12 days from eclipsing the 72 days it took to appoint Nuno in 2021.

But I was told that we have plenty of time, and that this wouldn't be like our search in 2021. :rolleyes:
Who cares? We need a manager in by mid-June. If we get him in by then, what difference does it make how many days elapsed?

Talk about having an axe to grind...
 
Contracts are absolutely enforceable…. Otherwise what is the point in having them drawn up and signed at considerable legal expense?
Contracts are
But restriction of employment isn’t
It’s not my area of expertise
But in sport I’ve seen examples where it’s been a case of paying up the contract to leave it
 
Because a notice period that say if either party wants to get out of the contract then they need to give the others [x] months notice

Some go further by having a non-compete clause covering a period which either runs from when notice is given or when the notice period ends.
Indeed…. There is talk that the UK will alter the law around non compete clauses to set a maximum enforceable length of 3 months. However notice periods are completely different.

Yes and no depending whats in them. If a manager has a release fee and a fair chunk of change on their time left then yes. If not then you can only demand whats relative to whats left and be compensated for that. Like anything if the manager wants out and plants his flag in the sand not many clubs will price themselves out of it as risk of having someone that does not want to be there.

Yeah I know and their not legal either
It’s restrictions of employment
But it comes down to how much he would want to push it for a start
Very little it seems

Mid June is leaving it late. I’d want the new manager well versed in our first team and higher age level youth squads by then and already working with the DoF on positions and types of players required to be brought in.
 
Some will post that you can't believe anything anyone says or anything in the media...until it goes against what they think, and then, hey presto - it's all suddenly true!


No its mostly all gonads, yet some get fixated on it to prove the agenda they may ( or may not) have.

Restrictions of employment are enforceable!

I have a non-compete which I'm currently working through.

What isnt enforceable with a non-compete is if its overly long or overly punitive (eg global). But a non-compete stopping you move to a competitor for [x] months is definitely enforceable

Is it ?
I’ve never seen an example where it has been enforced when challenged
I’ve only ever seen the opposite
 
Wasn't Slot's compensation fee around 6 million euros? That's trivial... it's just that we're a toxic cursed haunted mansion. You need to be brave and/or stupid to take the job if offered. I think we will see managers who are comfortable in their jobs stay longer and not do a Potter.
How hard is it to find someone who's relatable, on top of being a good manager? It must get more and more difficult for the older managers (50+ age range) to connect with these players with their TikToks and their... I dunno, I'm getting too old for this brick.

Yes and yes. The notice period is there to protect both the employee and the employer and is completely enforceable by either side. I have both taken on and employed into C level positions. The notice period is absolutely legally enforceable. Of course if the employer and employee both agree to waive/alter the notice period then that is a different matter but one of the two parties cannot do so unilaterally.

Before I started my own fund I was in a C level position at a Financial institution. I had a 12 month notice period. I negotiated it down seeing as I was off to do my own thing and not join a competitor (though other non compete type contractual terms were added instead)
 
Who’s trying to reframe it? You’re ignoring direct quotes from the person in question to fit your agenda of Levy not paying up.
You're conflating two different things.

1. Spurs may well have not been willing to match a fee that Feyenoord found acceptable. Without this agreement Spurs would not legally or morally be able to speak to him

2. The meeting between Slot's representatives and Feyenoord being to discuss a contract extension as confirmed by him with direct quotes.

1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive.

The way Spurs are playing now we are soon a championship team, without Kane in the team we would go down, so sell Kane and get Mason. Then I know where we are after nex season
 
My only issue with Potter now would be how much of Brightons growth over those years was down to him and how much was down to their much lauded player recruitment division?
The other side of that is, if we are going down the data and analytics route for finding players he is happy to work with that. He gets on with coaching.
I'd rather Levy sticks to his guns and goes down this route and doesn't rip it up in order to get Poch or Nagelsman, unless they agree to this approach, just to keep the fans happy.
