Boreham Blue
Match day squad⭐
Do we know that he’s staying away or is he injured or training but not being selected?
Isnt that where things like constructive dismissal come into it?Would still have him in when everyone else has gone home!
The odd thing is, if we want rid of him then why pay him to sit at home and do nothing? I’d have him in every day running laps of the training ground in the pouring rain - that might make him think again and ready to negotiate a pay off!
Constructive dismissal usually when you put someone in a position where it is stressful, they do not have the skill set, causes mental anxiety! He would be required to come in and prove he is fit! Run around for a couple of hours and go home!Isnt that where things like constructive dismissal come into it?
Trouble is nobody knows the situation. A lot of us are assuming he’s still getting paid, as we have no other reason to think otherwise.
Having said that, we had a sort of similar thing with Kightly at the end of last year, where the Echo reported he was “set to retire”, with no announcement until months afterwards, even though it was clear he retired straight after the season.
It could be that Ridgewell has left, the club and echo just haven’t announced it.
Plus if he’s not at training and not injured it becomes more likely he’s not here anymore

I don't think it's anything like Kightly last season, he was still making plenty of appearances, and still training.
Didn’t mean his contribution to the pitch, meant the revealing of information to the fans
There is a slight difference, the Kightly stuff was happening out of season, if your releasing a player during the season then you have to de register with the EFL within a set period of time from the termination, as of now he is still registered with the EFL.
But i take your point the lack of info is terrible, Sol said discussions were on going in November I think and we have not heard anything since. My only assumption is that one side isnt willing to end the contract, could be Ridgewell or could be the club and lack of funds etc
I couldn't agree more, was a point i was trying to make without going into such detailUnless he is prepared to take a substantial reduction in what he is owed under the contract then given the current cash flow the club would, I am sure, prefer to just continuing paying his contract. There may be an element of him saying I will go now for 80% and the club saying 60% but Ridgewell is almost certainly wealthiy enough to wait his money in instalments and that might suit us.
One rider is the current scenario might make him think 60% odf something is better than nothing- the counter is if we had the 60% we would be paying the stewards, staff and other players before paying him up front.
Not sure the club sharing this is particular helpful or good press. Hence, it has faded into the background.
He is still alive, getting some abuse in the comments.
Lot of keyboard warriors there.
