Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm just surprised he's not got his pals to publish that Ryan Porteous and James Penrice will be imminently signing for Airdrie if they appoint him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Things on the Facebook group don’t normally get to me, but this (from a post speaking about Aitken’s links with Airdrie) has me seething. Why even bother supporting Dumbarton? Why not just follow Aitken up and down the country? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even bother supporting Dumbarton? Why not just follow Aitken up and down the country? That's absolute deviant behaviour tbh and I'd rightly be raging if that was a "fan" of Airdrie.There's wishing a former manager well (as a few airdrie fans have done with Findlay) but to hope his next team gubs us is a step too far"In the sea" springs to mind. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with people wishing Stevie well. I have no issue with people who believe sacking him was the wrong decision. But to react like we’ve just sacked a club legend despite being in a great position, and hope that the club lose as a result is very, very odd behaviour.If you guys appoint him the above fan (and Aitken’s Army) will go to a few Diamonds games to wave at him. They do the same with quite a number of their former favourites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His compensation will be down to his contract with the club. It doesn't get cheaper if he takes another job. Sometimes it does. If a manager isn't just paid off, he can continue to receive his wages up until the point he finds alternative employment. No it doesn't. Before an employee is paid off they may be placed on paid leave, euphemistically described as gardening leave. That only really means that the compensation period in question is reduced the longer an employee remains employed by that business. Stevie could be offered a job today but it wouldn't change the compensation that we'd owe him under his contract with Dumbarton. We owe him based on his contract with Dumbarton and subsequent jobs have no impact on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have to keep paying Conti (was he last season's manager, I can't keep track) his regular wage but this stops as soon as he is employed elsewhere. All down to the terms of the contract, I suppose, but nice non-work if you can get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who am I to question their validity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I love how they discuss Aitken's Army as if it's some sort of official organisation. I was howling at that disbanded comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, he's owed it, so we need to pay it. As for that facebook page comment, imagine being so utterly annoyed at someone else's opinion that you actively wish defeat on your team. Minter doesn't even cover it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
