Kendo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 McGinn is out of contract and free to sign for whichever club wants him. The sticking point is that club would then be due us a fee, set by a tribunal, of at least around £250k. Clubs will have noted he was bang average last season and - I surmise - is the type of character that sues his club for a mere training ground accident. He is clearly not coming back to Love St and clubs are in no rush to pay for him - a promising career potentially ruined it would seem. Ah well.... Good post sums it all up nicely. Unfortunately he is a young lad who has had his head turned by a greedy lawyer. He doesn't see the bigger picture. What employer would pay over the odds for a young chap that was part of a really bad team that got relegated. Has an attitude to sue his club and not return for pre season assessment. There are lots of players out of contract and the wee man might have made the biggest mistake of his short career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm not that desperate for us to keep him tbh. IMO he's been pretty poor for the best part of 2 years now, not really an attacking threat or done anything of note in a defensive midfield role & he's clearly not a wide midfielder either. He's got that 'spin around the ball' thing he does where there's a 50/50 chance he either flukes his way past an opponent or falls on his arse and that's... It really. Plus a piss poor attitude to his employer it would appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 McGinn failed to show for fitness assessment at the weekend.Murray described it as "A dangerous thing to do in terms of his career". Pretty silly not turning up - I mean, what's the worst that could happen at training... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 And what is his Lawyer's side of the story? He had left for work this morning before I woke so I'll need to ask him later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 My advice to the lad.... Screw the nut, son. Forget about trying to wring a compensation payment out of the club that brought you to the point in your career where you have a national cup winners medal in your mammy's display cabinet, and get on with playing fitba.... for someone. Then again, I am no lawyer. As such, my advice is underpinned by a degree of integrity, and should therefore be duly disregarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desnold Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Would it not be the case that if his contract had expired and he has not yet signed a new one that he is technically no longer an employee of the club and would therefore not be protected by the clubs insurance? I should imagine that in the circumstances surrounding his absence from the team in the latter stages of the season, he would want to be protected by insurance!

He was an employee when the accident happened so would have been covered. Even now I would imagine all visitors to site would be covered by the insurance in the same way you and I would if we were getting a tour of the facility?

Yes he would be covered by the insurance for the speargate incident, but if he is out of contract now, would he be covered for pre-season training as he now doesn't have a contract with the club?

It's probably not even as complicated as that. As out of contract player he would be mad to risk possible injury on the training field.

rea Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Surely that's his making. if he is not undercontract or being paid then rather than being covered under the EL policy it is under the PL policy both normally get sold together as part of a Combined Liabilty package and are a legal requiremenet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvine_buddie Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) With Scott Allan coming out saying he wants to stay at Hibs for another season, that probably ends the interest they apparently had in McGinn.
