The Sack Race 2017/18

[Marked Ox]

Nowhere near an expert in this but is there an opposite to 'constructive dismissal' when the employee creates an environment by performing badly intentionally or where his/her actions/inaction cause their dismissal for financial gain from that immediate sacking?
In the normal world a sacking is preceded by the 'progressive steps' warnings process that could take weeks/months/years however...if it could be proved in a tribunal, especially if this is similar to his sacking at Gillingham, it might save us both some money?

You'd struggle to prove that in a tribunal as he isn't doing anything outrageous in terms of doing his job especially as Kelvin Thomas knew that is how he operated at Gillingham.

Pennock has gone

Pennock has gone

Damn shame he was doing a fine job keeping you in the bottom four

 

[Camborne Gills]

Finally.

 

[DarkSithLord]

John Sheridan has also just departed Oldham Athletic.

Pennock was a stupid appointment to start with.

Pennock was a stupid appointment to start with.

100% agree, was stupid even as a short term appointment let alone giving him the summer to build a 'team'.

6 wins in 32 games says it all

Exactly and now Oldham have fired Sheridan just when I thought we might avoid the bottom four

 

[GFCSludge]

Don't worry, we'll still be there or thereabouts come May.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Gillingham should hire Sheridan as he's good at rescue missions. Maybe wait until January when you're deep in the shit first - that's when he's at his best.

 

[StuartD]

Really surprised about Sheridan considering he was allowed to bring in 4 permanent and 6 loans at the end of the August window.

3 out of the bottom 6 have now sacked thier managers and shows that teams continue to panic.

Can't believe the timings of these sackings. We had northampton 2nd game of JFH's rein, now we have Oldham saturday and gillingham the following week!! typical

 

[RobboPOSH]

Brilliant, we play Oldham tomorrow.

 

[KeithH]

I feel left out!!

Get Shez in at Bury.

He'd do a job with the squad you have at your disposal.

 

[GFCSludge]

I don't want Lee Clarke to be sacked (sorry Shakers) on the grounds that he gives the impression during interviews of being the saddest man in the entire world, which is oddly entertaining. When he was struggling with Birmingham he was nearly in tears for most of his post-match interviews. I can't work out which is sadder, his face or his voice.

 

[Marked Ox]

Pennock to Oldham, Sheridan to Gillingham for a perfect swap.

Job jobbed.

 

[KeithH]

Get Shez in at Bury.

He hates Bury and with most of our lot the feeling is mutual

 

[Burberry]

Add Clarke to them 2 after tonight.

 

[K-Win]

Any Gills fans on here missing a dose of Justin Edinburgh can catch him on the latest Totally Football League podcast. Apparently he left you in good shape?

Did he fuck.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Did he fuck.

He may well have done as well as leaving you in good shape
