He represents the players not the club - that's his job.

So what could simpler than being patient and try calling the club again before plastering the situation all over the National press.

For what its worth I rang the club three times on Monday, 8 times on Tuesday, 6 times on Wednesday and 3 times on Thursday. On every occasion the phone was answered quickly, plesantly and efficiently by staff in the new marketing suite which is ` manned ` by two members of staff.

I think Burrow did not try very hard to make contact with the club and could not get the Sun quick enough with his pathetic tale. Not the actions you would expect from a man representing employees of the club

Sounds like the stereotypical union person The Sun usually portrays as 'the enemy' really.

I'll ask again - How do you know that Geoff Burrow contacted (in your words - "went running to"icon_wink.gif The Sun?

yes he represents the players but he should do this in a professional way, not the tardy, underhand, scheming, sneaky, kiss and tell, red top, way of scuttling to the press.

I give up

So lets pretend I am wrong and it was the Sun who contacted Burrow, it makes no difference, a man in his position should not be peddling tittle tattle with the press before he has the facts from both sides. Just because a paper rings him does not mean he has to give them a one sided tale, he is allowed to say to the paper I do not have all the facts, when I have spoken to the club I will be able to give you full details. He has caused damage to the club with his unprofessional behaviour.

You may as well just give up, you have more chance of winning the lottery every Wednesday and Saturday for the rest of your life, than making some people understand your point.

Good point - all you Trin fans - get out and buy a Euro Millions ticket or 20!

What is quite common practice in these circumstances is that the employer will say to their staff that they are sorry there has been a mixup/confusion/cockup and that they will end up being paid a couple of days late. They quite often then say that if they are affected by late charges etc... that they would be willing to deal with those for the individual if they are given proof. That way the individual isn't out of pocket in the long run. None of us on here, that I know of, are in the employ of WTWRLFC so we do not know the details of what was said to them. I know for a thing that when companies don't pay on time it looks bad for them, and when staff are public in their criticism about their company, it also looks bad on them too. See the flak that Chris Moyles got when he criticised his employers.

There needs to be a certain realism about scenarios like this, and as fans we are not going to be privvy to all the details, not now with our current financial situation, not if we had tens of millions sat in the bank either.

A bit like the usual bodies that come on here to moan about the club and post.

I'll expect something like............. oh you've already done it.


So they have been payed then this whole saga's a farce but what you can gain from rants on here is a mystery and at least the defender gets of his booty and "does what he can" unlike some people.

I would have to agree with this, at times TRB's becoming public enemy No1 and it should not be happening but in all fairness you can't fault him for it.
