Skyline Drifter Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 12 hours ago, die hard doonhamer said: I’m pretty certain that players have to tell their current club before they sign a pre-contract They dont. Theoretically their new club is supposed to tell the old one they are speaking to them but in practice that very rarely happens, especially if the season is already over in practice. They'll usually tell you if they are signing someone months ahead of season end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Only listened to about half of it and also thought the same. Howling at the line about Mike Edwards editing his own Wiki page 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peil Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 14 hours ago, Sergeant Wilson said: You would expect, at least, a conversation with a manager about any fixed term contract expiry. There's also legal bits depending on how long the contract is, sure it came up at Accies a few weeks ago https://www.gov.uk/fixed-term-contracts/renewing-or-ending-a-fixedterm-contract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the bit about club branding and Americans loving Outlander and Nessie, Caley should get down to Gellions and find the guys who started Loch Ness FC (RIP) and made a fortune out of Nessie branding on their shirts. Also might be worth having a word with the Edusports Academy/Caledonian Braves boss who recently received $1 million from mainly American online investors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if true, like any unfavourable political announcements, I'd expect the club to try be sly and act under the radar by putting out a press release at 8pm on Friday where most folks will be distracted by other events 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Another day, another embarrassing story from an (ex) player on how they've been treated by the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) That's an absolute disgrace. Total cowards in charge. Doran should crowdfund his knee operation (not that he should have to of course). Edited June 11 by Stephen Malkmus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 We are probably better off just not existing anymore. Everything about our club is disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It's almost like the club has already gone out of business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow is allegedly D Day for ICT and it isn't looking good. Grassa asking folk to pony up cash when the club hasn't bothered to make any kind of announcement about season tickets and are on the verge of administration is laughable. Unless folk up north are pissing money, and I suspect many aren't, then they are going to be keeping their hands in their pockets until they see what happens in the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think if Savage and/or McGilvary were going to step in they'd have done it by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 19 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: Perhaps. But as I say, where's the basic courtesy from players when they're signing pre-contracts? Employers have a much greater responsibility to their employees than the other way around. One is a corporate entity with dozens of other employees and the other is a human being with (likely) a single source of income and bills to be paid. This whole Caley situation clearly doesn't reflect well on many people, but Duncan Ferguson deserves his fair share of criticism for this particular aspect of it. Even if the boardroom is a shambles, you'd think the manager would at least pick up the phone to tell players "Look man, I don't know what's going to happen, but assuming things stay more or less as they are, you [are/are not] in my plans for next season." The Doran situation in particular is appalling. Obviously there are a lot of moving parts at the moment, but there's a real lack of basic human decency from some quarters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't go around your work telling all the management you're looking for a new job but you would expect them to mention it if you were getting laid off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
