He could come here. I'd be delighted.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:"Anelka still denies that the quenelle was anti-Semitic and said that he made it in support of Dieudonne M'bala M'bala - ...a long standing friend", cock, and notorious anti-Semite.
I hope he does leave football. As far as I'm concerned he is now officially a Total Cock. F*ck off back to France.

Re: Anelka
Police, when investigating allegations of racism are told that if it's the perception of the victim that the actions were racist, then they should be investigated.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:"Anelka still denies that the quenelle was anti-Semitic and said that he made it in support of Dieudonne M'bala M'bala - ...a long standing friend", cock, and notorious anti-Semite.

In this instance the perpetrator is insisting his actions weren't anti semitic. If he'd done a Nazi salute, then no-one would believe him - in this instance though he's made a gesture that like it or not, can be interpreted differently.
Does anyone really believe Anelka is an anti semite and meant his gesture in that way

It was "thank fck I'm not in Yorkshire" I think.Bruce Rioja wrote:Did that linking thumbs - birds' wings thing that he used to do when he scored for us mean owt?
It obviously meant something but he never coughed to it.

Re: Anelka
I'm just surprised it wasn't a full scale retirement from football.
WBA have been odd over this ... banning him from training & from all their property for the 5 game perood. Why would they do that ?
... unless they think he's not been up to much whilst with them and they're being opportunistic ..... as if.

He's a crafty SoB. He's put himself in the shop window and a pound to pinch of Quenelle old 'Arry'll be twitching like a geiger counter on top of a mountain of plutonium.
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Re: Anelka
West Brom have sacked him for gross misconduct.
Cannot link at the moment but it's on the bbc.

"No you haven't ... We've sacked you."
How pathetic and what a sad end for a great player.

Re: Anelka
If they are taking the sacked stance then they would have to pay up his contract would they not? If he quits they don't pay him a penny?
Re: Anelka
Don't think so for gross misconduct.

Nope .... contract details notwithstanding. If they did then they would have 'accepted' his resignation.ChrisC wrote:If they are taking the sacked stance then they would have to pay up his contract would they not? If he quits they don't pay him a penny?
They are saying it's Gross Misconduct. Dismissal FOLLOWING PROCEDURE is a legitimate finding. Notice would not then be forthcoming.
However, the legally dubious thing is that they have announced this via the meeja and not via proper process. That would entail things like a letter inviting him for investigation, then a meeting to discuss his actions, if found unacceptable a meeting for deciding what action to take (dismissal) and then writing to confirm their decision and offering him the right to appeal etc., etc.
Just sacking him by telling him they have is automatically unfair and yes, he could claim unfair dismissal, which he most certainly would win. At his weekly rate the extra time and the ultimate compensation would be worth a massive amount to mere mortals like us.
