Not defending to but at least now can draw a line under it and get a new manager in. Club been in limbo for a week. Getting as money out of Bruce and Newcastle can take a back seat while we concentrate on new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 2 minutes ago, vulva said: Bigger issue for me is if DC takes his bat and ball home and gives all this up as a bad job. Could totally understand why he would do that, but then we’d have an absentee chairman, and a ground we don’t own. If DC went awol it wouldn't matter if the club owned the ground or not- it would still be owned by DC. Personally I can't see him just walking away like that. The bloke is £100m in the hole, he isn't going to give that up because of Steve bloody Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I decided to mull over the news that SB has resigned so I could formulate at reasoned response. "Feck off out of our club you two faced, fat, geordie Tvvat" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Didn’t have Steve down for that sort of bloke. But what a horrendous way to leave. It’s just another very dirty to tactic to get Wednesday to agree compensation. All in all I just want this over with now, new bloke in and build up some form of positivity for Reading.

WC1Owl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 4 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: I'd urge Chansiri to take the compensation package allegedly still on the table. We can't risk getting nothing from this and we could do without the hassle of an injunction. Standing your ground is all well and good, but it can blow up in your face if you're not careful. I would put him on gardening leave, seek an injunction to stop him working for anyone else, and an injunction against Newcastle to stop them dealing with him. I would then consider applying for a court ruling on whether we could appoint a replacement. I certainly wouldn't just cave at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Jordan wanted 1m compo for Bruce in 2001, took out an injuction which dragged for a few months and ended up with half that amount. So how does that constitute ‘blowing up in your face’?

nbupperthongowl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Surely the fact that he has done this before should resonate with any judge or court and help our situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Jordan wanted 1m compo for Bruce in 2001, took out an injuction which dragged for a few months and ended up with half that amount. GARDEN LEAVE A Club can attempt to hold a Manager who is being courted by a rival Club to his contractual notice period (or to the end of his fixed term, if the Contract is expressed in that way). However, in such circumstances, relationships will often become strained, and the Manager’s current Club will typically not want the Manager to remain involved in the team’s day-to-day affairs. In such circumstances, and provided the Manager’s Contract contains the appropriate provisions, his Club can seek to place him on “garden leave”. English courts are reluctant, on grounds of public policy, to allow employers (including Clubs) to put their employees on garden leave for periods longer than six to twelve months1. However, the tactic of placing a Manager on garden leave is commonly used to delay the Manager’s departure to the rival Club, and to increase the compensation being offered for him, rather than stopping his move happening at all. The effectiveness of this strategy was seen in 2001, in the case of Steve Bruce, who wanted to leave Crystal Palace to join Birmingham City. Less than a year into his Palace Contract (which, amongst other things, provided for a nine-month notice period, and also contained a garden leave clause), Bruce attempted to resign with immediate effect, but Palace rejected that resignation (which would have amounted to a breach of contract), and sought to keep the Contract alive, by continuing to pay Bruce and honouring the Club’s contractual obligations to him. Palace sought an injunction from the High Court to enforce Bruce’s garden leave provision against him and, on the facts of that case, that injunction was granted2. Less than a month later, Palace did allow Bruce to join Birmingham, but only after Birmingham had increased their offer of compensation (allegedly from £250k to nearer the £1m Palace wanted)3. An almost identical scenario played out in 2003 when Alan Pardew sought to leave Reading to join West Ham United. In that case, a deal was agreed at the door of the court, pursuant to which Pardew agreed to (i) remain on garden leave for a month, (ii) not employ any of Reading’s staff or players until the end of the season, and (iii) give an undertaking not to use or disclose Reading’s confidential information. West Ham also agreed to pay Reading compensation of £380k4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
