Nicky Barmb as well I think, although that got settled quickly. Magilton won his case I believe - backed by the lma

Not exactly fixtures because nobody else with your level of insight has posted it before. The lma do seem to be taking this particularly seriously. Its almost as if they see this as potentially a high profile test case where they want to put a marker down.

The point I was making is that if we assume both statements are factually correct then we have one side saying a request was unreasonable and that someone was dragging out the process while the other aide is saying the club aren't complying with their own procedures. In a tribunal or court, it...

We only have theclubs thinly veiled inference that this is the case. We then have the lma statement with thinly veiled inference that the club us not following its own procedures and is being unreasonable. I know which one a court or tribunal would look more unfavourably on.

Spot on. It wasn't so much his availability that caused today's delay. It was that of his professional body representative.

Because the club statement said they disputed the process issues raised by poyet. The meeting should never have been started. Seriously the lma don't make public statements of this detail very often. They have done this because of today's statement and, I suggest, because of the leaks and...

No. But the Lma have, and unless they are outright lying, then I believe them I'm what it says. Especially as I have been responsible from the business side for producing a revised handbool for the UK arm of a major multinational company as well as defending said handbooks in disputes (and also...

They aren't formally at negotiation yet. He was suspended. they provided details of the charges on 13th (last Thursday, the day it was leaked that he would attend a hearing on Friday which he clearly was never going to, which also led to leaks that he had refused to attend), they provided...

Well one of his most staunch defenders, the lma, have issued a very detailed statement. Clearly they are seething at the club on this. I mentioned last week that the club statements and leaks were not helpful. I mentioned this morning that the club were trying to manage the situation and someone...

Why is it morally wrong. If for extreme example sake, it turns out like Blackadder (the Flanders pidgeon murderer) in from of General Melchet then morally the accused would be right to make a point of law to be reflected or to question the process. Big and small companies make mistakes all the...

No matter how many times you write this (or a variation of this) it doesn't get away from the fact that you appear to know rock all about employment law. Both sides are perfectly within their rights to do what they did today. It doesn't however mean that they are both, or either of them is...

Would people read the statement? It says he elected not to attend for disputed legal reasons. This means he gave notice he wasn't going to attend. Just like he gave notice that last week's meeting wasn't convenient it would seem. He is perfectly within his rights to choose not to attend for...
