Would you turn down £1.2million as hush money for being fired

And won't receive anywhere near that in damages when she wins. Good on her.

 

Totally agree, old mate.

 

God no

gimme the money, morals of a bank manager me

 

Re: God no

I guess depends how much she was being paid. Maybe the book rights will be worth a bit or if that's Chelsea's first offer she is holding out for that 1.5M tipping point

 

I'd snatch their hand off

Everyone involved in the Premier League has a hugely inflated sense of their own value.

 

That depends. What don't they want me to talk about? I know someone who left a certain worldwide organisation of ill repute (if you ask me) and regretted signing a non disclosure agreement.

 

id refuse aswel just so i could make the club look bad infront of the world, nothing will happen after the trail and things will go back to normal but at least for a couple months the reputation of chelsea fc will be low

 

Me too. In fact that's not fair on bank managers so I've got the morals of something lower and less moral than that

It depends on the issue...if you think £1.2 m is sufficient ' punishment ' for what they've done to you , take it and save yourself not only the hassle but the possibility of losing...if you don't think it's enough or you would prefer the world to hear of your injustice..stick to your guns.

 

^^^This^^^. In the case of Eva I think she is 100% correct. Good on her, what Jose did to her was beyond the pale professionally speaking.

 

It depends what was said before that. A player can go down hurt but not need medical attention and risk the player having to leave the field and she should have known this.

John Stones and Gareth Bale and both been left to get up themselves. Either of them weren't faking it I'm sure but they didn't receive any attention.

 

It seems clear to me that she acted on medical requirement. How could Jose instruct her not to go on when players were feigning injury, how is she, in a medical capacity, supposed to tell the difference. From my standpoint she acted in a professional, medical capacity and ensured she carried out her duty of care.
It's certainly not her fault that football is littered with cheating rats who go down like they've been shot for absolutely no reason.

 

I couldn't possibly comment.

 

This 100%.

Compare it with Rugby Union. At the higher level, the match day doctor overules everyone when it comes to management of injuries, especially head/neck trauma. If they say 'player x' needs to leave the field for assessment then that's it. No dissent. Albeit they have replacement players available. Was fortunate to be part of the medical team at last year's rugby world cup. They even use Hawkeye to review collisions and can call a player off based on that evidence. Medical care was astonishing, although rugby needs it with the force of collisions.

Football managers would be better b@llocking their players for feigning injury rather than criticising one of only a small number of staff qualified to assess a players medical condition.

I was under the impression she and her colleague can only enter the field of play if allowed by the referee. The referee had waved them on, after first asking Hazard whether he required treatment. Hazard must've said he did, otherwise the referee would simply have told the medical team the player didn't require their services. Once they've treat him, Hazard has to leave the field under the present rules, which the player knows. As Chelsea were already down to 10 men, it'd reduce them to 9 for a short time. If Hazard was faking the injury, then it's him who Jose should blame for creating an unnecessary problem for his team mates, not his medical team.

 

That is my understanding too Kev. I have read many column inches dedicated to this incident and I can't find anything that leads me to give Jose a scintilla of support for what he did.

 

I'm with you all the way on this, old mate.

 

When I think about it I'm not sure I could pull it off anyway

I'm a fair bit taller than Fired and I think her husband would be suspicious!
