You strongly implied it when you said:

If that's not saying we shouldn't pay him up, I don't know what is.

then you're misunderstanding me, he should be paid reasonable recompense, but not a full years salary, IF he isn't capable of fulfilling his contract.

The drawback is,we could actually do with a player of his quality.Like some others I can`t see him wearing a Hull shirt again.

Re: Gleeson : Mon Aug 01, 2011 4:52 pm  

I hope he enjoys the train to Liverpool and then going to a concert with Longy tonight.

Wont the insurance kick in though to pay his contract? I was off last year for 12 weeks on full pay but if we go over the 13 weeks then it is SSP for another 3 mths then a insurance kicks in and pays you 80% of your wage.

End of the day....does it matter if we are paying him...surely his health comes 1st?????

Backtrack all you like, it was pretty clear. If he isn't capable of fulfilling his contract he is entitled to have it paid up - just as he would if he suffered a physical illness or injury.

no back tracking here, just you making stuff up.

Id be more ashamed if we did stop paying him.

I'll make this clear, I am not suggesting we do any such thing, what I believe we should do is clarify the situation so both parties can plan for the future, IF we end up paying him off then we should retain his registration. I hear different things, from that he is incapable of playing, to that he and Long are holding the club to ransom.

If its stress then he will be lucky to get out of bed...a close relative of mine had/has it and its not very nice at all.How are they holding us to ransom?

I would hope the club have a duty of care to their employees and treat him with the respect he deserves. If he is not ready by the start of next season then maybe looking at releasing him? Obviously I don't know the legality of his contract, but I would expect any reasonable employer to support a new member of staff, no matter what their role is, but there comes a time when the employer has to think of what's reasonable and economical.
