I think that by displays, that result in relegation which cost them and their colleagues to lose 40% of their wages, whilst causing the dismissal of others, would in a workplace in the real world would result in dismissal.
As for attracting players, has it ever been different?
That sums it all up.

In Rodwells case; yes, worth every penny to get him out of the club.
It's been a lot better when it comes to attracting players - Bent, Malbranque, Zenden, Gyan, Darren Williams etc.
It would emulate a real world workplace, although, again, proving gross negligence is difficult anywhere!

The example I gave. In a real workplace, you perform in a poor way, for over three years, which results in your colleagues taking a pay cut of 40%, whilst in your/rodwell case, you lose nothing, your performance also means that numerous others are made redundant, would be the most obvious case of gross negligence ever

Well put mate, there's some right thickos on here
The problem is, well, how do you prove that Rodwell, to use an example, is directly responsible? It does seem like, given the way players seem to be controlling things, they should be sackable for very long term shoddy performance but, in reality, short of them thumping someone on the pitch, attacking a team mate in training or commiting a crime, they won't be sacked. The major problem is that professional team sport is one of the few lines of employment in which someone is both an employee and a valuable asset.
I read rotten greggs and got livid it was gannin to waste.

What about getting him on his sickness/injured record? I've known people being sacked for that in a normal workplace
As for a valuable asset, really? Rodwell will leave safc at the end of contract, after costing the club , all in , approx £30 milion.
Actually, that might work (depends on how the injuries happened). One of the problems we have is that the loons who employed him are long since gone. Some of the others mentioned as potential sackings are daft anyway (although Kone for repeated stupidity in our penalty area might work).
It’s a strange deal in football.
You can have your contract terminated in any job for being shit...but no, not in football.

And employees can sue for wrongful termination. The main difference is that footballers can usually afford legal costs involved...

The only action taken against incompetent footballers is not being picked for the first team ,which may have an affect on win bonuses and the like. As most of them are sitting pretty on lengthy lucrative contracts, they don’t really care. They can only be sacked for serious professional misconduct which will be identified in the contract. We have had a recent example of this.

wooahhh... The answer is here after all. Redundancy! All you have to do as an employer is confirm that a particular job no longer exists and then you can turf out who you want that fits the role... So all we have to do (for 6 months) is confirm we are no longer needing midfielders et voila, problem solved. Our midfield are like ghosts anyway so who would notice if we genuinely didnt have one?
