Comments on Ricketts situation on BT Sport broadcast tonight

[barnsley]

if they want the job they will sign up without a get out clause if they will not then we do not want them we must stop making the same mistake every time.

Employers don't give a toss about the welfare of their employees beyond what is legally required and football clubs are no different. Football fans do, but if a manager became available who was much better than Sam Ricketts and who wanted to come to Wrexham the board wouldn't waste any time in making the change if it could afford it.

As I said, I don't like what Sam has done but unfortunately he has to live in the real world.

You don't like what Ricketts has done but you don't get get why the club asked Barrow to take control tonight either? Baffling.

You can compare his job to any other job as much as you want but there are also rules and regulations about how things take place (abused day in, day out of course). It's not really the same.

It's been sly, if he managed tonight the crowd would have been at him all game and it'd have been a circus. The board did the right thing. It would have been a right mess if he was there tonight.

I’m pretty sure all managers’ contracts have a release clause because it protects the parent club in terms of dismissal but also doesn’t restrict a manager who can move on provided the chasing club meet the clause.

There’s no mistake here from the club. None whatsoever.

I don't like it as a fan, with the tinted glasses that all fans have but realistically it is just a job.

Give one good dispassionate and objective reason why this isn't a job like any other.

Or it just isn't true ?

So we only want desperate out of work managers who'll work for anyone? We've got to be realistic here that any half decent ambitious manager will want some kind of clause or they wouldn't sign a long contract.

It’s standard practice...

The point is that there are release clauses and release clauses.

There are ones like Ricketts obviously has which are of the come and get me kind, there are others which are prohibitive.

No-one has commented on the scenario I gave with Mourinho. 22nd May 2010, CL Final, the world, his wife and mistress knows he's going to Real Madrid and nothing has been confirmed or denied, just like Sam Ricketts. Does Inter tell him to stay at home, hand the reigns to Beppe Baresi or does it go ahead with him on the bench? Incidentally, 23rd May 2010 he announced he was joining Real Madrid.

The offer of the smartie is still up for grabs.

In another sport, Christophe Urios announced last week he's joining Bordeaux next season. Should Castres go the full season without a manager and also have themselves a little temper tantrum like the Wrexham board?

there something wrong if we keep being shafted by crap clubs like shrewsbury and walsaw
