Quote ="Dannyboywt"Smug no this is a hot RL topic and this is a free discussion.
It is a sad day for a man with a young family and a loss to the game if true. All I am saying is there are many runours of a more serious nature that people don't seem to want to beleive. I have spoken to a very good source and a fellow player has told someone the same.
If people want to believe he has missed two key matches and there is no update due to breaking a curfew and a couple of pints good on them. All I am saying is don't be blinkered as that story doesn't add up. There is mention of police involvement too and all this adds up to something or a more serious nature.
Put on a public forum what this? Until the investigation is complete and public this must remain speculation.'"
So to sum up, you're just peddling rumours that are bull, being a typical Wakey fan.
Got it
He's missed 2 games because the meeting only took place yesterday HTH.
Quote ="bren2k"If this is a full scale disciplinary process, involving an investigation and subsequent hearing, then the delay is understandable - there are certain proscribed timescales that have to be followed and it's very easy for the respondent to delay the process by, for example, exercising their right to be accompanied at the hearing then advising that their representative is not available until x date.
Equally, if as some people have alluded to, there is involvement from a third party, it's not unusual for them to insist that they be allowed to conclude their own investigations before the employer commences theirs; for example, a criminal investigation will always take precedent over an employment matter - in those circumstances, it's perfectly normal for an employee to be suspended on full pay.
As much as an employer might want to get matters like this boxed off quickly, it can harm them later if they don't follow the correct procedure; their own disciplinary process has to be adhered to and they have to able to demonstrate that their actions were 'fair and reasonable in the circumstances.'
I don't have any inside information on Rangi by the way, just making a general observation about the timescale involved.'"
