Gabby

if he refuses to go on loan is that not striking , when are we in the area of cancelling contracts ?

[Ron Manager]

He is going nowhere until his contract ends .Even then they will have to call in the SAS to prise him out!!

I'd be surprised if we can contractually insist on him playing for another club without his agreement.

I suppose he can train with the kids , but you dont really want him near them

Surely Gabby was in breach of his contract when he turned up too fat to play professional football? I don't get it. What does a player need to do before he can be sacked?

I'm guessing that it would have to be something very serious like failing a drug test.

Gross misconduct,being fat does not count.

Different rules seem to apply to footballers. Dennis Wise took a case as far as the Employment Appeal Tribunal arguing he should not have been sacked for breaking a team mate's jaw in an off field incident on a pre season tour.

You wilfully render yourself physically unable to do your job, yet you still get paid for not doing it.

Surely bearing in mind his off field behaviour, it would be cost effective in the most Machiavellian sort of way to set him up a way to fail a drug test.

Can't they spike his six-course lunch with performance-enhancing drugs at Bodymoor one day?  Anything to get the fat fuck off the wage bill.

[Edvard Remberg]

Gabby isn't on Twitter - that was a fake.  There is a tick on all official accounts

Good, he looks a twat in the avatar.

If he's still here at the end of the month, I wonder if he'll be included in the squad. If not, they should just tell him to go away for a year and see what happens. We still pay his wages but at least he is away from the club.
