Quote: Mrs Barista "If we assume Tansey has been suspended for disciplinary reasons, he should be sacked.
As a first choice player, to make yourself unavailable through misconduct when you've been on a warning already this year, at this point in the season is 100% unforgivable. O'Meley played it tough for the team in the middle of the season with busted ribs. Fitz has been superhuman in his efforts all year long. Horne is playing on through a serious medical condition. His actions mean that younger and more inexperienced players are played and targetted. Don't know how he can look any of these players in the eye TBH.'"
Sorry but I disagree with you there. Why is it a case of SHOULD be sacked? Firstly, people are making assumptions, as it is nobody knows for sure what has or has not gone on with Tansey's disciplinary record or what stage he is down the disciplinary procedure. Pure speculation.
Your main arguement for sacking him seems to be that he let his team mates down & that others have performed admirably through the season.(Your reference to Fitz, O'Meley and Horne), well that just doesn't cut it from an employment rights point of view I'm afraid.
I would never condone any actions that put the clubs name in a bad light or disable the teams on field performance but given disciplinary procedures can be complex and a minefield for employers full & proper attention to detail must be followed. Upholding the contract terms & employment law when going through a disciplinary procedure without the use of emotive subjects as you mentioned (which are not relevent) must be adhered to throughout.
Gross misconduct I would accept as a reason to dismiss but 2 warnings (if indeed there have been two official written warnings) does not neccessarily equal dismissal.
Lets wait to see what the club announces (if anything) then you can stick your daggers in his back
