Balotelli (continued - bust up with Mancini pg 18)

[robertsuki]

simple solution to this :- get rid of both of them!

Out - Balotelli - for some reason he will never perform consistently at City.

Out - Mancini - too many bust ups with players and ultra critical of individuals after poor team performances.

In - Falcao

In - Guardiola

Training ground incident. Happens all the time.. Big deal!
Having said that it's about time the paparazzi were kept away from our training sessions. Hate giving those lowlifes a living!

Still no ones been able to give me an example of a fight being photographed between a player and his manager. It is a big deal actually.

Not really mate.
How many other clubs regularly have paparazzi at their training grounds?
Think you'll find we are in the absolute minority there...
We are in the eye of the storm cos of our good fortune and all and sundry are out to get us. That's why we should be training behind closed doors. A good siege mentality does great things for team spirit so keep the bloody media out!

Storm in a teacup and BM goes into meltdown. Astonishing


Two Italians could have a fight over the colour of a cappucino cup

Being a Professional Football Player is no different from any other job.You have your work place, a manager who you are accountable to.A Union, and a shop steward.Football players have the same employment rights.

Like it or not Roberto Mancini attacking Mario Balotelli today is a serious offense,he has basically assaulted him in the work place.

Roberto could be instantly dismissed for gross misconduct and would not have to be compensated either.

Roberto has left himself wide open to all courses of action from his employer and Gordon Taylor from the PFU.

I love Roberto but what he did today was dumb.There might be serious ramifications unless we placate Balotelli and his agent immediately,by cutting our losses and making his move where ever beneficial to both party's

If football is the same as any other workplace how come fellaini wasn't sacked and prosecuted when he headbutted someone from a rival company?

I am only a bit clued up on work place law mate being an x -Unison rep.

Fellaini head butting some one is criminal law.

If Mario had gone to the odd lot today he could have tried to have Roberto done for common assault. like i said though there are employment laws that protect employees from bosses, managers man handling them in the work place.In my experience any employee proving they were assaulted by a supervisor,manager etc would result in instant dismissal for the perpetrator.no verbal or formal warning it is an instantly sackable offence.A big big no no laying your hands on anyone in the workplace.

I don't doubt you know a lot about employment law. But what I'm saying is that clearly football operates very differently from a "normal" workplace. If it didn't there would be players and managers sacked every week.

It's only in recent times that some training grounds have become like The Pentagon.

Not usual for managers to attack players.

Yeah and Tevez should have been sacked.Football as different rules.

All Employees have the same work place rights no matter where you work.Have a look around your office you will see some huge plate on the wall with minuscule small print( Health& Safety In The Workplace) and the government coat of arms at the top informing you off your rights to a safe working environment etc .Doesn't matter if you work on a building site ,office it is law to be up for you to read.

Health and Safety, lol. Do you think they would allow Zabs to put his head in where he does if that was enforceable on a football pitch ?

Actually maybe Zabman is in a different category.

This is simply incorrect. Employment law is full of exemptions to various trades and professions.

Police, armed forces, doctors, nurses, transport workers.

That's what I'm waiting for too. Lots of rhetoric and arguing around a point but no direct answer.

Although it is over the top for this instance, you're 100% correct to the letter of the law and the evidence is there to prove it.

They'll be banning footballs from the football pitch before long - too dangerous!
