Binned off is slang for taking a redundancy package it does not mean sacked. Sorry but you are wrong on this... Letters of intent or pre contractual agreements are not legally binding where there is already a contract in place between the two or more parties. Thats what contract extentions are for! They are legally different things!
I'll leave you to argue to argue with the solicitors that provided the legal advice then. It was a SOP with IBM & I worked with that for many years with no legal challenge.
If you started with a fixed term contract and then they altered it and you ran with a sop and both agreed there is no issue, but if you had wanted to leave you could as you were not obligated by the sop. On the converse side they too could have walked away. Subject to what was a two year and is now a one year period.
Just another argument that you dont understand. Read it again and note the specific circunstances that render the contract unenforceable by either party. Its only an issue if either side wants out. Specifically in this case if we dont go up and ge wants to go, or gid forbid he was to suuffer serious injury. Not the same scenario that wj described.
I understand what WJ is saying, just don't understand your speculation a player can sign a contract, then say he wants out a week later, its up to the club whether he stays or goes
Assuming you didnt mean standard operating procedure i have presumed you are referring to a statement of principles.
I wouldnt have mattered what i had said would it. SOP = Scottish Old Pillock. Gotta go, and seriously I am not going to get out of shape with you again so have it your way. I value your input and friendship too much to carry this on. Nite.
