No but he surely can’t claim unfair dismissal if he’s still here but suspended?

[Toronto Villa]

Where do we keep finding these fucking people?

Between managers and executives just think about how much we've spent on salaries, bonuses and dismissal compensation in the past 8 years. It's not just enough to make you cry, but with that money we literally could have hired some the best in those positions Europe had to offer.

Not to mention the feckless wasters among the playing staff, from Warnock to McCormack via Gabby. What an unbelievable accumulation of fuckuppery.

It looks like all those worried about the involvement of this bloke and Samuelson being involved and drawing in an unsuspecting foreign investor with the intention of relieving them of much of their cash for thier own gains may well have been on the mark to me!

What a c**t.

What a c**t.

Why - If you were dismissed incorrectly this is the course of action any person would take.

[Jon Crofts]

He hasn't been dismissed so can't claim unfair dismissal, and if he wanted to claim constructive dismissal he has to resign, then he can make a claim at an employment tribunal for constructive dismissal.

[Duncan Shaw]

It sounds like he's probably resigned, but those saying why, surely he is completely washing his hands of any culpability in our plight with this course of action?

[paul_e]

I don't think we know anything like enough to know what sort of claim he has. On one side (i.e. the press that Wyness appears to be speaking with) he saw we were fucked and tried to do something about it and Xia got pissy and suspended him. On the other side you have the Collymore argument that he wasn't just trying to generate income but was actually providing documentation to potential buyers without the owners consent, which changes to story massively.

[TheTimVilla]

We're getting in to Gareth Barry/penalty territory here!

I wonder if Mervyn King would be interested in coming back, now that Lerner is well off the scene?

[cheltenhamlion]

Collymore seems nearer to the mark for me. And Wyness has resigned according to something I read earlier.

Not necessarily.

Well firstly there's no evidence that he's been dismissed, or quit, as of yet. After that we don't know why he was suspended and what actions the club have taken since, if they suspended him for sharing sensitive data with a third party then that's a perfectly legitimate suspension to allow them to investigate. Without much info we really can't say whether he's in the right here or not but my gut instinct is that he's chancing it a little to try to get a bigger payoff, which is a shitty thing to do knowing the circumstances.

Unfortunately in the blame culture world we live in, then its fairly common to launch an action like this. Most HR's companies advise you to settle rather than go to tribunal in case you lose, so you make a offer well below the claim thats been asked for, and normally they scuttle off. For the company the time and effort of a tribunal with the possibility of losing makes it worth it. However in our line of work we are talking a couple of months extra salary, not 100's of thousands or even millions of pounds

which is a shitty thing to do knowing the circumstances

This was my point (but I made it badly).
