The person you responded to didn’t say he shouldn’t have time off, they said the timing was poor. The further Webber's meddling hands are from this summers recruitment the better, hope he doesn't come back down until September..... 😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any employer is entitled to refuse annual leave and can make an employee take their time off when THEY want them to. Club should be refusing this and making him take his annual leave at a more suitable time, to suit the business. Edited June 11, 2022 by JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JB 115 Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) That's not for me to decide but anyone can see that an open transfer window, after such a shambolic season is not the time to do so. EDIT: This is in reply to the above comment Edited June 11, 2022 by JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly, Webber hasn’t been nailing his, which is why some of us are wondering what the hell is going on. So time off should be performance related, not a right, Chroisht some of you make yourselves look stupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should take his holiday at a more appropriate time. I would never be allowed to take my annual leave at a time that's busy for the business I work for. In Webber's scenario, his busy spell is going to unquestionably be pre-season. Surely that's obvious? A good time for leave for him would be any time the window is not open and the team not needing serious replenishment. If it was November for example, the season is underway and all things football related, pitch-side, is then over to coaching staff. Webber can take a flight to Saturn for all he wants at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine coming back from holiday and your boss said "JB, things went without a hitch whilst you were away so were letting you go". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: This is in reply to the above comment Absolute ****ing nonsense. You don't think there aren't dozens of footballing executives on holiday at the moment? Of course there are. They take their work with them or appoint those able to take over in their absence, just like most people do when they take holiday. Employers picking exactly when you take your holiday maybe law, but I've never heard of any company actually doing so as most would stick two fingers up at them and go elsewhere.

Though you put it more bluntly than me. All I care about right now is signings coming in that can do a job. If Webber can do that in a ski lodge or a Freemasons lodge I don’t give a sh1t so long as the cohesion between coach and DoF is met then happy days. Let’s all move on for the best.
