movement

     

    with said ankle each day when swelling goes down hopefully he will not

     

    be out for too many weeks and I know those International Friendlies can

     

    be a pain in the you know where I still think said player would be better

     

    utilized in midfield rather than in defence where he can be a bit of a bomb

     

    scare when under pressure in said position

  5. “…made him an offer he could’nt refuse”.

     

     

    Graeme Souness answering the question as to why Rangers were able to convince Mo Johnston to join them.

     

     

    HH!!

    Yeah in his dreams BJMac, that’s so he can get as much publicity as he can

     

    and then as many shekels as he can then it’s another one of those scenarios

     

    where Mr CG and his new found wealth turns into another david copperfield

     

    act like (see you/gone)

    lol – he’s kidding – play on everything that goes wrong must be down to the board etc., etc

     

     

    and some of those bands never actually played the oul’ Burns Howff -in fact, I’m beginning to think some of them never actually existed

     

     

    so what is that all about

     

     

     

    Nothing is what it seems on CQN ;-)

    So green’s trying to get registered onto the AIM Stock Exchange ? …….that, in itself, is the admission that they are a new Club / Company …… Silly bhuns

    Didn’t Maxwell fiddle the Mirror’s Spot The Ball Competition?

     

    He was notorious for sacking people on the spot on a whim. So one morning he opened his paper to see the cartoon beside the editorial feature the graffiti-coverd Berlin Wall … and clearly visible, in caps about a centimetre high, were the words F*** Maxwell.

     

    He was livid and wanted the miscreant – a compositor, someone who cut and pasted the paper together before it was sent off to be printed – sacked immediately… until one of his cronies informed him that he couldn’t sack him as he’d done it the day before. A true tale I can vouch for

    Thanks but this option is ‘greyed out’, seems to be the case for the first few days every time the mag is released. At least until someone tells James Forrest to change it!

     

    I only read cqn and the mag on the phone so is this just a mobile issue?

    @sidlowe @bobby__peru Lassad is a great striker, but has short hamstring muscles. He needs training or will spend the whole season injured

    It could only happen in Scotland ….. A club brings the whole national game ‘to the brink’, and it’s all the fault of everyone else in Scottish Football …… What a shower of fuds
