He would be, even after taking another job. Standard contract/employment law is that if one party breaks the contract unfairly then the other party can claim compensation.

I'm not the only one even on this thread to have mentioned your pro-Gus bias. Perhaps you aren't aware of how it comes across but from where I'm sitting you're nowhere near the fence on this issue.

I think that is semantics. Given that Tony Bloom told a fan's forum that no money was put aside for compensation, given it's been very widely reported in newspapers and legal press across the country, given that Redman's reporting is more detailed with a lot more information than the Argus quote...

Oh for Christ's sake - it was even reported by Redman's Solicitors. http://www.redmans.co.uk/news/gus-poyet-settles-employment-tribunal-claim-against-brighton-football-club You moan at B.W. for being myopic over this but you are every bit as bad as him. Worse actually because you claim to sit...

Cheers. I was getting my wires crossed. I misread it as the conversation Poyet and Bloom had before the Palace game where he asked to leave immediately.

First I'd heard of it. Can you provide a link please?

No-one expects him to be loyal forever but a bit of loyalty whilst he was Brighton manager wouldn't have gone amiss. Repeatedly whoring himself out to other clubs and asking if he could leave the club 3 days before we were due to play Palace shows absolute disregard for the club and fans. We...

No he's not. He's good but he's not that good - well, in his own mind he is but he's got no Plan B and can be incredibly predictable and often shows poor judgement in substitutions.

We can't all be good at everything. On the plus side, you do passive-aggressive and non-sequiturs like a champ.

Your opening gambit was that it was "handy" for the club to "use' employment law to sack him and not pay compensation. Given your previous unequivocal support for all things Gus and your tendency to view with contempt anything that comes from Barber's lips, I think there was a heavy does of...

Gus was, is and always will be passionate about only one thing - himself. I don't think he gave a toss about losing to Palace that night. He'd already got his eye on bigger and better things. His post-match comments were a big clue as to where his thoughts lay.

It's not semantics and you are wrong. He SAID he would leave at the end of the season, no matter what and he asked if he could leave there and then if Bloom would allow it (3 days before we were due to play Palace). There is a world of difference between asking to leave and saying you will go at...

Most managers are sacked for poor performances and not for gross misconduct but it still comes under employment law. You seem to be implying that the club relied on employment law as a convenient and cheap way of getting rid of Gus. The club didn't want him to leave. He wanted to leave. He...

All employment contracts are governed by employment law. When people are sacked and it's not gross misconduct then they're paid compensation. Employment law. FFS.

A laudable position. There's nothing worse than people jumping to conclusions when they don't know the circumstances of the sacking. Oh.

Err...how else could they do it? All employment contracts are governed by employment law aren't they?
