Quite how that equates to being a Tory only you can figure.



FWIW I agree with Bren2k.From first hand experience of watching a complete tool cost my company thousands whilst employing her and then having the cheek to claim unfair dismissal even after the due process had been followed.

The no win no fee vultures were happy to pursue though.Thankfully at tribunal it was thrown out.Personally i think it indicates more about the" compensation culture" we now live with.



Would those greedy employers be similar to the greedy employers that spent money they didnt have whilst running our club into the ground.



Would those greedy employers be the same ones that on numerous occasions that couldnt pay their employees on time.



Would those greedy employers be the same ones that rather than stick their hands in their pockets,begged for supporters to bail them out.



Oh,my heart bleeds for Ted and his merry band,whilst he contemplates proceedings from the comfort of his villa in Cyprus others have had to write off thousands.

Not all ET1 claims are accepted by the Tribunal office, they have to be assessed on whether it is a legitimate claim or not at that point. Then ACAS get involved to try and resolve the situation amicably to save court time. Advice will be given as to whether they actually have a cats chance in hell or not. Also any payment as part of a redundancy package will be considered as a whole, and also what has been done to attempt to get another job in the subsequent time since leaving the post. If someone has done naff all in the meantime, and had a decent redundancy payment at the time, then it is possible that the court will refuse to hear the case.

Didn't Steve Macnamara once try the same?

At this moment we don't know who is trying to make a claim and for what reason so i'm for biding my time before having my say, i would find it hard to feel anything but disgust if this turns out to be the case.



We are all in the dark and theres no point any of us getting wound up

(sorry bad joke) by this untill we know the facts.



Let the club deal with it and lets do what supporters do best.

Didn't ted say that if fans raised the £500k that he would walk away without a penny, and just be a fan?

Well he's walked away without a penny and if this turns out to be true, employment law or not, are these the actions of a "fan"?

Is Ted Richardson taking the club to an employment tribunal over unfair dismissal?

That would appear to be the rumour.

Don't think there is a link so we'll let that go.

I doubt it; to make an unfair dismissal claim, the claimant has to be an employee. My understanding is that Ted wasn't employed by the club so there would be no claim he could make.

So you don't know? I see.

Yeah, although it's a pity we're giving an airing to more negative stuff about the club without some solid factual basis. As The Clan said:

As I didn't start the thread, that is why I said rumour, you see.
