Re: Sean Morrison

How about a player coaching role.

Still gets a wage with vital input to younger players and then pay as you play when fully fit.

I think more than 90% of pay as you play contracts only exist in the imaginations of message board users on this message board

Re: Sean Morrison

There’s a clear precedent here with the Joe Bennett situation, he was released by the club while recovering from the same injury Sean Morrison has sustained. I thought it was a little cold hearted by the club to just let Bennett go like that (although he did train with City pre season), but I could understand it from a business is business point of view - I don’t see how this situation is different from the one last year. By all means, let a fine servant of the club use its facilities to help in his recovery, but, sadly, it’s not been the Sean Morrison we’ve been used to seeing since 2014 this season and before his injury, I thought we should let him go - I must say as well that Ollie Denham’s performance on Sunday suggests there are other young centrebacks at the club able to come in and do a job for us at Championship level next season.

Re: Sean Morrison

I've heard of players getting payouts on insurance, but one of the conditions if the payout being that they can never play professional football again.
there have been a few decent players who have ended their career early though injury, but then gone on to playing in the conference or other non league as it is semi professional, and if they've won promotion to the league they have to leave the club, or pay back all the insurance money.

I'm guessing Morrison probably isn't done with professional football yet.

I mean the club. Insuring against long term injuries of players so they are not liable for all of their wages whilst injured. Given the multi million pound contracts of the playing squad you would think they would have some kind of insurance, even if it only covered a portion of the players wages.

Obviously the issue in Morrison’s case is he’s out of contract at end of June so any ongoing payment then the club would be 100% liable for.

I don’t think it’s cold hearted at all, especially if as reported bennett was offered a deal he turned down previously. He was just as happy to leave us so I don’t see why we should give him a deal to not be fit for 9 months. I’d say the club were more than good letting him train with us and use the facilities. Only so much money to go around, whose to say the money freed up from Bennett didn’t bring in McGuiness. I don’t think there is much loyalty in football either way, it’s all ruled by money be it the player or the club.

I'm not sure if such policies exist, as they would need to pay out fairly regularly, the premiums would be astronomical

Just googled it and seems it’s quite common in the professional game for clubs to insure its high earners.

interesting, I wonder what the clauses are with that.
I can imagine it being used in the case of a career ending injury, but if someone's out for a week with a slight knock then surely not then or they'd be making hundreds of claims a year.
I wonder what the cut off would be

Probably wouldn’t claim or be covered for a week or two out but I’d say 9 months out with an ACL is pretty serious from a financial point of view and the sort of thing to be insured against.

that's true, but he's only contracted to us for another 4 months

5 months including Feb which has only just began but, yes, I cant imagine the club will be insured to pay him beyond his contract when its up at the end of June. If a new contract is agreed id assume they couldnt get insurance on an already injured player.

yeah so is 4 or 5 months enough to trigger an insurance payout? possibly yes.
I bet the insurance company are scouring the team sheet every week, desperate to see Isaac Vassell involved

I doubt we could get cover for him given his previous. How he passed the medical god only knows.
