The analogy is well and good to keep Scarlett happy but it doesn't apply in this case.

No one has been sacked so there is no tribunal

A better analogy would be that the employer said they couldn't do that job any more because it wasn't safe so asked them to work in the office for the same money.

The issue will be when the contract is up for review. No tribunal for not renewing a contract.

I hope we sort it all out amicably and Dave can get back to playing but at the moment he has made his position clear by not wearing the tracker.
Seems like a pointless point of principle to me.

Nothing stopping Dave or his agent releasing a statement. Isn't his agent Harrison? He's never short of an opinion on everything.

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 the employer has a duty to keep an employee safe and this would include providing PPE which is what the GPS tracker now is, an employee is required to cooperate with the employer. Every work place has the H&S poster even Trinity. Going back to your goggles analogy when the fool that won't wear goggles loses his sight from being hit by metal shavings who do you believe the Health and Safety Executive will be prosecuting.

It wasnt a very good analogy was it? Apologies

I see he’s up before the head and HR on Friday. I hope but don’t expect that they realise he is a cult amongst the Wakefield supporters who do not frequent this forum. What I expect is that they will agree for him to see out the season and allow him to leave because there will be no shortage of clubs looking to sign him.
The bottom line will as per usual be money, the club have made it a point on every occasion to state he is our highest paid player and I expect that they think he can be replaced by our London loanee who will warrant a much lower salary.

CC has said it in his pre-match interview.

It doesn't say he's up before HR - it says he returns to training on Friday.

Are you reading something different?

I think the general feeling out there is that he is more of a Prima Donna these days. If he can be got back into the group he will have every chance of showing that there is still a valuable squad member in there somewhere.

If he leaves he leaves.

Can't say as any player leaving will ever have the same effect on me as when I heard Willie Poching had signed for Leeds.

I was using the analogy of a school with Carter being the Headmaster and the best I could think of for Chester was HR, I did think deputy head.
