I don't think a NL right back is earning all that much money at all. It is a privilege to pursue a career that you enjoy, but being a footballer at this level is short and they have nothing to fall back on for the last 30 years of their working life. It's an incredibly mild privilege at best.
I bet it is better than packing and stacking on a frozen food line. I agree about the short career but then it is more important to do the best you can and not jeopardise the opportunity you have.

I alwase thought that the law in England was supposed to be one of the fairest in the world , And it was one crime one punishment, not pass it down the line for all to have there two pence worth including employers unless employed as a driver.. Its easy to judge without knowing all the facts of what caused him to go off the rails . I dont condone what he did but i dont think we should be making a judgement on his future without all the facts .

What facts do you think could emerge that justify driving at three times the legal limit at 4am in the morning.?

Yes you can because he has committed a serious criminal offence and gross misconduct both of which will be covered in any competent employment contract. There will be an internal procedure to follow which is probably why the club has said nothing and we had to rely on Powys County News to know about it. The club will be able to ditch him if they choose to .Whether they will or. It is to be seen but highly likely. Three times over the limit is more then just a young lad taking a chance and making a bad choice. I wonder if anyone else from the club was with him at the time.
It may be where you work and within a professional football club but having worked within an HR environment, in our Company the words "gross misconduct" would only apply to anything done within the Company. We have had instances of a member of staff banned from driving and they were never sacked from the Company.

Many organisations would fire an employee caught drink driving, for bringing the company into disrepute. Same with many professions - he would be suspended or struck off. He might be young and a bit daft, but if he's old enough to drive a potential killing machine, he's old enough to face the consequences of doing so in an unsafe way. I've no time for people on here trying to defend him.

Where I use to work, we had someone that had a drink problem, and came to work drunk. He was suspended by the company, and sent to rehabilitation, that the company paid for. He was kept on, on the understanding that he was tested regularly, and if he started drinking again he would be sacked. He never failed a test and turned his life around. There is some compassionate companies out there that care about their work force, and I would like to think our new owners would show a little more compassion, and help him get his life back on track. Nobody on here knows what has made him act in this way, they just want to be judge and jury. All he may need is a little help, not throwing on the scrap heap.

He is clearly a complete buffoon and committed a serious crime but he hasn't brought the Club into disrepute.
