McFaul 35 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Oh Coloccini you are the love of my life, oh Coloccini I hope your wife's alright, oh Coloccini I'd probably do the same thing too. Magnificent effort. I hope it catches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubiousBobcat 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Now hearing a 'rumour' we could be ripping up Colo's contract today or tomorrow and letting him go on a free. Can't believe we would do that.....hold on a minute, this is Newcastle. I can believe anything at this calamity of a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe we would do that.....hold on a minute, this is Newcastle. I can believe anything at this calamity of a club. Player holds all the cards. Force him to stay and he'll not be half the player. He's already let himself down a few times this season. If he was persistently shite while being the top paid player at the club it's money down the drain. The club he wants to go to have said categorically they cannot afford any fee whatsoever. We can't afford to make a stand like Man City could with Tevez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The rumor mongers have been going into overdrive as to the reasons behind his desire to go. Unfortunately if it was something to do with illness, given the sympathy it would evoke, then I guess it would have been confirmed sooner. Either Colo has been a naughty boy, or he's playing silly beggars with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7083 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Leave of absence? Rather than ripping up a contract. That would be the player's call though. If he felt he had to be back in Argentina with his family indefinitely then what could the club do? Take him to court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Surely they could loan him out to a local club under the provision that he forgoes his current level of pay and gets whatever he can negotiate with them. Once the crisis comes to a conclusion he returns to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I do have a lot of sympathy for Colo (if his wife is ill) but plenty of people are ill and they and their partners still go to work. One of my consultants' wife died in late September and he was back by November. If he needs to move to Argentina then so be it, but he needs to buy out his contract, we should not feel obliged to just let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs to move to Argentina then so be it, but he needs to buy out his contract, we should not feel obliged to just let him go. So he did leave the business while she was ill then, which (I think) may be where FC is requesting to be. He will undoubtedly have to serve his contract, albeit via a financially "penalty" rather than serving the term. I think it's a little naive to think that the likes of our work colleagues would tromp into work the next day, batter on, and expect this to be standard procedure for anything other than for pure financial desperation! This is the exact reason why there is a multi million pound critical illness insurance business. Collo doesn't need the money I assume! Simply letting him bugger off (for legitimate reasons initially) would also be a mistake, can see her popping her clogs before the summer and then he swans off to Man City / QPR. That would be very cuntish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply letting him bugger off (for legitimate reasons initially) would also be a mistake, can see her popping her clogs before the summer and then he swans off to Man City / QPR. That would be very cuntish. My boss? He was still working while she was ill (although may have taken the odd sick day to look after his kids, I don't know). He took compassionate leave when she died for about a month. Point is he was still under contract (he didn't leave it then return). Agree totally that the rest of us would not just soldier on, that our employers would make allowances, to a point. I'm with J69, Happy Face and CT to an extent - there are a number of rumours which aren't consistent with her being ill and indeed point to some other cause (i.e. him putting it about), and you'd think if she was actually ill and it was a noble cause then player/his agent/family/prospective new club may have mentioned something about this (compare with Gavin Peacock). However this information might still be forthcoming so of course this is all conjecture...but my gut feeling is that he's been up to no good...
