can you sack players?

Think to get rid of them you have to pay the remaining years of their contract.

We could do a deal with McDonalds and pay Arshavin in burgers. Watching him slurp through a wheelbarrow full of them might be a bit harsh on the fans though. Or watching Chamakh go through a barrow full of hair products. Or Gervinho wallowing in a barrow full of manure. Could get messy fast. But it would be more entertaining than the football I suppose.

Or kill them and make it look like an accident. Surprised this hasn't happened now Abramovich is in the game.

You don't really believe Muamba had a heart attack, do you?

not trying hard enough is a valid though isnt it? if i turned up to work and just mopped about and didnt really do anything, then i would be sacked for not working hard enough. thats ok.


on the money side, we have to pay them anyway, so surely paying them early helps us clear space etc. but guess thats more mutual termination

It's not valid because a players performance is too subjective, you can't prove someone wasn't trying hard enough when there are other factors involved, like the quality of the opponent and the possibility the player might just be plain shit. Also, if they're turning up to training every day they're not doing anything to breach the terms of their contract.

You can't compare the real world to this fucked up sport.

Well you can compare it, and it doesn't look nice at all.

Pretty much.

If I made as many serious mistakes as Gervinho does I'd have been long since sacked.
That chance last night, a tap in from 2 yards, and he couldn't finish it. Find were it a one off from an otherwise good player, these things happen to the best of us, but on the back of months of ineptitude...
It angers me that he gets paid so much to play football. And I'm paying some of it.

I'm getting rid of Sky after Christmas and the stealing the matches off the Internet. Only way to get something back from this club.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

in any normal job, if a person isnt working hard enough, failing to meet targets and failing to do the basics of their job right, they would get warned etc but keep doing it, they can get sacked.

we all know a manager can be sacked for failing to get results and meeting targets and winning trophies, but what about players? the only cases i know of players being sacked are for when they are caught doing drugs (mutu) and criminal activities (barton i think was sacked for it)

but what about sacking a player, for simply not being good enough, not putting effort in etc. lets take chamakh last night, came on, did nothing, didnt put the effort in, and missed a penalty. with strikers, they are not going to score every chance, but someone like chamkh was signed two years ago, every game he plays now, he is lazy, does nothing, could a case be made for sacking him, could the club do this?

why is it you can sack a manager for results, yet underperforming players dont get sacked. im sure you could make up bullshit, like he was training hard enough as well to help you explain why you sack him or is sacking a player to difficult because you cant expect a striker to score every chance, if he doesnt get the right service etc?


and would you accept someone sacking our players for underperforming?

No you can't and with the money making ****s at this club they will never do that, why they will not lose a penny. Id get rid of every player Except, Jack, Jenks, AOC, Santi, Theo, Sagna, Merts, Ches. Rest can feck off if i was in charge.
