So what happens if Kenny doesn't sort out his work permit or visa or whatever it is preventing him from playing for us at the moment? Does he come back in to the side?I still don't get why, as we are paying him, that you wouldn't carry on utilising his talents?

Something appears to be going between him and the club. Assuming he's still being paid then he’s still our player until sold then he should be selected 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
 
Even stranger, he came on for 3 mins in recent bsm game without a warm up! Only time we have seen him in 6 weeks!
Head scratcher?

He came on to replace Oakley-Boothe who was injured. Straight swap in midfield, and it explains the lack of the warmup.

If the club are receiving a fee for him they may not want to risk injury, and are working on the premise that if he’s going anyway they may as well prepare for that. its not the first time we’ve done that.

He's been training. Seen him on some of the club videos

I'm pretty sure Dougall isn't training with us currently. He packed his bags last week to go somewhere and wasn't back home as of yesterday with the soon to be Mrs Dougall.
 
How do we know he only has 5 or what days to sort out his visa, how do we know he hasn't it already sorted, or have I missed something or is this one on those assumption posts?

Realistically how much are a Club in Thailand going to pay in a fee? This has been going on since mid Nov, so that's 9, maybe 10 weeks. Assuming the player was on 4k it could be 40k in wages paid by BFC plus NI. For it to be worthwhile we'd have to get a fee well into Burnley dwellers fingers (6 didgets) to make what we've done right.

IMO his contract should have been terminated by mutual consent or if the player wouldn't accept that, then he should have got off his skis and pulled a shirt on.

We are. He played those 4 mins so must be contracted.

We don't what's been agreed for the interim period. If he hasn't fulfilled the full terms of the contract the club may have agreed something else with him. Maybe, maybe not. It's an internal HR situation innit? I suspect he'll have been paid if he's trained and made himself available for selection, but might not have if and when he hasn't.

I think the club might have been holding out for a fee possibly from somewhere in Eng and there would be an issue regarding registration ownership had we stopped paying him.

For what it's worth, the club he's been linked to, Buriram United, are by far the most successful team in the league (won the league 5 times of the last 6 seasons, according to Wikipedia), they play in a 32k seater stadium, and are ranked about 90 places higher than Blackpool in the world club rankings.

He isn't moving to play in a rice paddy in front of some farm animals.

I doubt that. There is surely a clause in player contracts to cover what happens if they make themselves unavailable for training or matches, and registration wouldn't be affected by that, I wouldn't have thought. I'm not an employment lawyer though.

Yeah. On transfer market they say they have some quite valuable players, so may be a fee in it? They can probably afford one, but is the players worth much?

I suppose who initiated it would have an impact??
 
He’s done the club proud in his time with us. Inevitably the club is supporting him now when he looks like he’s leaving.

Well I hope that is the case? You just know Bowlhead what have told him to rot and sued him for breach of contract.

I expect Kenny will have told the club his situation and plans, that he needs some time out to work on his plans, and the club then decides how to deal with that. The decision might be not to quibble over a month's pay. He is after all, King Kenny Left Foot Right Foot Dougall.

I doubt we'll ever know the truth.

I thought that might of been a ‘get on with it’ or we will drag you in for things like this nudge from the club.

On most occasions I'd agree, but this seems a bit mickey taking out of fans, some who adored the player. Those idi...fans deserve to know.

Whichever way it's a dog's dinner of handling the situation. Neither party do themselves any favours.

I adored him but it is what it is. He wants to move on in his life. There's no conspiracy. The club doesn't owe us all the details.

I don't know. One of the most senior players at the Club suddenly stops playing because he needs a rest, then personal issues and now wants away.

Of course fans deserve to know, or at least a credible explaination not a piss take. We pay our ST money over.

We know what needs to be known. He wants to move away. Fans now seem to want to have details of everything that goes on. You buy a ticket to watch games. That's it, that's the deal.

No it isn't. You buy into a culture, a lifestyle, not a tin of beans. The Club NEEDS that from the fans. A blind loyalty that surpasses logic.

On this issue, whether a kiss and tell is right, taking the piss isn't.

Players come & go, why we are all surprised is the weird way this seems to be playing out. Good luck to him as he's been decent for us.

Complete nonsense that, sorry!

Football's getting ridiculous and you are for some reason taken in by the daftness. We know Kenny wants to leave for personal reasons. Nothing else is of any interest to me. WtF else is there that matters? Try to not surpass logic, maybe. 😉
