He?s having a medical at MK as we speak ?..you heard it first, live from Brisbane.

I will drive him there, big headed so and so.. Lets get someone who wants to be a team player, and not another look at me..

Do you throw a wobbly every time a player leaves Notts? You do know they aren?t fans only employees.

We missed him when he was injured so only time will tell if we miss him now he’s gone.
I bet Nemane is pleased hoping for those lovely through balls inside the full back for him to run onto.

No issue with him going for more money and even to a plastic club and no issue with Notts not matching it.
My issue is him openly saying communication was going on and saying he was auditioning himself there whilst playing for Notts whilst all the time our fans blasting out his song, to me it?s totally classless.

Yes. This is where I am. It?s not what (although disappointing, undoubtedly the most creative player in that squad) it?s how. I?ll add to this that a player wanting to take a big money move in 12 months should either not take the security of a 2 year contract or at least keep their head down (see Langstaff). I don?t buy all this ?it?s a job? 💩. It is, but it?s also a legally binding obligation you?ve signed up to. If the club behaved the same (see sterling) it would be tantamount to constructive dismissal and considered totally unacceptable.

I think folk need to separate contract law in football from the real world.. contracts aren?t worth the paper they are written on in football. What industry do employees get paid up their contract when sacked? What industry has the employees with all the power? The answer is none except football.
Players know they have the power to force whatever they deem fit. DC has done this himself. In fact if DC had been more intelligent than he has been, he could have signed a pre contract at MK and added wonga to his pay whilst citing I?ve saved you 300k, so I want 100k signing on fee as an example.
Notts got an offer we deemed acceptable and DC wanted to go? move on, the club and player have.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment entirely, your contract law point is factually incorrect, it depends entirely on the terms of the contract and terms of dismissal especially with fixed term contracts (used in football). And football contracts are arguably slightly more binding as they contain a registration element without which, you cannot play for another club.

But you are right aside from that, nearly everyone on this board would change jobs for significantly more money.

In that, football is no different, except in the eyes of fans.

No i dont, but in this instance the guy is a complete dick... I struggle to see why so many are sorry to see him go... HE DIDNT WANT TO PLAY FOR US....
