Who has a tea lady these days? Sounds like something from the 1950s!

 

[sillytuna]

Tabloid trick to avoid naming people is to do a concurrent story close by or in the same article. Just saying!

Also, sounds like she's not been going to restaurants, only fancy bars claiming to be restaurants!

You mean there’s no one that comes round your office with a tea urn and a trolley of cakes?

Watch out for the wokes tea person

Whoever it is should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves getting someone in that position the sack.

Slow down a moment. We don’t the facts.
Whoever got the sack may have deserved it.

No way

The fact is an elderly lady who probably depends on that job has been sacked for making a comment about a players wife. Now unless it’s a racist comment which seems unlikely in this situation I doubt a sacking is deserved.

They could have told us which city the club was from, where she worked and if they wore stripes, or not.

Well then if you’re correct, then the sacker is at fault and not the original complainer.

or……

regardless of the lady’s age, she may have deserved it.

I do admit to reading on about those merry wives of Manchester.

The complainer made the complaint so would have wanted action taken.

Do you think she's up for a manager's job somewhere?

It’s 5.45 am……I’m stupid to be posting about some insignificant story.
Moving on.

"Elsewhere, the wife of Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan recently made headlines..."


Yeah, not mentioning which clubs tea lady, or which players wife. Just happen to mention a TOTALLY unrelated incident, involving a TOTALLY unrelated players wife ....

 

[Jack Russell]

I wonder if those Botoxed lips affect her sense of taste? I have seen more attractive remoras!

OK, who's going to start the BBTL Thread?

We do not know what her contract says but if she is a long standing emplyee she will have rights and if the club have not followed these then she will be due compensation. It would be hard to make any employer take a sacked employee unless they are unionised which I doubt in this case but she will be due a nice pay out.
If however she is popular this could outweigh the sacking if those that wanted her objected to her sacking.
As we dont know who the player is its hard to make a judgement but the wife might be a stroppy cow flexing her husbands muscle..........if you know what I mean.
My own thinking is this player may only be with the club for a relatively short time as opposed to the sacked elderly lady. Alternatively being elderly now she might be happy to take a payment and put her feet up.

I think the article above makes it fairly clear who the wife is.

I must have missedsomething then somewhere. If you are referring to the Manc player the article says 'elsewhere'. So as I say if I have missed something please put me out of my misery.

The media's way of telling you without telling you is often to put a wholly different story about the same individuals in close proximity......

We can't tell you who it is. But let's talk about a football team and one of their players. Obviously, this is nothing to do with the original story..... We wouldn't possibly do that.....

It's not stopped you before.

On the QT, I've heard from a very trustworthy person the whole sordid story, and it wasnt in the Premier at all
It all happened at the Hawthorns, this players wife said she wanted a cup of tea, the tea lady came back with a mug of tea, this players wife said i asked for a cup, All the tea lady said was, we haven't had any cups here in years, but had plenty of mugs,
She was only telling the truth,
