TBG Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think the closest we're going see to an official statement for now will be when the teamsheet is handed in tomorrow. We'll announce it during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This has been going on for a while and he's still been on the teamsheet so I imagine (hope) he'll play tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now who blinks first? How is that? Just let him go for peanuts because he's unhappy and allegedly dipped his wick? Yep, we have little choice.

Superior Acuña Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 His personal problems are likely our own fault for telling him he can shag our wives. Really feel like he should wait til the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Can't we just give him time off to sort this crisis out. Rather lose him for 5 games than permanently. Rather he was unhappy and we didn't get relegated personally. This. He's a professional footballer. He needs to get on for what he's paid to do. Easier said than done. Can anyone honestly say there is nothing in their personal life that would make you miss work if it went tits up? I know I cant. Only in a few certain jobs could you get compassionate leave.

Now who blinks first? how can we possibly have no choice tho? If the options are: 1. Pay him and he refuses to play. 2. Cancel his contract. The club would take option 2 every time. The rest of his contract is worth £10m in wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well, if he really doesn't want to be here we may not literally have "no choice", but that's certainly what it boils down to in practical terms.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot use normal jobs as an argument involving footballers, they just aren't comparable, I'm also guessing that in most normal jobs you aren't stuck thousands of miles away from your family. Also it doesn't look as though Coloccini is asking for compassionate leave here, if reports are true he's willing to throw away his career and millions of pounds so it's clearly important to him that he needs to go. Hopefully it's just a particularly bad time that will pass sooner rather than later, or if he does have to leave we can convince him to come back whenever he's sorted.

I would have been laughed out of the workplace in some jobs for asking for time off for personal reasons. Guess it all depends on the employer.

I'm hardly a millionaire and I get compassionate leave. If my family buggered off to Argentina, i'd have to leave like. This is what Colo is trying to do.
