Jose

[judge]

what an idiot , getting paid in a month what most people earn in a year for 3 hours work a week if they play 2 games , free health checks and free gym use, that would cost some 50 a month basic dietry assistance,
adulation , more free time than you can shake a stick at ,,all blown for what , a buzz

Id like to be sympathetic , but hes not worth the effort

yeah he is really gunna miss that

 

[Bladepicker]

I know very little about the detail of the Mutu case but it was some time ago now and I suspect that if his B sample had come back negative he'd have had a good case against Chelsea. Fortunately for them, it didn't.

Surely Jose b sample has come back positive. Or he wouldn't have a case to answer would he?

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

This is not a criminal trial.

Again Chelsea sacked Mutu before his F.A. hearing.

Criminal or not the analogy holds: Would you want a trial before you were sacked from your job or is the existence of evidence against you enough?

-----

Also fwiw Mutu admitted guilt and was then sacked.

[I should coco]

Think I said this 18 months ago and was abused massively.

Abused in a Wednesday way? What's that then, having to learn all their song, getting rust in your hair and wearing a blue and shite shirt?

There is no reason why United could not have have their own, internal disciplinary meeting (trial if you like) once his b sample had come back. I don't see why we didn't sack the dickhead 12 months ago.

 

[Gordon cowans]

Did i recall mutu had to pay Chelsea compo for serious breach of contract?!?,wonder if utd would go down this route if they could?,we are a bit skint like?

I would have topped myself

I did read Chelsea did sue, but Mutu never paid up and I don't think he's been back in the UK

 

[Blade56]

We're waiting for his guilty hearing .

Fixed it for you BB

 

[longinthe toothblade]

Source?

Didn't they tell you Kev?

Boycotting the Hate Mail

That reminds me, you haven't said anything about Edwards recently?

 

[Bladebri]

Baxter gives Snow White a whole new meaning.

 

[Darthblade]

Probably best to let the contract run out

Yep, I know its more money, but just let the twat fade away

Or, have McCabe put his wage cheque in the centre circle at half-time on matchday, so we can have a word

Or ...... use his wages to bring in a decent defender & striker till the end of the season .........

Nah ..... that's far too sensible for SUFC !!

UTB & FTP

"Caveman Keith" on Saturday.

 

[Darthblade]

Now THAT IS a fucking punishment and a half !!!!

You would have the European Court of Human Rights and every tree-hugger in the Country baying for your blood if you imposed that sort of punishment on anybody !!!

UTB & FTP

 

[bornablade]

Never mind Baxter. How's Ched got on today?

 

[MobileBlade]

"he is believed to be mounting a vigorous defence."

There's a joke in there somewhere Coco......

I think its on the Ched thread.

 

[longinthe toothblade]

"Caveman Keith" on Saturday.

Fuck me...........missed it

 

[BushBlade]

Surely Jose b sample has come back positive. Or he wouldn't have a case to answer would he?

Yes, probably has. But what happened is 2004 may not be relevant to how players are treated now. I'm not a lawyer and certainly not an expert in employment law but I'd guess the board took advice from someone who is and they were advised to follow the process as they have done.

He also said the W word ,schoolboy error but punishable.

 

[Darthblade]

I think its on the Ched thread.

Is that the same as "mounting the defence" vigorously ?

UTB & FTP

 

[alcoblade]

Contract to be terminated within the next week barring complications. FA and PFA processes will be finished in the coming days and that will allow SUFC to cancel the contract due to breach of terms.

Can we claim back what he's been paid whilst suspended?

UTB

 

[s4-blade]

Can we claim back what he's been paid whilst suspended?

UTB

He's been suspended without pay thank god as his wage wasn't the smallest at the club.

 

[BushBlade]

He's been suspended without pay thank god as his wage wasn't the smallest at the club.

He'd only spend it on drugs anyway.

