In that case anoyone on the subs bench can make the same claim. once we're paying him I don't see how that could happen

They can make that claim but obviously most on your bench know they won't get better elsewhere. GOC would obviously think he could.

And its happened elsewhere

Really?

Id have thought if your contract didn't explicitly state you'd be getting first tam action you wouldn't have a case...you'd still technically be working, training etc.

To complete the circle, Anto Murphy to Cork - Everyone's a winner!

its not a football thing, its an employment thing. If an electrician is employed as such but confined by the company to doing the paperwork associated with his job (that he has to do anyway) He can sue as they are denying him his right to work.

I'm not saying its going to happen btw, I'm just making the point that if GOC wants out it'll more than likely happen and it'll more than likely be to an el club

But surely his job description is to play football, which he will be doing in training etc. As i said if its not explicitly stated in his emplyment contract that he would be playing matches i don't see how it applies.

I see your point though but i disagree with it probably being an EL club

He can argue that training is "ongoing development" and of course he's being denied the right to earn playing/winning/scoring bonuses...

As is every other sub in the coutry who could probably get regular football with another team.....those are bonuses not his wages

If you don't turn up for traing then you are not available for "work".

Its hilarious the amount of rival fans who give George stick but ye all seem to be very happy your club would be making an effort to sign him.

This will be sorted in a matter of days. George & Rico will kiss & make up before the weekend is over...

Providing he'd be willing to change his name to Antnee Murphy

**green-blood** · 07/07/2006, 2:02 PM

dodge, that logic does not stand up, he has a contract at Cork, he cannot speak to any other club until the last 6 months of his contract without Corks permission, fullstop.

If an EL club offer Cork enough cash and GOC accepts the personal terms Cork will sell. Everyone has a price.

The key is enough. The price they'd accept from an EL team would be higher than what theyd loo for from a foreign club IMO.

Doesn't matter anyway cos he's not leaving

Already well documented that we don't have the funds to sign anyone, sure Nutsy said it in an interview within the past week or so. But to fuel the fire... I saw him in Tolka earlier...
