Thread | Are football managers immune from 'Fair Dismissal?
at 16:53 10 Dec 2024
The guidance quoted below is from the UK Government website. At what point could a manager be dismissed fairly for demonstrating inadequate capability to perform the task in hand. What evidence would satisfy an industrial tribunal?
Secondly, if a fair dismissal took place would that mean that the employer would not be obligated to pay the salary beyond the end of the month? And thus potentially save millions???
Football managers are dismissed because the owners are not satisfied with their performance. So, why should they be rewarded for lack of achievement?
I am not an industrial relations expert, but, I would love to hear your learned views?
"Fair dismissals
You must have a valid reason for dismissing an employee. Valid reasons include:
their capability or conduct
making them redundant
something that prevents them from legally being able to do their job, for example a driver losing their driving licence
There could be other fair reasons too - these are sometimes called ‘other substantial reasons’."

Thread | So who should be the new Captain?
at 18:53 27 Jul 2023
Assuming JWP is on his way to FHAM or WHAM.
Who would be your first choice?
Stuart Armstrong ? If he stays.
Or Kyle Walker Peters?
Me thinks Jack Stephens may be in with shout given the managers comments about him.
What do you think?

Big shout for these boys! In these depressing moments.
Who knows, maybe one or two might get a run out in the championship. |

Thread | Mason Mount today! :)
at 21:58 18 Feb 2023
As per Sofascore, Mount’s 6.0 match rating bettered only that of Joao Felix, and he did not find a comfortable home on the left flank. The £80k-per-week Englishman completed just six of his 11 attempted passes and had only 22 touches before being substituted on 64 minutes.
More startlingly, he mustered just one shot (which was blocked) and lost 87.5% of his duels (7/8), flimsy and futile in his efforts to conjure up any shred of positivity. Also, having failed to make a single defensive contribution, it was a wholly forgettable day for Mount.
Among the Chelsea players who were “miles off” it today, according to one journalist at Stamford Bridge, the 36-cap England international was indeed at the very epicentre of his team’s troubles. |

I think he has scored 8 goals in 22 outings for the side at the top of the championship. Arguably one place below us.
I would play him in a front pare with Adams and bring on Edozie for the last 25 mins or so.
He is more likely to score than A Armstrong in my view plus he is 23 now and used to our set up, so there will be no bedding in period. It may be that his strengths will suit Jones's preferred style of play too.
No additional outlay either. |
