They need commercial revenue from emerging markets so they can spend cash. The Saudi PIF is not short of money!

He's not being held hostage. He's resigned and he'll get paid in full, until he can take up his new role at a direct competitor. It benefits a club not to fold, because then you look like a soft touch and that (as we've seen at United in terms...

My point (set out in another post below responding to someone else) is that they most likely would never have to sue him because he'll abide by his contractual terms. The implied threat of action is usually enough to stop people being stupid...

The delay is obviously a problem as some big decisions have to be made; not least what's happening with the manager, and I suspect Ashworth will want direct input into other hires in the executive team as well. I suppose they must think he's...

They wouldn't, but that's not really the point. I've acted in cases like this, and if you're interested, the process generally works like this. The value in these clauses for high level executives/key people in a business is the threat that an...

Yeah, I think they'll soften once they get a replacement and a deal will be done eventually. Can't blame them for not rolling over. They're trying to make sure people respect them in negotiations. Getting a reputation for weakness won't help...

In this scenario, you don't have to "prove it" to kick off Court proceedings. You would likely seek an urgent injunction in the short term. Everyone would then have to give witness evidence at a Court Hearing, obviously including the former...

Spot on. Putting all the poor performances aside - what is he even trying to do? He surely cannot be setting up to play on the break at a bottom 6 side? No progress, no identity, awful transfers, bizarre decisions in game, deluded post match...

Yeah, I suspect I would have, but I also didn’t have that much confidence in the club having a structure that might be able to improve it. With the structure of the club how it was, it was always going to be a tough job, and he’s had bad luck...

I disagree. If he’s signed a contract he should be held to it. If he’s daft enough to breach it - which just to be clear, I think he won’t be, then he’s fair game. Clubs are guaranteeing these blokes millions on fixed contracts, and paying money...

In all seriousness, I don’t rate Southgate. Bottled the Euro final after the early goal and is too conservative, but at least he seems to be able to generate something positive from the players. Never felt as deflated watching United for years...

Can’t be worse than this.

Laughable.

Making Brentford look like Real Madrid.

Nah, can’t expect us to play any decent football with the Glazers in charge….
