The charitable arm of a Glasgow football club claims it has suffered "immensely" after being sued by an international footballer.
However, a tribunal judge ruled that she had never been taken on as an employee but as a volunteer for the foundation instead. Mr Caldwell claimed he made clear at the meeting that any role would be with the charitable arm of the club. She believed that her role and salary were agreed upon and that she would be given £32,000 plus 20 per cent of commission on any sponsorship deals generated by her.Reference was made to an application to fund her role from the Robertson's Trust but Mr Caldwell allegedly said that she would be "paid regardless of the application".
She told the tribunal the women's side told her they were getting "no support" from Clyde and were changing on the pitch. When asked why she didn't question this in writing, Ms Rabbitte stated that she didn't want to appear aggressive. It was concluded that Mr Calwell didn't have "any reason to mischaracterise the nature of the relationship or mislead others". It found that Mr Caldwell in an email to Ms Rabbitte, said that she had agreed to continue in a volunteering role and wasn't corrected on it.
Ms Rabbitte already had a job paying £48k a year during the time she alleges she was employed by Clyde. She still crowdfunded for legal fees despite those earnings. She produced not one single piece of evidence backing her claims. Hardly seems fair to the charity or her donors
