That's my understanding, so if we sacked him we would pay him up a year's salary, presumably this case is based on MON expecting the money even though he jacked it in.

Didn't Robertson and Walford get a pay off? I seem to recall that on the Tuesday or Wednesday after resigning they were negotiating with the board their exits. After reading that link on the PFM site I would imagine they wouldn't have had the same type of contract as MON.

I doubt we are going to get any sensational revelations from this. I doubt we will get any revelations at all. Compromise figure agreed and both parties put out a polite statement about each other which lacks any ring of sincerity.

I bet we won't here a dicky bird. It will all happen behind closed doors.

As things stand we don't even know what the tribunal is about. Do we even know who brought the case?

What if there was a clause in his contract giving him total control over transfers? What if the club altered those terms by insisting on a sell to buy policy? What if he took that as them reneging on a contract and therefore him being entitled to a full payout?

Obviously that's complete speculation but I'm sure it will be a dispute about the terms of his contract.

Would that have anything to do with the Irish developers, Oceanico?

This isn't an LMA process - it's conducted by the Premier League.

MON is a media darling.

anything we do hear, will have been orchestrated through sycophantic journalists.

No we don't know this at all. In your little obsessed mind voices maybe be telling you this along with absolute knowledge that he wanted to buy Keane and McGeady.

Unfortunately the Keane and McGeady purchases were true and the fact they were refused is true also

I think that is true about McGeady at least.

Assuming the deal/s was within the budget and criteria he was given for recruiting players, on what grounds would someone else at the club be entitled to refuse to sanction the transfer?

On the grounds that in the old days balancing the books used to mean if you spent a certain amount on transfer fees some of that at least needed to be recouped from sales. With wages the way they are nowadays if you sell a player for 25 million and buy three eight million pound players it appears like you've balanced the books but you've probably got rid of one bloke earning 50 grand a week and brought in three earning forty grand a week.
