I wonder if Howard on the side has some thing similar in his contract which might explain his selection.
The contracts are that complex nowadays god knows what's goes into them.
Surely he can't be happy with the way he's playing while out of form though.
Also, what happens if he's simply not selected, which is the manager's prerogative? He'd still be paid.
It's not like he's selected and not turning up, in which case he'd be punished by the club - this is the reverse, how could he "punish" the club for 'breach of contract' apart from walking out and being jobless?
You were quick on the edit there Groucho. Any manager agreeing to such terms would need their head testing.
I'm dubious about this claim.
If it's true, which I doubt, can you imagine a player telling the like of Brian Clough that he'd only sign if he played a certain quota of games. He'd get a slap.
Edit, and a kiss.
I'm not saying anyone's a liar, as things like this are often a case of Chinese whispers, but I don't believe this rumour.
Well as a professional you'd expect him not to be happy with his form.
I know a lot of players get performance bonuses which make up a percentage of their weekly wage so not playing could possibly affect that. When I heard it today I thought it possible, due to some of things I used to get told back in the late 90's from a former youth product and (handful of games) first teamer.
If everton were to breach I'd suspect it'd be a penalty payment rather than a breach of contract.
We all know that these contracts nowadays are like war and peace, players requesting that they remain top earner and god knows what else
It'd be interesting to see if anyone could confirm it or deny it. Certainly got my ears pricked, not one for spreading rumours myself so general discussion topic
Be interesting to see how many games he starts next year lollol

Actually playing; the same principle as a score bonus, win bonus etc. The stuff in them cover virtually every angle, down to the player following a healthy lifestyle

100% agree with this. How a manager could sign a contract like that would be suicide for the dressing room. Any player playing out of their skin being dropped for someone who is playing garbage would destroy team morale.

Id personally have him rotating with Gibson and Barkley, as he likes to get foward. I guess he's sort of like Gibson, plays well foward or back and knows when/where to cover open ground...

Wow! This thread has everything - a scapegoat, a conspiracy theory, an obtuse dig at the manager and chairman. And all in a week when there are no fixtures.
Can't wait for the next 100 pages.
