She says that he told her the club had 'plenty of money' for the new post.
Lauren Rabbitte is suing Clyde FC and the team's charitable foundation saying they reneged on a promise to pay her for a full-time job, reports our sister title The Herald.
She said she turned down a full-time job with Edinburgh City and an interview with Arsenal to take up the role at Clyde, where she was also tasked with securing more sponsorship for the men's side.Ms Rabbitte, who lives in East Lothian, said she was on a £40k salary at a sales firm owned by her mother when she was approached by Mr Caldwell.
She said:"We hit it off really well, I had a good profile. We shook hands and he initiated the handshake." She said she asked to be referred to human resources and called the Robertson's Trust and was told the application was"full of spelling mistakes" and limited in detail. The tribunal was shown emails where Mr Caldwell told the club he had taken her on in a voluntary capacity.
The club's lawyer questioned why she not approach HR herself about a written contract or raise a grievance and said emails made clear Mr Caldwell was affiliated to the foundation and not the club.
