He can self certify for 7 days but after that we're ok to refuse to pay him. No doctor or even the pfa are going to back a player who is upset he didn't get the move he wanted when he's signed a 4 year contract.

If we don't pay him could he not walk away a free man saying we'd breached the contract? I suspect he'd have more of a case than you'd like.

This is the sad truth, and this is why want away players normally get the move they are after in the end.

Could get a bad back like Coutinho did

 I recall a communication (possibly one of his friends and probably the same one saying he's depressed) where it was said he will go on strike, nothing to do with a medical condition.

 

If that is the case, then not paying him is what stands up in contract law (as far as I understand as an observer of this p155 poor situation.

You think he won’t find a dr prepared to do this?  

[hackneyfox]

It would get laughed out of court

[les-tah]

Surely he can pay off a doctor to sign him off on depression however ridiculous it is.

Rich people have different doctors to the rest of us. The doctor will write him off work for however long he wants if there is enough money in it for them.

 

 

[FOXYTALK]

whatever the outcome will damage his chances at future clubs, the more he acts in strange ways people will not want to purchase him. 

he should see the perspective of playing for 3 months and being sold on in the summer. not a potentially career ruining escapade.

[Karljohn]

Whatever club ends up signing him, take note, he's a pain in the arse.

exactly what i said.. however he pretty much blacklists himself to the rest of the world for being a pathetic little creature and no one wants that sort of poisonous person around their club.

Probably been mentioned previous in this thread but this seemingly one of the first (or at least few) instances where the majority seem to be in favour of the player, rather than the club. When Sterling, Tevez, Berbatov and others did similar the press were having none of it and backed the clubs wholeheartedly, from memory.

 

I also don't buy into the notion that clubs are unlikely to be interested in him after his behaviour, you only have to look as far as West Ham's latest transfer of Evra, or Suarez to Barcelona etc to see that clubs will happily turn a blind eye when the player is good enough. 

 

I personally think he'll end up playing here again, albeit briefly, and then move abroad, similar to the Tevez situation a few years back.

 

Football is so abstract in comparison to other industries and therefore the law isn't always necessarily reflective as a result, naturally the players must abide by the law of the land but you only have to look at ridiculous cases of driving bans not being carried out because said player or manager 'needs the car to get to work'. Would never happen outside of the sporting vacuum.

I hope they do, the cvnt doesn’t deserve any better

 

is Mahrez who we support or Leicester City? The club should always come first, he has behaved dispicably and deserves every bit of “whatever” is coming to him

[An Away Move]

I love Mahrez and haven't enjoyed watching any Leicester player more then I have him in my lifetime, that said I support Leicester and if he wants to go nuclear on us I think we should put him in the Under 23s for 2 years. **** him. The only real money we'd lose is £400k and his wages.

That’s what the new policy at Dortmund is, in future players will have it written into their contract that the club dictates what the player does while he’s under contract ,and if they don’t like it, don’t sign the contract.

Legally, Mahrez doesn’t have much of a case. Morally, I’m not so sure. He was given assurances and the goalposts changed - twice. Which is arguably enough to screw with a persons mental health.

Do you really know that he was given assurances twice? Or that the coalposts were changed?

 

Arguably he's a cry baby shit who should get back to work.

[Sand cats]

I originally supported Leicester because of Mahrez but now i like the club and i watch every game since 2 years ago, i really like Leicester City and i don't appreciate big clubs like Mahrez do, so if Mahrez will still behave like this i hope they don't let him go until his contract ends and let him sitting in the bench, he's not helping the team.

Arguably, he might be lots of things. I’m just offering a balanced view rather than the punitive load of bitter toss posted around this thread.

It screws with my head that tangy tomato flavour Monster Munch was 8p a pack when I was a lad when my dad promised me I could have a bag. The market has changed quite a lot since then. Luckily it has had no effect on my mental health. And Mahrez hasn’t got a leg to stand on.

Exactly. Poor little diddums Mahrez needs to do the same before he irreversibly damages his legacy with our fans and many fans of other clubs who get irritated by this kind of thing.

Not really, your analogy wasn’t quite hopes and dreams now.

 

This won’t be sorted quickly. And we should perhaps hold fire with the labels and accusations until we know the full facts.

 

Legally though like I said in my initial post, Mahrez is up the creek.
