Lobey_Dosser Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Glad to see him punted. The fact that some of us, myself included, were content to see him sign is a painful reminder of how bad we were last Jan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think you can always tell how well or otherwise a player is regarded at a club by the length of the club statement when they leave. That one couldnt really have been any shorter...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 good luck to him. We've signed many a player over the last few years who simply aren't good enough for SPL, the sooner we spot this and let them leave the better. Suspect he'll have something lined up - hence the mutual ending of contact. There's a few others who could easily be in the same position ( irrespective of making/not making social media comments. ) The hard bit is them finding new clubs and wishing to cancel their contract.

weeyin Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'm old enough to remember when the chat on here was that Lawless was an example of a player we shouldn't have released. Having said that - he has spent 9 years playing in the top Scottish League, which is a decent career that many players we released would have been happy with. I'm not surprised we punted him he left by mutual consent after his recent shenanigans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Is he allowed to sign for another club given it was after the window closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's going to a league who have an open window he can't play for another club until the January window opens, no. I suppose there's nothing to stop him provisionally signing for another club but they'd be paying him two and a half months wages to come into training and I don't think his player registration could be transferred until the next window opens anyway.

The transfer window only applies to transfers between clubs, so as his Motherwell contract has been cancelled he is now a free agent with no club and can therefore sign for any other club he likes at any time.

That would only apply if we had cancelled his contract before the last window shut. It's why you see as many players get their contracts mutually consented on deadline day to allow them to sign for a new club outside the window and also why it's fairly uncommon for players to mutually consent outside a window. We didn't. He was still registered Motherwell player when the last window shut (he was literally in the team photo a fortnight ago). So while yes, he's a free agent now he can't play for another club until January unless he moves to a club where their transfer window is open.

If this is true, and Ive no reason to doubt it, why would Lawless agree to that? I wouldnt. He would effectively be agreeing to no wages until January, unless of course the club have paid up his contract until January to get him out the building.

MJC Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think it’s a certainty that there would have been some sort of ‘sweetener’ from the club to push his departure through. And given that he never appeared to be too bothered about not playing regularly whilst still on our books then I doubt he’ll be that hung up on having a few months without a club. He’s 30/31(?) now anyway and probably heading towards lower league football, possibly even part time which he could probably make last for a few years yet with the right club so I can see why he would agree to a severance from us if that is indeed the case.

There must be. Otherwise he could just have developed a "Deccy like" back injury and sat out with wages until January or even the end of the season. At least this way he is not using up club training or physio resources. Can we forget about him now please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
