Wayne Brown rumour

[Motown Fox]

On the OS with an Official Statement now about this Wayne Brown matter.

By the way Wayne must be a recent BNP supporter as he is not on the list of BNP suporters with the Brown surname that I found on the internet, which is a couple of years old.

Isn't the list that was posted online a list of BNP members?

There will be a lot more people who support them who have never been a member.

I guess after the whole Dennis Wise debacle, the club want to make sure they do this by the book, so that if they do decide to dismiss him, they do it fairly in the eyes of the law and don't get dragged through the courts again.

How would they be able to dissmiss him? He should be able to vote for whoever he wants, even if it is the BNP.

The issue has arisen not from his choice of vote. It has arisen from the ensuing altercation between Brown and Dyer and i belive Powell as well.

I don't think anyone has said he can be sacked for voting BNP.

Ah I see, well if that is the case then bye bye Mr Brown

The 'investigation' has feck all to do with his voting habits - I can't believe that anyone thinks it does

It's about his actions, comments and behaviour to other LCFC staff members.

Even if these prove to be overtly racist, I doubt we would have grounds for outright dismissal - but might just be enough for us to actively seek to get rid of him by any other means

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.

 

[lazzer]

FF are you suggesting Willlow was saying he was getting sacked for voting BNP
It reads to me like he was suggesting he couldnt possibly sacked for it

My knowledge of employment law is fairly limited (so if im wrong im willing to be corrected), but if the club are trying to argue its misconduct as a grounds for dismissal, then one legally recognised form of misconduct is "bringing an employer into serious disrepute" and i'm sure a case could be made for this if the altercation happened with other players because of some other racist remarks

Any racism is normally viewed as gross misconduct to be fair, sackable at the least...

If the policies of the club with regard to racism are written clearly enough (which I am sure they are), if his actions are found to have been overtly racist, there will be wholly adequate grounds to dismiss him. It might however be better to keep him on the books to ensure that a fee, however small, is obtained in return for releasing from his contract to take up employment elsewhere.

Willlow appeared to be under the impression that people were suggesting that the club would sack Brown for voting BNP, even though nobody has suggested that as it would be absurd. He just wasn't paying attention.

Kids these days, they just don't listen. I blame the parents.
