Arsenal can fill the Emirates but Spurs and especially Chelsea struggle to fill a 4th tier ground. Majority of clubs arent anywhere near the level of having a dedicated stadium and if you haven't got a Lioness in your side, forget it. It’s relative. Compared to the state of things barely a few years ago, it is undoubtedly steadily rising. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this doesn't affect the team too much. On a positive, our club should be an attractive proposition for a decent manager to come and continue the upward trajectory we are currently on. If there's nothing in his contract that references such relationships, then it could be difficult to fire him, can't sack him for poor performance as we are sat mid table. Could go on for a while this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any role that comes with a duty of care will have contractual safe guards as standard I would have thought.

There's going to have to be a big shake up and probably quite a few bad apples will be exposed Not going to name who it is I'm thinking of because litigious and I've no desire to be sued or get the forum sued, but the allegations have been around for years. Morgan was found out, Christy Holly in the US was as well, seems like Kirk will be too, but it's horrendously common place in women's football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised too mate but this is LCFC, the way we operate at times suggests we write contracts on the back of pizza boxes, I agree that I can't see it ending well for him though, reputational damage given the extensive media coverage, overseas news coverage too. Pretty certain the next manager will be a woman! Edited 15 March by SK3Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March If the club dealt with it quickly and he was already back in position, I think he would survive, but they dragging their feet and with all this talk going on I think he is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancognito Posted 16 March Share Posted 16 March I get the argument that it happens in all sorts of workplaces (I was in one myself where there were 8 different couples in the same workplace of about 30 people) but you can't have a situation where a player is getting a through ball up the channel from the coach. In most normal workplaces, you're all contracted by the company and working under the same terms, your place there isn't dependent on the will of your boss. A coach's position is completely undermined if the other players know they're in a relationship with someone. It leads to resentment and the coach being questioned why he/she is consistently picking a player or giving them unfair treatment. Like others have said its a huge shame because we'd been in decent form and were having our best season by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked in a few places where 'your' boss could hire and fire without recourse to a higher level provided they follow the set procedures and budget. I still think this is different as the team is more than those selected to play so careers can be killed through more subtle means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think this is different as the team is more than those selected to play so careers can be killed through more subtle means. For sure, I got fired from one job because I didnt get on with my supervisor, who unfortunately for me got promoted to manager, and within 3 days of that happening was fired with a vague "work not satisfactory", I had never been previously warned or anything, and got wrongful dismissal wages after contacting a legal aid firm, but of course didnt get my job back. I had colleagues contacting me afterwards out of work asking me what happened as for them all they seen was me escorted away from my desk (as if I did gross misconduct). I have also witnessed and know of many accounts of people getting jobs simply because they know the right person, I know of multiple companies who routinely dont advertise jobs as an example.
