It does not take a long time over anything that leads to instant dismissal. People can quite legally be marched out of the office. Now redundancy is a different matter. There is a long consultation period and indeed you can't just sack people because you feel like it. As far as I know those are the only two ways employers can get rid of employees, sack them or make them redundant. If Wigan no longer want Gleeson at the club then making him redundant is not going to free up the cap space as compensation would be due. If Wigan wanted to sack a player but found due to procedural problems they could not and so compensation was due, then that's a screw up. No idea if that is what has happened here but sacking someone does not need to be a long drawn out process. Ask Ian Millward about when he was at Saints.

I agree with DaveO, having conducted more than enough disciplinaries and dismissals through the years i can state that these can and usually are sorted within a matter of days, two weeks tops. If Gleeson has been suspended (and lets face it we don't know if he has or hasn't) then the club has had more than enough time to carry out an investigation and called Gleeson back in to face a disciplinary hearing. Its interesting to read in the post today that it states Gleeson & Wigan have come to a settlement agreement which tells me that the club haven't followed the disciplinary route but has put Gleeson on gardening leave pending a severance deal, all in all this has been handled terrible by Wigan.

Where I work it regularly takes months. You think its been handled terrible, I dont. Everyone will have their own opinion on the issue. Lets just leave it be and see what happens in the coming days, weeks, months?

Are you sure you are not confusing dismissal with redundancy? The latter always takes months. The former is usually over and done with very quickly.

No. Lets leave this and look forward to Catalan

Exactly.







If true that will mean any money paid will count against the cap. Not how you want things to be done if so.

How about this for a possible scenario....



1 Gleeson is not suspended or anything like it.

2 He has been given compassionate leave to sort out serious problems in his personal life.

3 When (or if) those issues are sorted he will either be back or move on but that will only be discussed after his issues are sorted.

4 Gleeson is not in control of the timescale of getting his issues sorted, another 'agency' is.

5 For many reasons, the club can't possibly discuss these issues.



You never know it might be the truth.



Pure speculation of cause.

The Gleeson affair really seems to have brought you out of your shell this season, Dave.



Has there not been anything else you've wanted to talk about?

I am sure you can find several posts on other threads posted today.



FYI the reason I have not been on the boards as much lately was due to a family bereavement.

Why not simply issue a statement to this effect then?

Gone!

"serious distraction in his personal life in which he was the victim - all of which have made it impossible for him to focus properly on his career "



now it seems most of the rumours/gossip are true.



i fancy we;ll hear more from other sources, and i fancy up until now the club hasnt known how things would pan out.



now we can move on ans the moaners about the club saying nothing can shut up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
