Seriously you would pay him up 2 years money £300k ish. He hasn't been sacked, he can sit in his office, or work under hockaday. He was paid by Leeds united not BMc. He wants out fine. But your right about one thing he will get what he's entitled to hopefully nothing, or £75k the maximum genuine cases might get for unfair dismissal, which I suspect has been offered already.

If reports are to be believed he said he couldn't work with Hockaday, well basically thats his decision. And the option in any job if the company changes the man above you either work with him or go. He's selected the 2nd option as far as I can see.

Unfair dismissal ?????? :thumbdown:

I would kiss The Hock and Cellinos backside daily for £150k a year. :lol:

OR Cellino made him a reasonable offer and Gibbs was greedy and refused to accept it. Now things he can get more by suing the club. Just saying like.... ;)

He does have a case for constructive dismissal whether we think he should just have walked or not. I read the YEP piece and it seems, reading between the lines, that Gibbs was unhappy working under Whackaday, but that's his choice he should have either sucked it up or walked then, and Cellino has given him an option of a small pay-off or work from an office.

Unfortunately its all from the persons perspective and their own feeling of worth. It why footballers on 15k/wk will moan because they are not getting a rise when they want, or employers recruiting eastern european workers because the unemployed think the minimum wage job is beneath them.
