Lads happy new year. Good times atm and it’s been down to hard work. Anyway the Pena situation. I just saw a post saying can’t we just rip up his contract due to his be behaviour. There is not one work place in Scotland that would do that. Think whoever posted that has been workin for cash in hand for too long. The man has a problem. If yer postie showed up pissed to work n the Royal Mail just sacked him due to his behaviour. You’d be goin. That’s shocking. At least try and help the guy. So why do you think rangers football club wouldn’t support him. Sometimes i wonder if some of the posts on here are written by children.

Easy tiger that was me 😂🙈
I didn’t mean his boozing as the sackable offence.
I meant stuff where he was misbehaving in Mexico etc (I appreciate these incidents have been the result of drinking)
He has had help in Mexico and as his employer I’m sure we were involved with this on some way.

He’s had chances and he’s had help I just think given his behaviour we should get rid of him.

It’s all down to man management. Bring him back and let him prove himself to SG if he isn’t up to it then let him rot or pimp him out on a free somewhere. In all fairness he did have a decent scoring ratio. 5 in 14?, feel free to correct me. No doubt someone will.

Just to add to my last post
I would like nothing more than to be proved wrong and Pena take the SPL by storm but I just don’t see it
He’s had plenty chances and had help
I’m actually an employer and know the difficulties these situations can bring but there comes a point when someone has had help and has had enough chances as well

We have codes of conduct and he will certainly have been in breach of them a few times - I’m not sure how this would work when you are on loan with another football club though.

Pena does not deserve to wear the mighty Rangers shirt again. He has disrespect our club with wiping his nose on our shorts. Does he actually think he can swan back into our team? My answer is no, he simply isn't good enough. I don't understand people who want to give him another chance, there are plenty of players/ young players at our club who respect Rangers and are fighting a gut to get in the starting 11.

Amen goalie, a fat overweight waster who we paid big money for and pay a fortune in a wage. Couldn't even be arsed keeping a decent level of fitness. Wiped his nose on our crest and embarrassed himself and us with his anticsn at his loan clubs. Guy will never be good enough and to top it off has a stinking attitude.

Just watched the Saturdays game again and our midfield 3 worked so hard gave every ounce as did the rest of the team and there was a bench desperate to get on and do the same not to mention guys who didn't make squad and still guys on here want pena who never even made a great attempt to get himself fit enough to play and treated our badge with contempt! He's had his chance get over it, send him home.

Blue-- correct my man, unfortunately we have him for another 2 years (i think) and is on 20 grand a week. And the same goes for Hererra. i'm pretty sure those guys aren't in Gerrards plans.

Cannot see any positive outcome from Pena episode. He must want a pay off and at the right figure we will oblige.

Huistra - Not that I would ever want anyone sacked (even Pena) but we have sacked players for a lot less! Fran Sandaza.

I think it's unfair to tar both Pena and Harrera with the same brush. Harrera always tried his hardest, he simply wasn't good enough. But he is quite right to take his 20k per week (if that's what he gets) . Its whoever offered him that deal we should be pointing the finger at.

In terms of Pena. If we can't find a way to terminate his contract and no other clubs are interested then we have to give him every chance to play. It doesn't make any sense having someone on those wages sitting in the stands, even if he did blow his nose on the club crest. Loads of players including so called Legends did a lot worse during there time at Rangers!

Huistra,

First bit of sense ever posted on this subject. If an employee admits that he/ she has an addiction problem, then the employer must offer support.

If that does not happen, then there could be a claim for unfair dismissal. If Pena admits to having an alcohol dependency, then we are stuck with him until such times as all avenues have been explored.

All this "rip up his contract" rubbish is coming from those who have no clue about employee contract law.

You can’t get rid of someone because they have a problem with alcohol but you certainly can for their actions when they are under the influence of it.
That’s like saying you can come in each day and slap your boss and just blame it on having a drink problem as you will get away with it.

If we’re all being 100% honest our views on this change when it comes to a footballer
If Pena was playing like Gascoigne every week we wouldn’t really give much of a f*ck what he was up to - within reason of course

But the fact is Pena is rubbish and has been a complete waste of money and an embarrassment so most of us look on it differently

Just being honest.

No going to admit to reading all the posts, but are you ripping it? Ppl get sacked all over the place for behaviour related stuff . I go in pissed or geared out my nut it's night night . This nugget gets shed loads of dosh and wipes his nose on our crest and I'm meant to wit? Come on back big man? no, what's wrong with you? You cannot be serious with that? Like folk saying you've got to have sympathy for that wee Griffiths. just not going to happen.

People that are saying you cannot pay someone off if they have personal problems are only half right. Any employer are duty bound to offer support and full wage for 6 months (usually) then half wage for 6 months then its off to the doctors to assess fitness for duty. i'm no expert on employment law but surely no employer is expected to pay full wages indefinitely.
