I don't expect a verdict before April. it has to consider every aspect of contract and employment law. Footballers have such varied contracts, it makes it difficult to judge against another at the higher levels. That's why the case will not go to court until the panel has considered if the right to appeal is still open. The fact is even if Bullard wins the right to appeal, that does not say he will, nor does it imply that Hull City have done anything wrong. It is simply a process that needs to be clarified.
