Now THAT is hilarious!
Next thing he'll be wanting 17.5% leave loading on top of that
Yeah it would be very funny if it wasn't the St.Kilda Football Club this filcher, was targetting.
On top of that Thomas already creamed over 2.5 million off the club, after virtually self appointing himself, with his then mate Butterss and along with Butterss agreed to pay himself $500,000 a year.
If you think that Thomas was independant of this process, then you really are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Now he's rejecting a settlement of over $100,000 that was naively and stupidily offered by Butterss in the first place, for nothing more than for Thomas to go quietly
Nup he wants more, the whizz bang contract negotiator, who insisted that he singlehandedly run the entire football department and look after ALL of the player's contract's, is conveniently now so incompetent that he couldn't even sort out his own
The fact is that Thomas himself, signed a stat dec staing that he is not owed one cent of holiday or annual leave entitlements, yet he now claims he was pressured into signing
Any reasonable person and particularly one who claims to 1. "love the club" and 2. " I would never do anything to hurt the St.Kilda Football Club" would surely, weigh everything up and realise that, after being appointed as an untried and unproven coach through a flawed process and getting $500,000 a year from the get go, without any previous AFL coaching experience, and all up over 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS, it would be in everyone's interest to accept $ 100,000 of hush money, that should never have been offered in the first place and move on.
Why is it that whenever Thomas leaves an organization, acrimony abounds?
It was always about Grant Thomas and what Grant Thomas can do for himself and his actions back that up to the hilt.
Even in the 80's when many players made a huge financial sacrifice with a player payment scheme, taking 22.5 cents in the dollar to ensure that the St.Kilda football club remained in existence, Grant Thomas was paid every cent that was owed to him and he then did a runner and left to North Melbourne.
The St.Kilda Football Club is only in existence for Grant Thomas to sue today because of the massive sacrifices made by those players at the time, and it is interesting to note that Grant Thomas was not one of them.
These player's are and will always be TRUE SAINTS MEN, who truly did by their actions bleed for the Red, White and Black.
The only bleeding of Red, White and Black that Thomas Maximus does comes off the St.Kilda Football Club's bottomline.
$168,000 for holiday pay and this after you've already signed a stat dec stating you're not even owed this money, and not forgetting coming from the man who portrayed himself as the whizz bang contract negotiator who insisted on running the football club singlehandedly and being responsible for all of the player's contracts, and from one who claims that he would never do anything to hurt the St.Kilda Footballl Club, this would be rolled gold comedy, but for the fact that it is the St.Kilda Football Club, that this leech is trying to screw.
Yep, any reasonable man would take the $100,000 of money for nothing, on top of the more than 2.5 million that you've already lined your pockets with and not forgetting that was from a dubious appointment, with a very generous $500,000 a year sum for a rookie coach with no previous AFL coaching experience.
Every dollar that Grant Thomas tries to leech off the St.Kilda Football Club, to line his own pocket's with, is one dollar less that the St.Kilda Football Club has in it's quest to win a premiership.
Even after being paid over 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS, this is the thanks and the way this svengali snake oil salesman treats the club
Grant Thomas a saints man.................pfft,
PLEAZZZZZZZZZZE
DO THE MATHS AND THE SQUARES ARE ALL ROOTED.
