Missing two games in a row, not even traveling - due to presonal/fmily reasons
now I understand shit happens but it is exactely that, if I ever missed consecutive shifts/weeks for 'personal/family reasons' I would have been sacked, we really need an effin striker.
He wanted to come to us so could be closer to his family, feelin we've been used once again - Asked some leeds fans and they don;t recl him missing a game for these reasons before - just cos he was moody or shite

Enough said for me.
Your boss is obviously a complete tosser.I'd say loook for another job .......if there were any.
so if, for example, your child was, heaven forbid, seriously injured in a road accident and in intensive care your boss would expect you to turn into work ? If so I'd tell him to shove it. Not saying this is what has happened to Kandol but if it had his mind wouldn't be on the job anyway and he'll be worse than useless to us.
ive edited this. its personal family reasons - surely thats all you need to know.
Hey, another Addick comes out of the closet.
Another addick in the team will help as well!
I'm quite disgusted in people, sometimes.
Looking ahead to next season, I think he'd be an excellent signing.
I just hope the club will be able to juggle the finances enough to be able to afford him. With the big wages that will be coming off the books, I can't see why not.
With Todorov and Gray certainly gone, a Kandol/Dickson partnership should be more than a handful at that level (if the manager decides to play two strikers most of the time..). Burton and Fleetwood can wait in line.
"And it seems to me, he lives his life Tresor Kandol in the wind..."
Both a nice song and Elton John connection for the game.
Sounds more like he watched us on a few school trips
I'd like to keep him, should be good at League One level, and his height makes him different than anything else we've got.
World beater one week lazy so and so the next.
Probably why he is not playing consistently at a higher level than league 1.
I said on an earlier thread that a Leeds season ticket holder told me the same thing. There again, to my mind, at least there's a chance that he might score whereas that really isn't the case with Burton is it?
Why the need to bring everyone down to the lowest level? Surely we should be arguing the opposite so that everyone has better conditions of work, not worse. We don't live in the dark ages anymore. Being a parent is the most important job anyone can do bar none - including playing for Charlton! If his kid is ill, he was absolutely right not to travel and the club was spot on to grant him leave. Hats off to Kandol for getting his priorities right and being a good Dad. Sadly there's too few of these around these days.
Credit to the club for their generosity of spirit, but at the end of the day it's just a job.
Especially when your own child is seriously ill, you just have to be there.
Any parent will tell you that.
Scruffle, I wonder if you may have changed you mind having heard it was a sick child?
Have you and where do you work that your boss would sack you for missing two shifts?
I have on 2 occasions been fortunate enough to have an understanding employer who helped me both when my daughter was born seriously prematurely (under 2lb in old money) and also when my wife was first taken ill with a brain tumour. On both occasions I worked with my employer to contribute as much as I could during those difficult times. It is fair to say that it was a successful business and I contributed to that success before and after these events.
But I have also been a Manager of a number of staff and what is considered a 'serious family problem' to one member of staff is not necessarily deemed so by others. In other words you have to tread carefully because some people unfortunately take the piss.
Another problem of course is the number of working parents where there is no back up if the child is sick. So invariably you have twice the sickness record as that person is off sick for themself and the child(ren).
In the case of the Kandol family it looks like this has been going on for some time so I wish all his family well as it must be a strain on them all.
