SandyCromarty Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Aaron Doran is a credit to his profession, an unassuming young man his football has been excellent and beyond reproach throughout his career and we have been lucky to have had him in a Caley shirt. The way he has been treated is disgraceful and whoever is responsible for this needs to hang their heads in shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 41 minutes ago, Raith Against The Machine said: 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. Duncan Ferguson could be playing himself next season the way it's going, far less knowing what team they're going to be cobbling together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I see Shane Sutherland has started a GoFundMe for club legend Aaron Doran's knee surgery. Fair play to Shane. A new low for The Caley. https://www.gofundme.com/f/6gkyc-aaron-doran-acl-surgery?modal=donations&tab=all Edited June 11 by Stephen Malkmus 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 We’ve got a retired knee surgery specialist as a director and he apparently told Aaron Doran to “rehab it”. He has a ruptured ACL. From what I understand you only don’t operate on that sort of injury if the patient is elderly or has underlying conditions that make surgery risky. Aaron Doran is a young man and a professional athlete. Appalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Doran is a young man and a professional athlete. Appalling. Footballers get surgery on it. You need it to twist and turn. Rugby players who generally run in straight lines usually don't even bother to fix it. They do what Marvin Andrews did and build up the muscle around it to compensate. That's what I was told anyway many moons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkboy Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 7 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: He hasn't been laid off. His contract has ended. You're technically right but none of that stops the manager (or someone else at the club if Duncan can't be arsed coming up the A9) taking him to one side and just saying "we can't afford to keep you on next season but on behalf of the club thanks for your service." It's not asking a lot. I've had shitty temp jobs where there's a permanent contract dangled at the end of X months and I know colleagues brought in at the same time weren't kept on at least got a month's notice they'd not be kept on at the end of it. If Capita can manage it I don't see why anyone else can't, it's a basic courtesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Hillshaveyes Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Surely savage or anyone else waiting in the wings will let admin happen then do a deal with the administrator therefore kicking the debts into the long grass.... would be a kick in the Chuckies points wise next season but you would have a club....as long as they don't whip the bronze licence of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) The lack of action on medical expenses and contracts is pretty clearly because the directors want to avoid trading while insolvent and the personal consequences that could come with that (being held personally liable for the company's debts, being banned from being a director). I wouldn't have thought there is anything stopping them paying medical bills in a personal capacity though. Anyway, tick tock etc. Edited June 11 by Stephen Malkmus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
