Am still here lets just watch this space.

And i think thats after tax.

He's not claiming £300k loss of earnings but £300k damages..loss of earnings may make up a proportion of this, i doubt it is the full amount, considering his losses were mitigated by gaining a contract at another club.

Anyone who saw the tweet in question will have all the facts....in graphic detail.

He was on £95,000 a year. I can't see how he can claim loss of earnings on all that because he is currently employed AFAIK (to be fair I haven't studied Employment Law for about 22 years so my knowledge is hazy/out of date) *edit didn't see Espanyol swans post which pretty much says the same thing*. His main beef appears to be a testimonial he was due at the end of the current contract. Apparently Mickey Rourke and Joe Calzaghe had organised events for him and he believed he could earn up to £100,000.

The club are stating that he was not sacked solely for the Twitter picture but for a series of events including the CCup final partying and the fact that he was constantly using "unattractive" language and behaviour on twitter. Also that he tweeted about a product called Muscleforce which is a rival of Muscle King although he claims he gained no money (can't see that's really relevant though although it does suggest a lot about his motivations in life).

His argument is that he was sacked because the club had signed Fielden and Kopczak who, according to Mason's lawyer, are on £55,000 and £60,000 respectively.The club had been trying to get rid of him but he wanted to hang on for his testimonial.

ATEOTD the club much feels it has a strong case or they would have settled out of court which is what happens in the majority of these cases.

Information from today's Examiner.

The employment law is a complete farce - Having just gone through the thing having stopped employing a nanny due to the children growing up.

They tried to claim £15K because I had not followed the correct procedure (turns out I had). Point is if the club has not followed the correct procedure - to the letter - then they could well get caught out and lose the case

Whoever agreed a £95 k contract for Mason deserves disciplining.

He was a good player but that was too much.

I am allo concerned that Faiumu is apparently on more than that !

Which is clearly outside the train station

Having never had the requirement of being in court I wouldn't know. Thanks for the clarification.

just goes to show that fielden is not on the big money people thought he was!!! 55k wont put him in the top earners...

agree the 95k for mason was a very good deal for him...but at the time he was playing well for us

as was faiumu, he was the star player when he signed that contract dont forget..

look at ferguson, hes playing well now its his last year, they play for contracts and try for the best deal then a few years in they slack off then in the last year they play well again! cording is another whos shown up well this year (out of contract)

ahhh keiths dad is back! no longer a giants fan?

i think the giants could well lose this case... 300k ouch, might have to sell a few players!!!
