I am pretty sure this is going nowhere. And I wouldn't worry about pundits especially Carragher. He's wealthy enough to seek decent legal advice.

I think they want Eddie Howe but not willing to pay the compensation fee to Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Apparently later on in the season the fee disappears.

Carragher has already apologised, my initial reaction was that it’s really disappointing that he gave Villa what he wanted, but the more I thought about it, it could well have been the clever move.
Half the lawsuits Trump throws out he knows he has no chance of winning. But it’s the threat, it’s the sense of unpredictability, and it’s the fact that you get everyone talking about you. It’s essentially a content / engagement play. And by apologising straight away…everyone just moves on. Villa look stupid and weird, and the pundits continue about their day. I’m sure Sky told him to apologise but I’m glad they didn’t give him the oxygen.
What a weird weird thing. Is Villa’s standing improved now because they’ve extracted a tweet apology out of a pundit? Are they more likely to sign players now? Or do they just look completely tinpot?

Saudi Sportswashing Machine sacked him! No way they can claim compensation from anyone for hiring Howe!
But Howe might have had in his contract that he's not getting paid compensation when/if he takes a new manager job.
When they sack him they pay out his contract. So utd or howe would have to pay that back to Saudi Sportswashing Machine.
There's usually a 6 month or year then a competing club can sign.
Depends on the contract.

Or it's paid out weekly/monthly/quarterly over a set period of time. None of us know.
Regardless, any compensation claim would be against Howe, not a new club. Their agreement is with Howe, not anyone else.

The United game was very weird, they should have been 3-0 up V Chelsea at HT and then went to absolute brick after HT

I also believe this is the way it works. Can’t see clawback being practical.

Respectfully, I think you're missing the tactics here.
Some clubs, ours included, are just sick and tired of the bias nonsense that comes out of the mouths of the Sky p ricks. Carragher heads that list with his mate Neville. They happily abuse their position as pundits and take pot shots at different clubs and players. It is as if they untouchable just like the spitting incident which brought Carragher down with a bump in life. He is a lucky man to still have a job at Sky.
I doubt Villa ever thought that it would go to court and become a real lawsuit. However, Sky soon took that little p rick in a room and made him apologise for being a nob. Villa won the battle and put Sky back in their box. Good for them. Now Carragher will just pause a little each time he is about to step out of line. He'll know that thew world is watching his bahaviours and he might change. He is a leopard though.
Personally, I think some of the clubs like us and Villa do need to throw our weight around with entities like PGMOL and Sky once in a while. It keeps them on their toes and make them act more professionally.

Timber has got away with two of those now.
