Chris Anderson Fan Club

[dannyboy]

Word is that Opes is getting his 3rd official warning. But what does this mean (asking in all sincerity & ignorance). Does it mean that he can be shown the door without being paid out? Is it purely designed to make Anderson walk of his own accord? Truly, is it anything more than a note from the teacher stating that you've been a naughty little boy Chris? What effect does a 3rd warning have? BTR? Frenzy? Tama? anybody?

What fabric, Sullyfan? We've never won a bloody thing, except for a cup for a midweek knockout 24 years ago.

I don't think I should have to explain all that to a Sharks fan. It's pretty obvious.

A third warning may give the club reason to sack Anderson without having to pay his contract out.

Is your name Peter, James or John.

Or perhaps it's Matthew.

Which players have "Get out of Sharks" clauses if Ando goes? Which ones do you think will genuinely act on such a clause?

 

[The Popper]

Ive heard Bailey has. I would imagine we wouldn't hold Kimmorley if it happened either.

Legally to remove an employee, except in exceptional circumstances, you need to give them 3 warnings and the 3rd one is bye bye.

The employee has the right to challenge each and every warning though. Personally I think Ando would have an arguement on a couple simply by the obvious way that he has been white anted by members of the club. Anyone of those warning gets thrown out then he has been unfairly dismissed. There is also a bit haziness for mine around the club coming out and endorsing him publicly earlier. We had a case where an employee was on 2 warnings, got a favourable review and the advice then was this negated the warnings. A legal person would be better clarifying that.

Also from my experience the courts tend to favour the emplyee rather than the employer.

As to players Bailey has a get out clause and the feeling is Kimmorley will want out bt doesn't have the option. Doesn't mean he can't agitate. Also if Ando goes I'd say we have buckleys' of resigning Nutley.

I'm not in industrial law PJ, but it is a grey area and there are precedents both ways. I'd hate to see this go to court if the club does decide to sack him as I think it would be both a lengthy and costly exercise and the only losers would be the club and us as the loyal fan base.

I'm not happy with all the infighting and backbiting going on, but I blame the Board for most of it. I don't know how true this is, but I heard Ando Jnr found out that he'd been cut after trying to withdraw money at an ATM. His pay hadn't gone in and a phone call was necessary by him to find out what had happened. Not the way to treat an employee and Opes has a right to be ropable about it. Reacting by sacking Pierce and Burgess though only puts him in the same category.

Having said that, Anderson is still the Test coach and regarded by the administrators as the best coach in the game. That's good enough for me and I'll suspend judgement at the end of the 2004 season when his initial contract expires. Let the guy do his job and look forward to next year.

So, Miss Belinda, you can sign me up as well. My birthday is 26th April.

Looks like more lean years ahead

 

[Jimbo]

Are we not applying employment law to contract law? There is a difference...

Hi PJ, Popper, I just read your last couple of posts. In realation to the get out clause for some of these players this may be true and they have stated that they back Ando and will leave if he goes. However if we have another S**t year do you honestly think they will hang around and play for a team on the bottom end of the ladder if an offer from a more competitive club comes up???. I don't think so. We will lose these players anyway even if Ando's there or not. I can't imagine Nutly staying if an offer from the likes of Brisbane, the Roosters, Newcastle or Penrith comes along.
In short we have to start to win games, if Ando can't do it then Raper should be given a go asap in 2004. The pre season comp and the first few games of the comp should shed some light on how we will go next season. If Ando can do it I'll appoligise to his supporters here on the forum, I just want the club to go well.

With Anderson it goes beyond just losing games. It's his arrogance and attitude that has destroyed the fabric of the club and has left most fans angry.

There is supposed to be a board meeting this morning to discuss Anderson's future, it will be interesting to see how that pans out.

It must be that "arrogance and attitude" that makes me admire him more.

I apologise sincerely for my use of the word "than" rather then "then", if you understand what I mean. Sometimes I just get so high and mighty I can't stop myself :lol:

Gawwwddddd

carinashark's spelling & grammar makes me despair of today's education system. Tell me again why the teachers want a pay rise?

 

[Dean Moriarty]

I think she was taking the piss. ;-)

 

[optoct]

Did anyone ever stop and think all this whinging and bitch about the coach might be affecting the players as well. Some fans seem to be their own worst enemies.
