I think you’re missing the point Baggiematt. I’m saying that footballers can, if they choose and if they have a real case, use employment legislation. The link I have provided in my previous post is interesting and explains why it is an option but also provides reasons why it may not be happening in football.

It would be unethical for any footballer to make an application for unfair dismissal based solely on the fact they are dropped. Their case would fail and would likely be ‘struck out’ by application, as there would be no real chance of success.