Mutu - Chelsea were very aggressive and sought compensation from Mutu -

from wikipedia

Breach of contract saga[edit]
Chelsea started to seek compensation from Mutu in early 2005.[10][12] The Football Association Premier League Appeals Committee decided that the player had committed a breach of his contract without just cause[10] which made Chelsea eligible to claim the compensation.[13] Mutu started his first appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) but the case was dismissed.[10] On 11 May 2006, Chelsea applied to FIFA for an award of compensation against Mutu. In particular, the club requested that the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) award compensation to the club following Mutu's breaching the employment contract without just cause.[10] However, on 26 October, the DRC decided that it did not have jurisdiction to make a decision in the dispute and that the claim by the club was therefore not admissible.[10] On 22 December, Chelsea lodged a new appeal before the CAS seeking the annulment of the DRC’s decision. On 21 May 2007, a CAS panel upheld the club’s appeal, set aside the DRC’s decision, and referred the matter back to the DRC, “which does have jurisdiction to determine and impose the appropriate sporting sanction and/or order for compensation, if any, arising out of the dispute” between the Club and the Player,"[10]

On 6 August 2007, on the basis of the Second CAS Award, Chelsea filed with the DRC a "Re-amended application for an award of compensation", seeking damages to be determined on the basis of various factors, "including the wasted costs of acquiring the Player (£13,814,000), the cost of replacing the Player (£22,661,641), the unearned portion of signing bonus (£44,000) and other benefits received by the Player from the Club (£3,128,566.03) as well as from his new club, Juventus (unknown), the substantial legal costs that the Club has been forced to incur (£391,049.03) and the unquantifiable but undeniable cost in playing terms and in terms of the Club’s commercial brand values", but "at least equivalent to the replacement cost of £22,661,641".[10] On 14 September, Mutu submitted to the DRC a brief requesting the rejection of Chelsea's plea, and asking FIFA to open an investigation against the club for having used and/or dealt with unlicensed agents.[10] But Mutu failed to suspend the arbitration and his claim for use of unlicensed agents was found not to be supported.

On 7 May 2008, the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber ordered Mutu to pay €17,173,990 in compensation to his former club, Chelsea FC, for breach of contract.[14][15] This included €16,500,000 for the unamortised portion of the transfer fee paid to Parma, €307,340 for the unamortised portion of the sign-on fee (received by Mutu), and €366,650 for the unamortised portion of the fee to the Agent, but was not to take into account the determination of the damages for the amounts already paid by the club to the player (consideration for services rendered) or the remaining value of the employment contract (valued at €10,858,500). Mutu had to pay within 30 days after being informed of the decision in August 2008.[10] Mutu lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport for the second time,[16] but on 31 July 2009, that court dismissed his appeal,[14] and Mutu was ordered to pay Chelsea the amount plus interest of 5% p.a. starting on 12 September 2008 until the effective date of payment; the matter was be submitted to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for its determination. In addition, Mutu had to pay the costs of arbitration for both parties, including CHF 50,000 to Chelsea.[10] The fine was the highest ever levied by FIFA.[17]

Mutu may be banned from football by FIFA if he does not pay,[18] although some lawyers have disputed this.[19] Mutu started his third appeal, this time to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, in October 2009,[20] but on 14 June 2010 this appeal was also dismissed with Mutu again being ordered to pay Chelsea €17m in damages.[21][22] Mutu then submitted an appeal to European Court of Human Rights.

In 2013, FIFA DRC decided in a new ruling that Livorno and Juventus were also jointly liable to pay compensation; both clubs immediately appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[23] On 21 January 2015 The Court of Arbitration for Sport annulled the FIFA DRC ruling; Mutu remained the sole party to pay the compensation.[24]

I see Baxter has already landed himself a new job

The article doesn't mention anything about his contract though, but as it is up at the end of the season, if he gets the likely lengthy ban, terminating it and saving a bit of money might be the obvious thing to do.

Your source is the daily mail, that made me laugh
