This is where someone who has a little bit of knowledge about a subject thinks they are an expert...It is very likely we could sack labadie based on the FA ruling along with an internal investigation. He wouldn't even get access to an employment tribunal so talking about that is nonsense. There would be little to no risk in sacking him for the club from a financial point of view. I do hate when people talk like they know everything.ferrarilover wrote:Having supported him through the external process, we'd look a bit silly sacking him now. If we're going to go down that road, we'd have to have an internal investigation and come to the reasonable conclusion that his conduct amounted to gross misconduct.
If it turns out that the FA found him guilty on no more evidence than some mouthpiece on Twitter and 8 seconds of video which looks like it was shot from the ISS using a mobile phone from 2006, then, when the case inevitably comes to a proper Employment Tribunal (which, unlike the FA, actually assesses evidence and makes decisions based on facts. Probably has something to do with accountability, a thing grossly lacking in the case of football's governing [shambles] body), the club will be stiffed with a large bill for costs and an award for compensation - as well as much more negative publicity.
If, and it's a big if, there's some actual evidence (if anyone from the FA is reading this, perhaps look up the concept in a dictionary), then we might be able to give Ladders the boot, but on what we've got so far? No chance.
Matt.
Great player for us but probably the last we will see unfortunately.
