Citizen of Ottawa said:Am I the only one who finds the way he's being treated disgusting? If that was me I'd do something similar. It's just a massive slap in the face, and if my boss treated me like that I'd probably punch him. If something like this was said over an email I don't know what I'd do.
I understand that he's turned possible transfers down but still, pretty rude way to treat an employee that joined the club expecting to be at the very least a 1st team player for the duration of his stay.
Oh right, well in that case City should just go against all conventional logic and stoop down to his level then.The cookie monster said:But he's not a decent employee,after the support city gave him & he throws it back in our face..
Stoop down to his level just because of an email(which is not proven) are you actually joking?Dubai Blue said:Oh right, well in that case City should just go against all conventional logic and stoop down to his level then.The cookie monster said:But he's not a decent employee,after the support city gave him & he throws it back in our face..
No, I'm not. If the email thing is proven to be true, it's a pathetic way for an employer to act, regardless of how the employee has been behaving. City should be above that kind of thing.The cookie monster said:Stoop down to his level just because of an email(which is not proven) are you actually joking?Dubai Blue said:Oh right, well in that case City should just go against all conventional logic and stoop down to his level then.The cookie monster said:But he's not a decent employee,after the support city gave him & he throws it back in our face..
We are dealing with an awkward character in adebayor & can imagine him ignoring citys calls on instructions upon returning for pre season,so if the email was the way to go so be it,i know where your coming from, but sometimes doing everything by the book with idiots like him is just not the way!Dubai Blue said:No, I'm not.

Dubai Blue said:Which is kind of ironic considering this is the very issue that Adebayor has with how City have behaved.
I have absolutely no problem with him being left at home to train with the reserves; he's clearly not part of our future plans and it is a lot easier for him to secure a transfer if he's not sitting on a bench on the other side of the world watching our first team playing a meaningless friendly.
BUT......there is absolutely no excuse for him being informed of this via an email from Mancini's secretary. Somebody from within the club should have sat down with him and explained the situation in person. It didn't necessarily need to be Mancini himself, but someone should have done it, be it Platt, Kidd, Marwood, or Cook. Anyone.
I couldn't really give a shit about Adebayor's feelings, but that is how a decent employer goes about things, and you can be sure that other players will be looking at this situation and thinking "Fucking hell, that's a bit harsh". And that is definitely not something you want current or future employees to be thinking; unless, of course, you're running the mafia.
That's slightly different. We can exclude the wages of players who signed before then but only for one financial year (this one) whether they're staying or not.Skashion said:It's my understanding that is the case anyway as a player who signed before June 1st 2010.Prestwich_Blue said:There's a good reason for his treatment and it's to do with Financial Fair Play. If we can show he's not part of our plans and we're looking to sell him then we can disregard the amount we charge for amortisation in the accounts, which is £5m a year.
