It does look very manufactured and goes along with what I was told at the time that Marco Silva told Ehab Allam to get rid. When Silva criticised the rugby for the state of the pitch before the City game the day after, the groundsmen told him that it was the football that damaged it the most. Silva didn't like his reaction and told Ehab to get rid. This came from a very good source and with the rush of how things seem to have occurred and the lack of planning and process, it does look suspicious
Well the claimants are wanting reinstement/re-engagement on their old contract terms. That also might be something to do with getting rid so they could get someonr in on worse terms/fewer benefits. They could use the working time directive to their advantage if they are going to get an actual written contract IF they were reinstated, so they are not forced to work longer hours than they are paid for and/or not be forced to give up time in lieu because of the inability of the company to employ help to cover.. Simply employing other assistants and casuals for a few hours after games would resolve most of that. Given they had volunteers for city games at least SMC have benefitted financially for 16 years not to mention all the lost lieu time or salary payments.
The sad thing is that the amount of extra cost so that there would be the right number of staff or cover for lieu time is just but a pin prick compared to the over inflated wages, I'd hazard a couple of weeks wages of a lower earner even in the championship would cover it.

More than cover it! Hope the Allan's end up paying and not just adding it to SMC debt, wonder what would happen if the SMC company ended up being wound up?!?!?

We can only hope it is. Council could then start afresh with a more professional outfit.

Allams won't let it happen. It's like a slush fund, excuse company for them.

I wonder who this Andre character is, he's certainly very keen to defend the Allams
Very good, all we need is our local stalwarts of journalism and fighting for the common man. So, we're f'd, HDM are now Mirror Lite, Blunderside have no access or appetite for the cause and FC can't do or say much. it will all come crashing down, wether the two clubs go with it I doubt, certainly not FC with Adam in charge of the business.
Quote:The company running the KCOM Stadium has admitted unfairly sacking two long-serving groundsmen.
An employment tribunal was told today the SuperStadium Management Company (SMC) conceded senior groundsman Mark Harrison and his number two Darrell Cook were unfairly dismissed earlier this year.
But the SMC is arguing it should not pay compensation to the two men. The company contend their actions still warranted dismissal.
You couldn't make it up!!!
I guess the SMC are now saying the dismissal procedures were wrong.
Quote:SMC barrister: "How often do you attend at the stadium?" Ehab: "I'm there every day. That's my normal place of work."
Apart from match days I guess.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
