I think even your lady lawyer would know that the minimum notice period that an employee has to give to cancel his contract is 7 days unless the employer agrees to vary that. Seems clear that Morton did not agree either to cancel the contracts or vary the notice periods. This is probably why most managers resign and wait a wee while before the join the new club.
By seeming to use the trio on the say day they worked for Morton it would appear your club have acted in association with them to breach their contracts.
So that'll be a grand total of 21 days compo between the three of them.
Thanks for clearing that up, you utter fanny. If there was a legally watertight notice or compo amount in the Contract then lawyers would have been called, as that's pretty much a legal slam dunk. All that's happened is Morton have sent a letter to the spfl. Speaks volumes.

Strange that. So if you go to England you can play straight away mental. The herefore fans aren't half going to be scunnered when they hear what thbeir manager says and then actually see what they're getting.
You just know he's going to be fucking awesome down there. Whether it's a case of levels, too far from home or a rotten atmosphere up here. Could well be a player who had a lot of promise and got well and truly lost along the way. He was shite here, but that's hardly been exclusive to him. No hard feelings if he picks up again.

He tapped us up.... Beautiful.
Laing will be standing in front of the judge, who will be holding up a model of the stadium.
"Mrs Laing, can you show the court on the model where Mr McKinnon tapped the club?"

Hope you are not the one advising the club on its litigation strategy. The first route to compo is against the three who broke their contracts. Ultimately it might well be the club that settles on their behalf but initially a multi pronged attack is the best approach I think though there is a short time limit for raising actions in employment cases. . No reason why Morton should leave it with the SFA if their decision is legally perverse.
Given the vague nature of any potential punishment for Falkirk should the cases be decided against them it might be sensible for them to try and do a deal with Morton and get the complaints withdrawn.
That'll be a civil case then, theres no registration of staff contracts with a governing body, so little the spfl can do other than a slap on the wrist, which is exactly why nobody here can remember a club or manager ever being sanctioned.
The SFA have even less to do with it. Since there's been no hint of a civil or employment law case being raised and the only thing filed has been a wee letter to the spfl which has no idea how to even handle it, you have to assume Rae has gotten fed up rolling around in his own shit and has gone off for a shower.

Ive only skim read the last 4 pages, have we signed Callum Tapping or not?
We've left his agent a voicemail.

If the spfl are going to drag it out, I hope they release the verdict the last working day before Christmas. Just to maximise the hilarity for someone.

The irony
You've spent weeks saying nothing was happening, insinuating that Morton hadn't actually made a complaint and that anyone who thought this could possibly go to a tribunal is an idiot. It has now been confirmed that a complaint was made and a tribunal will take place, which proves you were talking utter bollocks. You can drop the ITK act.
Like the rest of us, you have absolutely no idea how the SPFL are going to rule on this. Maybe they'll take one look at it decide Morton are being ridiculous and throw it out while ordering Morton to cover any costs Falkirk might have accrued. Maybe they'll decide Falkirk are guilty of the alleged rule breaches and hand down any of the possible punishments available to them. Like me and everyone else, you don't know what's going to happen because you haven't seen McKinnon's contract with Morton and weren't party to any of the conversations between Falkirk, Morton and McKinnon on the day he went to Falkirk. It's okay to admit that you don't know what's going on.
Thank you.
Now you can take all your pals and feck off back to your own thread. Shows over.

We got less than 150k in the end
Still more than I was expecting in fees, at the time.
And also, the Morton fans still seem a bit damaged. Has nobody offered them a hug?

He hasnt grasped anything about context or interpretation but aye its a start.
To be fair, he struggles with positioning and finding space. Context may well be beyond him.

235k if I’m correct.
Was that for Stewart alone, or Chris Mitchell as well? Either way, it was hilarious. More than we could have sold him for if we'd wanted to.

