Any new appointment today and McLeish could sue us into orbit for constructive dismissal.

How would that change the amount he was due?  He's on a fixed term contract that will need to be paid up.  Also as he's only been an employee for 11 months he can't claim unfair dismissal.

Only if he's resigned, if he's been sacked the board can appoint who they like on the same day if they care to.

There's too much speculation in the press for them not to announce something today.

It's likely he has been offered a compromise agreement to stop him suing in the future for unfair dismissal. He'll have to talk with his lawyers first so I don't see this being announced for a day or so.



See my reply above.  He can't claim for unfair dismissal.

Expect the new manager to be unveiled at 5pm then!

Only kidding.  We have to hope it's already sorted out behind the scenes and made to look like we interviewed him next Wednesday and appointing him on the Friday.

I'm no employment law expert. but surely if he's sacked for being crap we can appoint who we want whenever we want? And the same if he resigned?

No chance of naming his replacement today, because assuming that person is currently employed it would virtually confirm we'd tapped them up

Which ironically is exactly what we've done according to that ITK agent fella from twitter-land, who says we've already been in contact with Lambert.

It's one thing to do it but it's another to do it blatantly.
