Hi all, Very little traffic on the list. I would have expected it to be in meltdown, or are we all still too stunned at the prospect of Leeds being in the Premier League
Anyway, before the season and list gets into full swing I’ve got a couple of things that have been on my mind for a few weeks. 1. Berardi. What happened to him? I realise he is out of contract and injured (sadly). But it is almost like he has become a non-person. His name does not appear on any squad lists on sites, but there has been no official announcement either. Do Leeds pay for his treatment and rehabilitation, or do they just say ‘Contract’s Up, Bye’. Is he still registered as Leeds player? I’m sure he’s not on his uppers, but going 9 months or however long it takes him to get fit – without any pay is not a great reward for a player who has been a good servant for 6 ? years, and played his part in getting Leeds back to the PL. He may not have been treated as badly as it seems to me, but nothing has come out of official or news channels. It would not be right to give him a new contract because he got injured, nor is it right not to give him one for the same reason. 2. The Augustin situation. This probably one for the Contract Lawyers on the list. One of the things I remember from a very rudimentary level of studying Contract Law, was some precedent which stated that an agreement to agree in the future is not enforceable. The same thought has struck me over the years whenever a player signs a ‘Pre-Contract Agreement’ 6 months prior to his existing contact running out. Can these things be worded (with the passing of some consideration possibly) to be legal? Of course in the 45 years that have passed since I remember this there have probably been all sorts of legislation around this sort of thing. Further complicated by being in (or out of) the EU as well perhaps. Does anyone have an informed opinion on this? After that little lot I’m sure people would rather speculate on Leeds chances of avoiding relegation, and give opinions on the squad being assembled. Cheers KOT.
