He's never actually owned the club, it was never his money and the manager selects the players, so no, he never had to okay any deals. His job was to negotiate any deals, field calls from agents and liase between the manager and the owner.
Sorry, yes you're right (subject to mitigation of loss). The limit on damages that I was thinking of was unfair dismissal claims, not wrongful dismissal.
May i ask what first attracted you to the millionaire and huddersfield town fan who claimed to love Hull, Adam Pearson OLM?.
Erm, no one can deny he loves Hull, he's bought the local Rugby team as well as being with us intil recently. Just because he is from Huddersfield doesn't mean he can't like Hull.
