its dependant on an ambassador type of role or a representative role. There may be an area of the contact which states that a said employee must behave in a certain way and must not draw negative attention that may be detrimental to the club. From my experience at least and contracts I've seen an individuals actions are carefully tied to their own fate without the company coming under threat.Is there a legal precedent for punishing a company for the actions of an employee when not at work?
Any retroactive rule making would surely be destroyed in court. However....Scots court, Goat abusers as judges and brown brogue wearing lawyers anything is possible in unFair Caledonia
There does seem to be popular culture pressure and political pressure seems to push sanctions at times that companies accept as a hit rather than fight it and win in court to save face in the media.
Technically we don't and shouldn't have to do this as our stakeholders are all niche and in many cases constant.
Id even argue that if Aberdeen and Celtic went at it and attacked in court the game bans we could win.
Stopping a company trading with fit and clear employees is murky water....
Its not worth it as games will be rescheduled and the hyper media will distract players which will negatively impact our points over the season.
A new set of rules would have to be put in place regarding pandemic footballing practice. The huns were dusted with ebts because they were risky and illegal under existing rules. This was proved and they were fucked for it.
Covid rules change as per update. For example I couldn't be fined for not wearing a mask in tesco 2 months ago. Now I could.
If the run away train media and moon howlers demand point deductions and post rule backtracking enforcement then they can sing for their supper.
