There's unrest brewing down Gorgie way, as the Jam Tarts (aka "Heart of Midlothian Football Club") have parted company with Robbo (aka John Robertson : The Hammer of the Hibees aka "Hibernian Football Club").
I can't feel too sorry for him though. Won't he get a big juicy pay-off to compensate him for the severance of his contract?
I'd love that!
He'll get another job fairly smartish anyway. He seems a likeable sort and has had a fairly decent season with the Jambos.
It doesn't tend to happen in IT contracts though. Somewhat annoyingly, the employer generally insists that you have to work the agreed FULL term of your contract, and will only get paid for the hours you have ACTUALLY worked.
This is but a small step up from organised slavery and degrades all those who participate in this repressive system.
I'd much prefer it if a new Chief Executive joined the company half way through my contract and decided he wanted to bring his own man in, and paid me off.
I'd be ecstatic.
Anyway if the Lithuanian guy who is taking over Hearts wants his own man in, well that's his perogative. He is contributing a few squillion quid to the Hearts coffers (allegedly).
The Edinburgh Evening News apparently thinks it's all Chris Robinson's fault (aka The Pieman). This is a bit unfair, as there were 6 anti-Robertsons on the board, but the paper couldn't resist some more cheap tabloidesque potshots at The Pieman.
Maybe the Robinsons just have a traditional dislike of the quite-similar-sounding Robertsons?
Which came first? The Barley Water or the Raspberry Jam?
