Totally the opposite. It's because contracts for personal services can't be enforced that the clubs want exit clauses for when their employee refuses to do his job. If Roy Race says that he will no longer play for or manage Melchester Rovers, then there is nothing in law that can make him. It is un...

No doubt. Just doesn't happen and nor should it.

It remains in doubt to me because I don't have any inside knowledge concerning JTs contract if you are sure about something obviously you do.

Jakubclaret

Or…..Luton, Sheffield and ourselves all draw away and close the gap to Everton and Forest, but we do it against far superior opposition. It's a very small sliver the superior opposition which is cancelled out by a game less if that's the rate of progress which translates into some meaningful escape...

Our only home win was against them and it was a 5-0 hammering. Tells you all you need to know about them. We've a better squad with heaps more potential at the level below than their team of more or less journeymen. Generally accepted by the wider media that we've been better and should have more p...

VK will not have any say in how much we pay for a player, the days of Managers negotiating contracts are long gone.

He'll have influence if anything far too much.

The Club pursued Verbruggen until it was beyond our reach and he signed for Brighton so unlikely VK wanted Trafford so badly ...

Enough to pay well over the odds suggest he did.

It probably wouldn't be enforceable because contracts for personal services can't be enforced. I think it will work both ways.

He's under employment he's contracted. If what you are saying is correct no need would exist for all the clauses & contract conditions that exist.

But not perfectly reasonable for the other party.

Of course both parties need to agree that goes without saying. We all know how bad Kompany wanted Trafford enough to agree to that remains in doubt.

Jakubclaret

Pure crackpot to think that such things are written into contracts in the PL in the modern day. Stuff like this will have happened way back when when things were a bit more 'cowboy' (for want of a better term) or stars being brought into development leagues or something but this is just madness.

And if it was breached does that mean he has to go back?

I don't know about that or if it's a condition that he has to play. But if it's in his contract it's enforceable I'm certain of that.

Jakubclaret

Anything is enforceable providing all parties agree to it & it's safe & legal.

Jakubclaret

No, it's not correct. It's a silly rumour, possibly made up by people who can't believe that Kompany could disagree with them. No club would ever put that contract term in, and it probably wouldn't be enforceable anyway. (And what possible interest could a previous club have in such a clause?) Why ...

Jakubclaret

I occasionally read on here that Trafford has a clause in his contract that he must be selected to play except for injury Is this correct? He is a signed player not a loan. Is he , or his previous club able to enforce such a contract condition? (apologies if this is a repeat query. My computer skil...

Yep, I agree. Doubt we’d be in a different position but would’ve offered more balance for sure. Strange one.

Lots of things are strange. It's a club where people aren't making best interest decisions & there's a complete lack of accountability.

Jakubclaret

There's not much in it it's a sad state of affairs when the last chink of positivity rests on not finishing bottom & that's all realistically that's left of a dark season that could & should have been far different.

Jakubclaret

In hindsight it looks a bit strange we went for a 6th left sided winger in Redmond over Townsend who’s looked decent in the right whenever he’s played. Can only imagine it was his age that factored in (Redmond a couple of years younger). It was a mistake not getting him I'm pretty sure he would hav...

He's made a rod for his own back with the haphazard approach to recruiting mainly targeting players he thinks the club can make a quick buck on in the future & not focusing on what's needed to be competitive in the top league.

I’m going to have to disagree, it’s basic financial management to mitigate and plan for possible and probable events.

Absolutely, it wouldn’t be cheap but isn’t ’unaffordable‘ by any stretch should the need arise.

Not that I’m expecting it anytime soon.

Not if you keep on borrowing it isn't.

Jakubclaret

I think it was Koleosho who was signed instead, so that was the better deal Nothing in it for me between Redmond and townsend, so nothing lost there It's difficult to compare between them all. I can remember the big fuss when we was in for Townsend all the baloney about fitness issues & previous in...

So not even 1st choice

He doesn't have to be they aren't doing so bad without him. Townsend would have only played a similar role for us as redmond, well before he got injured. Townsend was a wage until the season ended & a option the question is would he have been a better option.

Jakubclaret

About 20 times you’ve said we can’t afford to sack him. Roughly, very ball park, how much do you envisage it’d cost us? When’s his contract up? Do you think it’d be cheaper to sack him as a champ manager (another year further into his contract and you’d imagine on a reduced salary )? Don’t you thin...

I honestly don't understand how some fans think we'll maintain this squad and add to it, it's guaranteed we sell this summer. Any decent offers will be considered then we'll try and rebuild again that's what's made this season so daft because we can't keep doing it that way. We've spent all our pre...

I am with this article - the angriest shout the loudest .... no one is happy we have 13 points but I think 80% of fans want him to stay and 19% of the fans that want him to go will quickly change their minds if we are smashing it again 10 games into next season.... that said .... if we are nowhere ...

Jakubclaret

Perhaps he read the thread on here where the majority wanted him to stay Perhaps he doesn't hear any Kompany out chants at games to be able to come to that conclusion I didn't say I agreed with everything he said, or supported everything he said, I just that it was a more balanced article than vers...

Team who finished 21 points behind Burnley, spent 20% of what Burnley did and currently have almost 50% more points this season, suggests one team is progressing and one is regressing? Does that matter? Burnley have acquired talented individuals, Luton have improved their team. I think that's overb...

You seem to be saying we can't afford to sack him.

Is that because of the money we've squandered this season or as well as?

You could say that & it wouldn't have helped. Quite a clever strategy when you think about it spend all the dosh so there's not enough to pay you out

You must have £20 mil probably north as a rough estimate spare knocking around as loose change.

According to some on here in the not too recent past he was destined for the dizzy heights managing man city. The sensible 1s called the crap out & said just wait let's see how he does this season first.

A bit embarrassing I agree but if Burnley are aiming at being a yo yo club then it doesn’t really matter I suppose. That served west brom well for awhile it's been a few years now in the wilderness.

I'd hardly call the loss of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha "getting away with it" granted they'd be in a far better position if he was still alive for sure. He cared about the club far more than the other members of the family.

Jakubclaret

It's possible. But realistically Kompany is a very rich man. He spent multiple seasons on an eight figure salary and he could do that again if his managerial career is successful and he ends up at Man City. Is he going to endanger his ambition in order to get a bit of commission on a player sale? I...

They have significantly improved performance wise since heckingbottom although the results could have been better. Wilders actually gained more points than Kompany since being reappointed on a game by game comparison.

It must feel like an almighty consolation to some people to be reassured that we aren't the worst team in the PL heaven forbid how people will react if they get any sort of result tonight against arsenal & in doing so dump as down at the bottom.
