Is this the first time a player has ever taken a club to court over an injury? I know McGinn had something with St Mirren but that was because he has a corner flag launched at him, so they're not really comparable.

He was meant to go to St Johnstone so Rangers released him to go then signed for us instead. Rangers caught wind and tried to reverse his release but obviously couldn’t. Fantastic move by Daz.Quote:

JDH has nothing to lose as the PFA will have a deal with Thompsons.
A sheriff will decide if LJ and or Hibs have been negligent but I would not give much thought to the emotive language used by Thompsons in their press release. At this stage, it's just an attempt to get a settlement
That they won’t all be reputableQuote:

JDH managed to get himself fit enough to play against Villa, a team levels above us, surely he put himself in serious danger by playing against a team much better than us with a dodgy leg? :confused:
Have heard first hand how this was handled at the time, which put shame on us. Thankfully i think all the folks culpable are long gone now. Still we should be accountable

In fairness to Jake Doyle Hayes there will be bonuses he’s missed on due to the injury so it completely depends on his contract and how much these bonuses were like appearances, goals, win bonus whilst playing there are so many factors contractually that could impact the amount he’s due and plus he was on a long term deal. I genuinely think he’s gonna win this case or settle for an amount that Jake Doyle Hayes is happy with. He was the playing prior to the injury & clearly it effected the factors above.
Dont think we'd have to concern ourselves with a goals bonus too much...! Unless his mates had a trip planned.Quote:

Durrant and Cooper, almost comparable.Quote:

What club may, or may not, have come in for him if he hadn't been injured is utter guesswork, his performances for us when he did play were unlikely to get the attention of Salford City or Doncaster Rovers, never mind Celtic or Man United.
Hibs lawyer could do worse than produce threads from here and the bounce from the games he did play. I'm betting there weren't many comments comparing him to Messi or Ronaldo.
As for LJ's 'incompetence' and 'incoherence' : Like it or not he had managed several clubs at a decent level before joining us, and you can hardly point to the fact most of them sacked him as proof of his inability to do the job, managers who haven't been sacked at least once are as rare as hens teeth, including many with a far better pedigree than LJ.
IMO JDH would need other Hibs players or coaches to testify that LJ's way of working differed so markedly from other coaches / managers they had worked with that it is reasonable to say his methods put the players at a significantly higher risk of injury than most, if not all, of the coaches and managers they had worked with before and after LJ.
This isn't about unrealised talent / ability. This is about being physically able to play professional football and JDH currently plays in a full time professional league where in order to get insurance you no doubt have to prove that you are physically up to the stresses and strains that full time football puts on your body.
The fact is he can still play full time professional football and get insurance to do it........... to lay the fact it isn't in La Liga or the EPL at Hibs or LJ's door and asking us to pay for that sounds like utter bollox to me.
Hate this rubbish, why not just say how it was handled then? Big bad hibs at it again, the guy was under contract and would have been paid in accordance with that contract, you can’t expect performance related bonuses if you aren’t contributing due to injury or suspension, players get injured in training all the time just cause it so happened to be a challenge with the manager doesn’t mean a thing.Quote:
