To be honest I would prefer him to go now, but if he stays it would be hilarious to hear the Leicester fans trying to convince us how they actually didn't really want him.

What I'm saying is that if it's a binding contract then both parties need a legally acceptable excuse to break it. If City sacked Pearson he would seek compensation from the club for the remaining time on his contract, so if he resigns can't we sue him for the costs relating to the damaging effect that decision would have on our season?

You'd technically have a case for breach but it wouldn't be worth much and certainly not as much as it would cost to action - Your owners might just feel aggrieved enough to think its worth it to hurt Pearson, but I can imagine if Pearson resigned Top would probably agree to cover his costs - Who knows it could be cheaper than compensation
 
It's a case of pack your bags and piss off Nigel for me.

He wants to go and now his head is turned, there is no way back for him now. If it has fallen through then it is bad news for everyone.

When you hand in your notice at work it's usually a month you have to give because it says that in your contract.
At the same time your contract also says that if they want to lay you off for non-disciplinary reasons they have to give you a months notice.

When a football club sacks a manager there's rarely a notice period/compensation figure agreed on in advance, like when we wanted to sack Brown we had to put him on gardening leave until we agreed a settlement. That would suggest there's no notice period in a manager's contract. It would also make sense that even if there were such a clause it would only be effective during the early part of the summer, but that's a seperate discussion.

In the absence of a defined notice period in his contract NP is tied to us until the end of his contract unless compensation is accepted by the club, or if we sacked him compensation was accepted by him. If he resigned, unless we agreed to let him go he would be in breach of contract if he signed for another club before his contract was due to end.

When Taylor was here he was on a one year rolling contract (every day he woke up with a year left on his contract) with the compensation figures for if another club wanted him or if we wanted to sack him written into the deal. As we're stumbling over the negotiations either NP doesn't have similar clauses or Leicester aren't prepared to pay them and are haggling (I suspect the former is the more likely).
 
This is what happens when you let real businessmen loose in the world of football.
What is the betting on the comp fee being equal to the wages he has drawn since coming to us? Free management, sweet!
You want him, he wants you, pay up! Loving every moment of this.

You know this season is turning out all right, even the pies are better!
 
Glad the Allams\AP are issuing the low blow. Other clubs shouldnt be allowed to poach coaches mid-season.

Either way, NP has to go.
 
the delay is because the proposed contract was written by a kid from a school in Leicester .

So far lawyers have been unable to ascertain the language it is written in - though sources confirm it isnt English :D

If it was written by some of the school kids in Hull I've taught you wouldn't know what language it was whatsoever!
 
If the compensation offered is only £400k, as per the HDF, then the Allams could just decide to see how NP is at gardening.

Bring in a 'Football Management Consultant' to run things for us, and let Leicester either wait or get someone else as manager.

Assem Allam can be quite stubborn when he wants to be.
