Give one good dispassionate and objective reason why this isn't a job like any other.
Using your logic the club have acted like most other employers would act.

The head of operations tells his employer he is looking to leave to another competitor ( a competitor for players and staff perhaps). The competitor appears to have gained access to confidential information ( the sum required to trigger the release clause) potentially from the employee or his agent.

That employee would be placed on garden leave in almost all cases.

The club has done the right thing on the face of it,otherwise do they hang around whilst Sam makes up his mind? how long do they wait? what impact does it have on the team?


I don't blame Sam for trying to progress his career, but no one can complain about the club taking swift action to move on and not wait around for him to finish his negotiations with the shrews.
