Beauchief Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just now, prowl said: I wonder who we sue Ashley for appointing someone under conract to us or Bruce for breach of contract. As far as I know we can only sue the party to the contract which is Bruce but I don't know how the contract is worded or if special rules apply in football. If we sue Bruce it could cost him a lot. I would imagine the PL could also be interested here as the whole issue could set a very dangerous precedent re breaking contracts and clubs employing players/managers/coaches still under contract to other clubs (as their resignations have not been accepted). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Course we can get a new manager. Bruce resigned. Would only have been an issue if we'd made the managers job redundant, and even then there's ways around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would not be seen in our favour if we bring in a new manager. An absolute mess of a situation. No doubt Bullen will be given the job until it’s all sorted :-( Then I suggest you prepare yourself to be very surprised. There is no way we’ll go into the season with no manager in place, there is absolutely zero legal reason why we cannot appoint someone. Bruce is no longer our employee, the issue is now money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is his last pay day, what other club would touch him with a barge pole? Not sure about that, his great grandfather was a big Hartlepool fan, ya know 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’d put him on garden leave and then hired someone else then it probably would have been judged as constructive dismissal Edit: not saying the first line is not true. I was referring to the second part Edited July 17, 2019 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrbuk Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 "Caretaker and interim managers completing at least 10 competitive games will be deemed the permanent manager" Tell you what, Bullen at 6/1 is looking mighty tempting right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm assuming it's the two coaches that are the issue, so I would think we can employ a new manager if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
