Wayne Brown rumour

[Blue Maniac]

When have either of them ever said that?

Dont get me wrong, I dislike both of them, but I think your argument is slightly floored.

:icon_lol: You what?

 

[alex]

Is he still here?

 

[beaumontfox]

Hanging on by his fingertips.....

They had the PFA chief Exec bloke on Talksport earlier talking about this.

Said he had spoken to Chris Powell who told him no punches were thrown but whatever else Powell had to say about what happened was being kept confidential because of the internal enquiry- well he used bigger words than that but that's pretty much it!

They are taking it seriously though, said they were preparing a statement for the website but when I looked earlier there wasn't nowt on there.

 

[alex]

He has to go. Our club are being linked to the BNP and racism in general through the type of sensationalist nonsense TalkSport delivers.

I know, I wasn't disputing that, I was responding to the assumption the boss-eyed little shit could be sacked just like that if he had been criminally charged.

Not sacked just for being charged. But if his contract allowed him to carry on after conviction and with a jail sentence, then his agent deserves a medal.

:icon_lol: You what?

Yes yes alright! You should see the amount of mistakes I've made today :icon_sad: Lets just say it was a heavy weekend and I'm still suffering....

 

[tedfoxxx]

Hahah I'm joking Brown is solid!! (Hughes isn't!).

Yeah but the bonnet of his car is.


Sorry thats horrible.

Just out of interest, would you get the sack if you went to jail?

It might fall under "gross misconduct", but sacking someone involves a load of procedural stuff that, if it isn't followed, means you have been unfairly dismissed. Whatever the reason. Bosses, of any level, have to go through proper disciplinary and dismissal processes.

To be clear my comments below are not defending Wayne Brown who I think behaved stupidly and I would guess made some unpleasant remarks although we are not told what these were. Furthermore I do not want him to be in a Leicester shirt again and would feel annoyed if I was a parent whose child had a picture of him on the bedroom wall.

Nevertheless for him to disclose that he voted BNP cannot be a sacking offence as long as they are a legal political party. It is quite likely that other players disclosed the way they voted.

It is quite likely that the other players wanted to know why he did so and then reacted when he gave the explanation they had demanded. I would guess that in the heat of the moment players will have made strong and offensive comments to him. These comments will no doubt contrast badly with any apology Wayne Brown will have made.

The club will rightly emphasize their work on Foxes Against Racism. How effective this will be may depend upon Brown's exact words. His advisers will no doubt strongly point out that these words were said in private conversation and were not intended to be made public.

How the club must be enjoying this diversion just as Nigel, Lee Hoos and Milan were looking forward to a nice time in Skeggy with their buckets and spades.

...for him to disclose that he voted BNP cannot be a sacking offence as long as they are a legal political party.

Nobody, apart from ignorant internet commenters, has ever suggested that the club have even considered sacking him for voting BNP.
I'm baffled as to why people keep banging on about it, it's nonsensical.

 

[David Gwilliam]

Now if only Wayne Brown had said he had voted BNP because it was the only party he could spell.

 

[Hazzman]

There's a rumour flying about that Brown was stitched up. Said it has a joke and a player went off badmouthing...

I've heard that as well. I really wouldn't be surprise if this is what turns out to be the case - admittedly I have no basis to believe that.

 

[Hazzman]

I just hope either way that the meeting on Thursday to 'clear the air' was exactly that.

 

[beaumontfox]

Stitched up by all the others players was he? Considering I know three other people who were told pretty much the same as me by different players/club staff then they all agreed to badmouth Brown to the coaching staff in some sort of conspiracy to get him chucked out.


Apart from that, I really DON'T think the other players would do something so serious that would jeopardise our play-off chances before we had even kicked off the first leg.

 

[beaumontfox]

I thought the meeting on Thursday was the season debrief and the 'clear-the-air' meeeting was on the Tuesday???

 

[Hazzman]

Might be getting mixed up. Pearson said in the paper on Friday that anything that needed saying had to be said on Thursday and not to leave it over hanging for the summer.

 

[No.6 Muzzy Izzet...]

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines that he probably did say he voted BNP, or something like that, but said so in a provocative way and that it has been taken out of context. Just a thought

 

[beaumontfox]

Ah! Suppose it was the debrief plus some sort of closure type thing in his mind about it all and whatever is gonna happen was decided then?
We just won't find out about it til whatever it is happens!:icon_roll

P.F.A. getting involved with this now

The player’s future is now shrouded in doubt and when asked whether it would be hard for Brown to stay at Leicester, or even find a new club, Bobby Barnes said: “I would like to think so. We have a zero tolerance policy on issues like this.

“Football has worked hard over the years to really be a beacon in the fight against racism and it is very discouraging to hear these comments when you think of the tireless work so many people, and so many organisations, have put in to get to where we are today
