Happy Final Pay Day;

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Everton will have an occupational sick pay policy. Hopefully he's just on statutory sick pay now.

Would we have any kind of insurance policy that pays out against players’ injuries anyway?

 

[Sean Ashley]

Not when you have a signed contract that covers a set time.

Yes but this isn't the barometer you set you. You stated a general employee who doesn't cover those contract conditions.

Why is Dele getting the blame when it was Lampard & Co who gave him the contract?

 

[kithnou]

Keep.

Absolutely. But you'd hope EFC have insisted Dele is signed off by a doctor so they can then put him through the sick pay policy as per any employee.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Was just trying to illustrate the absurdity of expecting the lad to voluntarily take a wage cut when he was out injured, nothing else.

 

[Bilko]

You’re also presumably capable of working in that job till at least 65, which footballers can’t do. Hence why they have contracts that run for a set time, guaranteeing them their income until it expires, rather than the set up you’re describing.

Anyway it doesn’t really answer my question, if your boss asked you to take a pay cut during those first six months of illness how would you react?

Should also add I’m not defending the obscene amount of money footballers earn, just think it’s bizarre to expect the lad to voluntarily reduce his wage while out injured.

If I was a very wealthy individual working ( or not ! ) ,I would be very grateful that they would let me stay on in some capacity, take the help they offer to rehabilitate myself and yes if it was suggested to me while I was with a company who themselves are struggling to stay afloat to take reduced wages then yes , given the money I've earned already ,I would take reduced.

I agree with you. If it's me unless it's in my contract no way do I take a reduced pay.

However if I'm bound by an occupational scheme rules then I don't have a choice.

Ok mate. Think you’re living in a dream world but if you say so

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Actually having thought about it I’ve changed my mind. I remember the outrage when Seamus Coleman refused half pay after he broke his leg.

The people paying Dele's wages are infinitely more wealthy, so why should he loose out to help dig Mosh out of trouble

Fair enough, be honest I actually think Dele's performance against Palace to keep us up was worth the wages we paid him. So I wish him well and hope he gets to a healthy head space.

To so Many
For so little in return'.

Wise words that would equally be at home in the Seamus Coleman 23/24 Player Thread.

The thing I’ve never got about deli Ali and his health…

Why have spurs never commented or been questioned about there treatment of him ?

They must have known something wasn’t quite right and he was still technically there player wasn’t he ?
