PFA Back Tevez

A trade union is there to support the best interest of all it's members. Do the PFA want to be seen to defend the undefensible. They will loose any credibility by supporting Tevez in this situation. It will send out all the wrong messages to all players thinking they can get away with anything. Trade unions are their to protect against exploitation of the workers. Who is exploiting who I wonder?
 
By defending it they are saying players can literally do as they want.

They'll be calling for a player strike soon, or at least not take to the pitch!
 
is it true that taylor has a keano rag shirt hung on the wall of his office ?

I would sincerely hope that, as a Trade Union organisation, the PFA (whilst willing to look at the case) adhere to the fundamental aspects of what any good union should be about.
If they deviate from that then they will, and should, lose credibility.
A union member should be protected, but only if they have been dealt with unfairly and against Employment Law. If they haven't a leg to stand on then they should be told, early doors.

My sentiments entirely<br /><br />-- Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:35 pm --<br /><br />Looks like we are not the only one's who think the way most of us do.

Is Gordon Taylor out of touch with the fans?


Football News 24/7

According to the BBC today, PFA President Gordon Taylor believes the fine imposed on Carlos Tevez, by Man City, for refusing to warm up against bayern Munich in the Champions League game last month is excessive. Taylor attended the hearing with the striker and heard all the evidence presented at the hearing, and he says that the Argentina international never refused to play for the club.

He says that there is no justification for a fine other than the normal sanction of 2 weeks wages agreed by the FA, the Premier League and Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).

For a Union representing some of the richest workers in the land the stance looks to be out of touch with most opinion. We suspect Taylor will be hard pressed to find any support for his claim that Tevez has been hard done by from the club, football in general or the supporters.

Most fans might think Tevez has brought this on himself out of his own self interest and in our opinion it is to be hoped City stick to their guns on this.
