You hire a driver for your firm.
At weekends, he does some taxi work, and get done for drink driving, and gets a ban.
He wasn't working for you at the time, but for another company. Can you reasonably expect him to be able to drive for you?
I can understand Liverpool not being happy, but they should sue Suarez in that case. He's the one that's caused this issue for them.
In a work situation he would be part of a disciplinary procedure and would be exited from the company as he was unable to do his job.So no I would not expect a driver to continue working as it would be against the law.
They are not an asset valued at 60 Million so different rules apply as is the norm in football.
Yes, I agree, football operates under different rules, particularly in light of his value to the club, but that is Liverpool's choice to stick with him.
One would assume there is sufficient provision in his contract to deal with these issues where they can terminate his contract or move him on. They clearly won't terminate his contract for the 60 million reasons you've said. But that's their choice.
Technically he still is subject to disciplinary procedures by his employer, but they'll choose not to be as harsh as a conventional employer would be.
I sympathise with LFC, but not much. It was reasonably foreseeable that he might commit another offence at some point, and that's what's happened.
Reminds me of Balo,always had your heart in your mouth worrying what he would do next.
