‘As far as he was aware David Lowe hadn’t left’.

The longest standing first team coach at the club and he may still be clocking in to Brockhall, might not be. Best peer down from the Directors Box to the dug-out on Saturday to check.

Some set-up this.

In the FF meeting Suhail answered the initial question regarding Waggott with one word. It took a lot of probing around directorial responsibilities and EFL rules for him to admit that Waggott was still employed. He seemed very reluctant to do so.

I don’t think Lowe being absent from Brockhall or Ewood will necessarily mean he isn’t being paid by Rovers. I expect that both he and Waggott will have very nice looking gardens at the end of the summer.

Then people will wonder why despite cutbacks the running costs don't come down.

How many others are they still paying i wonder.

Mention of Waggott being "still employed" sends me into a cold sweat.

Is it normal for employees who have been dispensed with but who are on gardening leave to be referred to in that way?

I take it he doesn't actually do anything or wield any influence any longer?

If you’re on gardening leave you’re still technically employed.

Ok thanks.

[Mike E]

I’m fairly sure Ian Holloway was once placed on gardening leave by a club, purely to prevent him going to a rival until the end of the season.

[Tom]

Yep speaking from a HR perspective if we put someone on gardening leave they are in effect being paid for working their notice but not needed in work, typically for an exec role that’s 6 months.

An alternative is to pay PILON - Payment in Lieu of Notice and end employment immediately but that can have tax implications for the employee.

As it will likely have been mutual consent I imagine the former was agreed

The link seems to be broken now. Is that coincidence or has someone do be this deliberately?

Thanks Ian,

Working again now.

I think I am becoming paranoid about it all.  😞

The names on the that list put in the public domain would probably bring an end to the Venky tenure !
