Mike Ashley ‘Cancer discrimination case’ and now evicting a city’s beating heart 6th Dec 2022 11:10
The announcement that Swansea City’s first away game after the World Cup could be in jeopardy is correct, but any announcement of Coventry City actually being ‘evicted’ is slightly wide of the mark. However don’t think Mike Ashley and his Fraser Group will care too much about the disruption they will cause to the city’s football club and it’s fans. 0

Anyone else know about this ?

No.
Absolutely sick.
The guy shouldn't be allowed to buy a six a side pitch, let alone have anything to do with any football club

Clearly Newcastle could have handled things a lot better. He could have been put on a lower holding contract once his original deal had expired until he was fit to play. This would be discussed in a sympathetic manner with care and understanding. Ashley seems like a brute. If he has leverage he will use it to get a better deal. In this case his 'brutalist' approach bluff was called and the player cashed in.

On the other hand one has to have some sympathy with football clubs in this position. They have to look after all the other employees as well. Cleaners laundry, people, drivers, coaches, academy staff etc . The business has to make a profit to afford pay rises for them too. The law is the law but these are elite sportsmen.

The Newcastle payer was on £42,000 a week up from £14,000 a week at his earlier club. £2.18m per annum. He was living the life of luxury. If the contract has an auto enrolment of another three years. £6.54m over three years with potentially no return.

Swansea ended up getting relegated after signing a player unable to play on huge money and a good number of Swansea people were made unemployed. No one cares about the health and family issues of the 50-100 families that saw the bread winner cast aside. Clubs like Swansea do not make profits then, in the capitalist system we live, people doing competent jobs have to go.
