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.

    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

     

     

    I know and totally agree with that opinion and they certainly are a shower of fuds

  2. 13 Sporting look comfortable and

     

    composed in possession. But the

     

    young Hoops get their first shot on

     

    goal as Kidd fires over from

     

    distance.

  4. 15 Fasan makes an excellent stop

     

    from Rosa’s dipping free-kick, the

     

    keeper tipping the shot over the

     

    barl.

     

     

    He also punches the resultant

     

    corner clear. Good goalkeeping

     

    from the young Italian.

    No, youngest took not well last night. Just reposting Tweets from match.

  6. The Huns psychological make up, I’ll know what we will do we will run up

     

    a grand larceny debt and play the blame game like it’s everyone else’s

     

    fault except our own who are they trying to fool yeah only themselves

     

    what a shower of fuds

  7. 17 A neat pass from Irvine sets up

     

    a decent breakaway fo the Bhoys

     

    but Sporting clear the danger.

  8. 20 Marcus Fraser rises well in the

     

    box to head clear a dangerous free-

     

    kick from the visitors.

    ASOD

    hope wee one better soon!

     

     

    HH

  10. Yeah, and everyone else is conspiring to get us.

     

    Only in Coldland where a Club can pull strokes

     

    and bring the game into disrepute and then try

     

    and put the blame onto everyone else

     

    wake up numpties and smell the cr*p

    22 GOAL!!!! Denny Johnstone puts

     

    the young Celts ahead!!

     

     

    Good Son of Dan, I hope they go on to win said match

     

    what Stand are you in?

  12. McGregor makes good progress

     

    down the left, and the striker takes a

     

    touch from his accurate, low cross,

     

    before firing home.

  13. 25 After Fasan makes a good catch

     

    from a swerving free-kick, McGregor

     

    finds Kidd in the box but his return

     

    pass is cleared.

  14. 28 Since the goal, the young Hoops

     

    have been more threatening, but

     

    then Fasan has to pull off a great

     

    save, pushing Mane’s shot wide.

  15. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Decided to watch the Scotland U21 match ……. Where’s TonybWatt ?…feck me, nothing changes …l are there any Celtic players in that team ….. off to watch something else….anything else…

  16. 31 Darnell Fisher goes down in

     

    some pain on the right but, after

     

    treatment, he’s able to continue.

    There is no such thing as ‘against the run of play’ when Celtic score ……….LOL

  18. 33 Rosa goes into the book for the

     

    Portuguese outfit for a late tackle

     

    on Fisher near the touchline as the

     

    full-back clears the ball.

    Surprised at no Green Brigade, they usually always go out their way to support the young bhoys.

  21. 34 Sporting aim to launch a counter

     

    attack but Celtic defend diligently

     

    and catch Riquicho offside
