I wonder if he resigned in protest over the Almstadt dismissal?

False narrative.

Not doubt the pay off will be 7 figures. Must be eye watering how much we have paid out the last few years

The last bit must make Hollis and King cry. And something that simply have to stop.

He resigned. Not sure how much we'll have to pay, if at all.

You dont walk away from £1m plus annual contract wihtout some form of pay off. I think they call it a compromise agreement which always includes some £ in order that Fox will go, and go quietly

That's my take though accept I could be wrong. The fact that it has packaged so nicely, that he has resigned, he's being thanked for his efforts and that he will continue to be available in advisory capacity to help in the transition gives credence to some sort of settlement. At the end of the day he's been told his services are no longer required and he could have dug his heels in, but it's been handled very smoothly. At least on the surface it appears that way.

At the end of the day no matter how much we have to pay him to leave it will be money well spent.

He hasn't been there two years, so can therefore just be sacked without him being able to claim for unfair dismissal. No pay off other than notice period in contract.

Do we know that TF was a salaried permanent employee?

What if he was on a fixed-term contract?

It's unusual for directors to be on fixed term contracts.  They're not like players with a value to protect, or managers where you want to keep them out of the hands of other clubs.  I'd be surprised if he was anything other than a full time employee, and therefore hopefully not entitled to anything as a pay out.

At the end of the day he was a man out of his depth and out of his league. We are now out of our depth and in a few weeks time will be officially out of our league.  Sorry to see you go Mr Fox...well that's the PC way of saying it...but on a personal note...goodbye you   #$&^%÷×+&€£¥; $#**&=÷÷^€€ !

Just how many non-playing staff has the main buffoon appointed over the last xx years and ended up sacking?
Just how many fucking shite decisions has he been responsible for, overseen or endorsed.

The common denominator is the one I really look forward to seeing the back of.

You'd be like a lawyer defending a bloke up for murder who has been caught red handed by the cops just after he puts two bullets into his victim, claiming "it wasn't me".

Good riddance. 

I'm looking forward to the blood-letting in the dressing room next.  Whatever happens next season it won't be for the want of purging the massive great lumps of faeces that have had the club debilitated through constipation these last few years.

Fox would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky fans.
