Different situation from Tevez. O'Brien says he will not play for Leeds, this is an ongoing refusal by the player, and thus the player is in continuous breach of contract. This is not the situation with Tevez, who said he is now available for selection (well, until he pissed off to Arg). I think we will find that Tevez is fined further for his not turning up for training.
The situation here is not that the club are not allowing a player to play, it is that the player is refusing to play. The contract is saying that in return for playing and training, the player will be paid a certain amount. If the player refuses to play, then he is in breach of contract, and the other contract party is under no obligation to maintain the contracted payments. A player will not be able to just leave at his whim because he fancies pushing off, which is what you are implying below. The interesting thing is what the termination clauses actually are in professional contracts. Has anyone actually seen a pro contract?
