I'd love it, but I can't see us tearing up his contract. Didn't Wolfsburg sack Bendtner for something similar just now? Don't see it happening but one can hope... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Suppose it depends on what he was smoking to get sacked. I would imagine an investigation of this allegation must surely conclude a drug test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Does make you wonder what would have happened if Houllier had stayed as he was very vocal about gabby (didn't he say he should get back to being slim and fast?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It cannot be easy to simply sack a player though, look how long Portsmouth were stuck with the 72 year old Kanu. Signed in the PL for like £100k and was still there in League 2 after they'd been in administration 18 times and only had about 4 players left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Would depend on how bad the breach of contract is i guess. ie, Deemed a sackable offence or not.

You get 4 years prison in the UAE if you even get caught with trace residue on you. God help you if they actually in the act of taking drugs or having an amount of drugs in weight, even cannabis. You are proper in the shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so. According to this they are hoping to terminate his contract and have opened talks with his agent. Long way to go I reckon and I think it will be much harder with Gabby as I don't think he has been transgressing like Bendtner, oversleeping, late for training etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The PFA wouldn't allow us to terminate his contract without a serious payoff. Just banish him to the youth team and let them kick lumps out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 We can't sack him unless we can prove gross misconduct and apart from criminals and a few coke heads like mutu have you ever known a footballer be sacked? And we can only fine him 2 weeks wages Hopefully at the very least we've gone from tickling his balls and giving him some bullshit title to forcing it in to his thick head that he's done here and he can either find a move himself or we'll happily find a shit one for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 At the very least, I hope he's stripped of his ridiculous "club captain" title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Why don't we create a "bomb squad" and put all the players we think aren't trying in it? Yes, that would really work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
