£25k a week, rising to £50k a week if we’re promoted, is exactly the sort of deal I’d expect us to have offered.
Even Snoddy and Diame didn't up sticks straight away after their lengthy injuries. I suppose you could argue that they were still under contract though of course but they both made no effort to leave as soon as they were fit. It wouldn't have hurt Abel to sign on for one more season, he could have had even more bargaining power at the end of it if he had hit another 20+
Sportstalk stated that it was the right time to take it as that's when all the agents go on holiday...
Didn't he have a really good game up front under slutsky? Bolton maybe? The dropped next time. Think that killed his last chance here. Could maybe have turned into a player but none of the managers seemed to trust him.
If you thought your boss was an absolute ****, deceitful, a liar, untrustworthy, a **** (I may have mentioned that already), not to be trusted, disliked by all your peers, was blatantly stripping down your workplace to the bare minimum, a **** (I know but it’s worth repeating), deliberately not being competitive in his given market, not giving you the opportunity to fulfil your potential & you hated him because he’s a **** (a true FACT, he really is) would you, if the opportunity arose, jump ship or hang around out of a misguided sense of loyalty because he chucked a bit of sick pay your way when you injured your body fulfilling your role?
It's not a good comparison for me mate as that's exactly what's happening. Except my immediate boss is great, got him round my little finger... rest is true for higher ups tho
It is still a decent offer for a Championship team, I cannot see many other EFL sides stumping up that kind of cash on a 3 year deal.
A friend of a friend had Abel renting his house! Needless to say the club won’t be getting their large bond back! Left it in a bit of a mess!
I certainly think the time has arrived when we’ll have to offer more money to attract players because of the owners. I left work in November bringing an end to well over 20 years service because I clashed with the boss who’d manipulated herself into the role during a restructuring around 4 years earlier. We were all getting made redundant at some point after turning down a relocation package. It should have been 2016, then went 2017, then 2019 then 2020 possibly 2021. The lack of clarity & continued insecurity pissed me & others off. They knew people wouldn't just walk away because we’d lose pensions & redundancy packages. First mistake she made was including me in an email asking for feedback as part of the end of year appraisal process. Obviously I was honest & included her boss in the return email to make sure it was used in the process. The pick out words were “sex”, “discrimination”, “bully”, “inadequate” although there were many more. I then repeated the accusations in that the department had become a stamping ground from the top for people to control through hardline sexist bulllying, in a meeting, that she was Chairing. She upped & left & came back with HR. Obviously me being me, I’d bagged the evidence so when I was challenged to back up my claims I did. Who are the last 10 people to get promoted? Don’t think about it, I have the answer ... 10 women. Who were the last 10 people to be offered education grants or attend conferences ... I have the answer ... 10 women. Who benefited from the last 7 positions created as a result of reorganisation ... I have the answer ... all women. Who were the last 10 people to be made redundant ... I have the answer ... all men. Obviously there were now giggles from the back, silence from the front & anger on some faces. Her answer was unbelievable “I don’t bother asking the men because they never want to do anything” I added a final question to the Management Team whilst HR were there, but made it clear it was in my capacity as Employee & Union Representarive. “I recently arranged with the VP of R&D that because of the insecurity issues surrounding our exit that he would guarantee pay until mid 2020, would pay redundancy to a minimum of mid 2020 & guarantee all bonuses would be paid at at on target level until mid 2020 regardless of when people exited prior to that date. Can Somebody please explain why this deal was offered to everyone except the Employee & Union Representative & who made the decision to exclude him?” Silence. HR unaware, all eyes on the sexist for an answer but appantly this wasn’t a forum to discuss why. Meeting closed. Went into another meeting with my Union Rep on the Thursday & an agreement (a favourable one) was in place for my exit by the following Tuesday, I was gone because of one **** of a boss. Still no answer to why I was excluded from an agreement I’d arranged. An inadequate leader can **** over a full team no matter how adequate that team is.
