Ethan Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 This was a bad deal for the club but glad we can now close the chapter on this guy. We need players who have ability and the right attitude. Sadly he never had either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about his ability (hardly ever played) but certainly the wrong attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my best friend once said when he broke off an engagement - "Good riddance, I 've cut my losses and I can now get on with life". To be fair he dodged a bullet and then found his other half. Never seen him happier than these past 15 years. Hope it is the same for us. Time to move on from this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who claims to abhor bigotry (citing it as a major factor in you stopping financially supporting the club i.e. you are no longer a supporter now just a follower) and prejudice you don't half bang on about it. You have had one spectacularly public breakdown on here over the last 2-3 years.

So what was up with the post you quoted ? Nothing untrue about it. Anyway, I am so happy and feel totally cleansed. Not funding corrupt and cheating football and our bigot loving club has been the making of me. All is wonderful and calm. You seem rattled though. Do you want a wee cuddle ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be two years wages , if they do that it’s like a gardening leave ,were he can’t play for any other clubs until his contract is up , it will be a settlement that allows him to sign elsewhere IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have gone with more than a year's wages. Given he hasnt kicked a ball for months and is about attractive to other clubs as Joey Barton, why would he go for less. He can sit on the training field on his tod for two more years and still get well paid. ffs start accepting reality bud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardening leave means you are still an employee, on the payroll get your pension contributions and bonuses etc. He has agreed a deal based on the two remaining years of his contract. What would you go for in his shoes knowing its unlikely any club is bursting down the door to sign you? it will be over a year's wages, otherwise he would be better off just sitting tight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually offered 30%-50% of contract owed from what I've heard. Absolutely no use to the player training with the under 18s for the next 2 years. If he wants any kind of career, he must have realised it's time to move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you as someone who has negotiated and terminated thosands of contracts people (let alone professional footballers) do not walk for 30-50% of what they are entitled to. Unless they are going to something even better they do not want to miss out on. i would suggest this isnt Heaton's reality! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
