steelboy Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 What? The entire situation with Law is a farce. We agreed to let him go without terminating his contract, he asked to come back, we don't want him but he is still employed by us. If the club take him off the website, don't give him a squad number or don't let him train he would have a case for constructive dismissal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 He's put it on his own Twitter. Folk thanking him for his time and he's responding. Also said to Erwin he will hopefully see him soon. if he did , its been removed , his polite reponses to good wishes are still there but not anything from him about a move that I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Given that Oldham seem to be dragging this Robinson thing out forever it could be that he's heading that way? As steelboy says though as long as he's still officially contracted to the club they need to adhere to those terms. Essentially he's at the club until he's not.

CrosshillWell Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Being 'free to find another club' whilst under contract is not unusual for players. It may well be that his agent and legal team nay negotiate a severance package, but professional footballers' contracts are very different from employment framework of other employers.

CrosshillWell Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Interestingly, in light of the Robbie Leitch scenario, Newcastle have just signed Stuart Finlay, 20, to their development squad after his 'release' by Celtic. I wonder if this mirrors Leitch going to Burnley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its not unusual. However, if a club wants to sever a player's contract its not unusual for it to offer some compensation. Why should it be any different for a player who wants to sever a contract? There are a number of players who have bought out their contract. Players can't have it both ways. That said, some kind of mutual agreement is usually reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superward Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 As with everything it will work itself. He will get another club, there will be no tribunals and we will have to find someone else to post most of the blame on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 We are contracted to pay you for a year. If you leave, we can demand a transfer fee l. If you stay, you will not play. If you find a club, we will not demand a fee. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constructive dismissal and wrongful dismissal are 2 entirely different things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Will never be the greatest of Motherwell players, but fair play to him, he never hid and he did his best. All the best Josh. Can you imagine if someone like Tom Hateley had Josh Law's attitude? What a player he'd be then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshillWell Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 In the same respect that we've seen ZFA, Straker and Chalmers trying to replace Hammell and not making the grade, we've had Page, Ramsden, Saunders, Reid and a few others trying to make right back their own, especially since Hateley left. Law was never an orthodox full back, neither was Hateley, that is something we've missed since Corrigan. The joke in the forum over the last two seasons about how many right backs the club had, yet the only one to have settled in that position was Law. He goes with my best wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
