Nicolas Anelka, it cannot be debated, that when he's on... he's on...
A tremendous scorer who can also be a tremendous headache...
Evidenced by his short-lived time at West Brom... after a move on a scored goal in late December, his time was even shorter-lived...
BBC Newsnight caught up with David Baddiel about the "quenelle" salute Anelka gave...
And, then, caught up with Dieudonne himself back in February...
West Brom gave conditions for his reinstatement- which were later revealed to be an apology to everyone and accept a fine.
Anelka then took to his Twitter account to announce he was leaving and terminating his contract on his own "with immediate effect."
The club, then, decided it wasn't Anelka's move to make and sacked him...
Their statement:
"Nicolas Anelka's purported termination of his Premier League contract this evening via Social Media was invalid as this was not conducted under the correct legal process as required by his contract.
"The club considers the conduct of Nicolas Anelka on December 28, coupled with his purported termination on Social Media this evening, to be gross misconduct.
"As a result the club has tonight written to Nicolas Anelka giving him 14 days' notice of termination as required under his contract."
West Brom, as a footnote, picked up a major three points in a win at Swansea to get a little further away from relegation...
