Kacper Lopata

[Kat_r]

Best player we have signed for years and we have lost every game since he walked but I don't want him back now because he let his team mates and us supporters down shamefully.

Not being paid is totally unacceptable and I wouldn't work for free but he could and should have waited until the end of the season.

If you wouldn’t work for free, why should he?

Fair point but he went when the players had finally been paid and that's why I was disappointed.

Ultimately yet another f up caused by our Chairman

He wasn’t working for free.

I think the club has a point in appealing.
Would we want a precedent where players just walk out when things go askew?
I agree with a lot of comments that suggest Lopata will get a decent club in the summer, no matter the outcome.
So, why ruin his reputation and standing with a club who pushed the boat out to bring him here?
Note, as most have done, how our fortunes dipped when he left.
It clearly has had an effect on our remaining players.
And although I haven't seen the tweet when he supported Brunt's midweek antics, that's a terrible shame and says something about his character we probably don't want to hear.

PS. Agree, crude language is a norm on football forums etc, but wonder if shouted at a game in front of kids, whether those close by, parents, for example, would be as tolerant?

Despite inital appearances it turns out that Kacper Lopata = a rat pLop caKe!

If you think those comments are acceptable along with your own demeaning response then I feel sorry for you.

Such a cringe response. Can tell living in Southend wasn’t for you, I think you are made out of glass. I feel sorry for you. Can see why you are an exile lol.

I lived in Southend for more than 25 years up until the mid 80s but I was obviously fortunate in my circle of acquaintances that I rarely encountered the boorish, semi literate oafs that seem to be in plentiful supply now.

Didn’t ask for your life story.

Didn’t ask for your life story.

Nor did you get it. By the way, you should amend your sub headiing to 'where were you'. 'Where was you' is a bit of a giveaway!

 

[GBJ]

Turn it in now, please.

Both have got your points across, let’s move on.

There’s no rules when it comes to grammar on the internet. Cute that you think you can correct me though.

Who won ?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Why ? If a player has no wish to play for the club again then move him on, don’t need players here that can’t be bothered.

We can get him clearing the shrubs at Fossetts.

The club are only appealing to prolong any pay-out to Lopata.

Classic Martin strategy.

What pay out?
He was up to date with wages when he ‘resigned’. The appeal is so we can get a fee for him from his new club Isn’t it?

Surely we'd be paying more if we won the appeal since that would mean he's still our player?

Usually a player will agree a signing on fee that gets paid out across the life of the contract. If the player submits a transfer request they forgo any outstanding amount. Maybe the appeal is whether the club are liable for any remaining signing on fee if the player opts out?

 

[in the know]

Believe it's simply an 'ombudsman" style review of the appeal we already lost. Very much doubt a different result will emerge unless new facts come to light, which I don't think will be the case.
I'd suggest it's not anything more than a nothing to lose thing to do.
