Hull City AFC (GLP) said:
Something needs to be done, as at the moment a contract seems worthless. In the case of Snodgrass - he was happy to sign almost 3 years ago for a 4 year term. Fourth year being optional. If a decision comes down to selling a player, it should almost be solely down to the club.

Too much player power at the moment. Something needs to be done so there are consequences for the player. If he doesn't want to play, fine. His wages drop to an affordable level so he can play in the academy junior sides, or not at all.

You simply need the right employment policies
Refusing to train would be partial performance of your contract
If your policy says you don't accept partial performance then a refusal to train would be dealt with by sending the player home without pay until he came back and asked to train
Relatively simple really (although you'd have to then manage faked injuries, but they happen in other businesses too and are managed)

It appears that the 'mantle of hatred' is finally being handed over from Fraizer Campbell to Robert Snodgrass - wear it well - the song 'greedy bastard' will follow you for years - until it is your turn to hand it over to the next player who disdainfully turns his back on the great city of Hull

I never understood the hatred of Campbell, never did anything wrong until after he got all the unwarranted ****e and only then it was 'over celebrate' when scoring.

The thing that pissed people off was his celebration at Sunderland the first time he played us after leaving, he behaved like an utter **** and absolutely deserved all the **** that it brought his way.

It's actually quite funny. If he signed for us, his career may have gone very differently. We'd have played him every week in the PL whereas he decided to sit on the bench at Spurs. Who knows what would've happened

I'm not disputing that. The point is he almost certainly behaved like that because of all the unjust 'greedy bastard' **** and vitriol that he had previously received despite doing nothing wrong.

I think you know I totally agree, GLP. I like your udea of puting in some form of contractual clause. Could the PL / FA make it mandatory across the board for contracted players?

Any thoughts from anyone, morally, legally, operationally?

It just seems a simple idea that could limit agent manipulation.

Whats probably pissed Snakeinthegrass more, is the fact that during the time he he has refused to play, we have put our best two performances of the season together showing the twat that he wasn't the talisman he thought he was..... what a **** he must feel telling the new coach on day 1 'i'm off' and then recognising that the man is the real deal!!!... and lastly, the fact that only Burnley, Boro and Spam were interested in him shows how good he really WAS... forget it .... WE HAVE A TEAM TO BE PROUD OF!!!!

Apologies for duplicating and echoing comments further back..

Seeing as this is a rumour thread! I was told silva had been watching us for months and when he came here he got all the players together and told them individually their good points & weaknesses! So there maybe was a cunning plan from EA?