Mind when a tribunal decide that Mark Stewart was worth a small fortune? Tribunals, for development compensation or otherwise, have been known to arrive at some very strange decisions from time to time.
Like most, I'll be watching with interest.
It'll be fun. I still chuckle at that decision. Development fee tribunals are wild things. This thankfully, is a legal based one. There will need to be hard evidence of wrong doing or it'll be another tear stained presser from Crawford Rae.
If it goes against us, we'll at least have good leverage to force the board out. If it goes for us, we'll have to dig out Ainslie and go fishing.

Does anyone actually hold the contracts of staff in the same way that player registrations are held by the SFA? If not, then would any breaches of staff contracts be a civil matter in the same way as any other standard contract?
So other than a small slap on the wrist, I'm not seeing what could come of this.

No, he didn't.
He's just in before branch ton. They are now going to have to prove tapping a manager that their chairman has admitted giving them permission to speak to. They will also, somehow, have to prove we induced McKinnon to walk out on his contract. Which will involve the legal teams getting a look at the contract, and any clauses in said contract.
Spicy.
And none of that, even if proved, will involve compensation being paid. This will be points deducted, or a sanction on the club. If Morton want compo, they need to be after McKinnon, and that's firmly in tumbleweed territory at the moment.

Haber could play every minute until the end of the season and fail to score. Genuinely not fucking interested and we are stuck with him, as Dundee don't want to be paying his wages. So we currently have players who can't play and try hard and players that can play but don't try. Brilliant.
We need a hungry b*****d in defence, one in midfield and one up front. Don't have to be great, but a bit of talent and the hunger to actually use it. f**k, I'd take a Carl Finnegan.

Relieved to hear we are still looking for strikers, at the very least it will keep the ones we have left looking over their shoulders.

We need the entire squad to retire en masse with immediate effect if we are going to be able to afford a genuine squad overhaul to get us out of this shitstorm we are in. The more I dwell on it, the more five new faces seems four too short.

You wanted us to keep the Dylan Mackin who has just signed for Stirling Albion. Who are 8th in league 2. Bonkers.
He tries and he had scored. That makes him a better keep than Haber. The fact he's gone and Haber is still here has to be down to someone being unwilling to cancel the loan, as opposed to any actual abity that Haber has shown. Not hard to see really.

They’re both fucking shite. Imo Mackin was at least trying but he was just that bad. Haber however has clearly got some talent got quite a few caps for Canada and season before last was a real threat for Dundee in the Premiership. However he’s not put any effort in at any point this season clearly doesn’t give a f**k.
I’d be more than willing to let him go to another Championship team. A lot of fans seem to like him because he looks angry a lot and he’s passionate or some other bullshit but he really is a terrible defender.
Fantastic at penalties though. Just a pity we don’t have the ball in the box often enough to be able to get a few.It's not much of a choice, but I'll take the shite player that tries, over a shite lazy one that can't even trap a ball into him.

They have a new manager now though.
They do, though his main concern would surely be getting the shite he has out, not bringing more shite in.
Our best bet is somehow luring Haber into the trebuchet, firing him into the sea, and reporting him missing.

Just getting Fasan out the starting lineup improves us.
I wonder if McInally will want Haber back at Dundee? I hope we have asked the question!
I would imagine we asked that and either Dundee or Haber were unwilling. Hard to imagine we punted Mackin, who was dross but had scored, before Haber, who is just dross and is costing more.

Five mobile players that are comfortable with the ball at their feet and actually understand how to play football. At this stage, I'm not even sure it matters where they play, what matters more is that they CAN play.
Should probably spread them out a bit or we'll likely end up with three right backs out if the five. A replacement for Paton and a striker would seem a must though.

There was a black guy in the Players Lounge yesterday (in addition to Prince). He looked familiar but just couldn't place him.
Hopefully you're shite with faces and it turns out to be Morgaro Gomis.

Signing someone who doesnt even play the sport may be more effective than half our signings in the summer.
If that's the case, can we get Martin Brodeur between the sticks?

I hope you're wrong, he's been dragged up here and sold a pup just as much as we were. Nobody deserves to be defined by this shite for the rest of their career.
It's always a slow day in Greenock.
