I think it was also broken to suit the football club and to stay in this division.
It is amazing how Pressley was a hero and needed a longer contract, then he was a baddy, now he is a goody again? He was absolutely shocking, it was pointed out at the time he got his new contract too.
All this crap about this being a big issue for sisu. It's a far bigger issue for Pressley.If he takes the club to court no other club will touch him with a barge pole.
It took several months for Man Utd to pay Moyes after a protracted argument in which the managers association were very critical of the club. I guess no manager ever wants to work there again.
I wanted him gone. He is a poor manager. But he had a contract saying he would get 18 months pay within a week. SISU should pay up. They drew up the contract he signed. It is about they paid up for once instead of dragging our clubs name through the courts yet again.
I would agree in a common employment status but with football it is obviously a very different culture (alot more short term). He could still be employed by CCFC but on Garden leave despite the fact that he is not 'doing the job', there are probably a myriad of different scenarios here which we probably will never know the real 'facts'. This situation it is a case of SISU trying their luck and seeing if he will look to a quick settlement in the end but thats our guess!
I would love to see his contract or a footballers for that to see how they are structured!
and i guess no-one touched Moyes with a bargepole due to him threatening Man Utd ?

He didn't threaten them with court action did he?
Also he isn't a jumped up nobody with no managerial credentials.
A desperate argument even by your own standards.
how do you know that ?. He asked for x amount of money, Man Utd said no, and there was then a protracted arguement ?. If he didn't threaten them with anything, why would they have negotiated ?
* This line is reserved for your insult which comes at the end of everyone of your posts as you cant help yourself
And you can't imagine any situation - any clause - that could be interpreted differently by the two parties?
In the case of SISU you would expect the unexpected to Happen on pay day.... As Higgs and ACL found out ( Higgs hadn't covered every Single eventuality and ACL didn't realise that CCFC Ltd was a redundant property company plus the Story of the missing golden share ). More fool SP.... Watch out Tony Mowbray!
I don't blame Pressley one bit! If your owed money from a contract then you deserve that money, SISU should just pay up and move on! But knowing SISU they will hire out their own courtroom yet again and waste more money on pointless lawyers fees from a scenario that could easily have been avoided
This won't go to court.
We're sisu in charge when strachan was manager?
Pressley wins by default in 8 days time, either sisu give in, sisu convince pressley with a deal, sisu do nothing in which case pressley can apply to wind up the club, or sisu apply to the court, it makes court reasonably likely imo, at lease sisu contrasting it with the court because I don't see why Presley would do a deal before that point when he will win by default without it, if sisu apply to the court then Pressley will at least have some reason to deal, he has none atm.
It's possible sisu are leaving it till the last minute to pay in order to make more money from the interest, seems like a false economy though when they will be needing to convince mowbray to stay in the summer.
Same as every other club that sacks a manager then?
managers issuing statutory demands and coming within a week of being able to apply for a winding up order isn't something that is common in the slightest lets not pretend this is normal, it's not.
Yeah I am sure the article is 100% accurate.
The article has to be completely and utterly wrong for what I said not to be valid. If Pressley has issued a statutory demand he will win by default without sisu applying to the court (or paying up or making pressley agree to drop it) meaning sisu applying to the court is a reasonably likely (perhaps very likely) scenario.
I am sure it isn't -- so we know that this has happened do we?
Lets revisit this in a week shall we -- then I am sure Council Poole and Gilbert will have more headlines to shock and alarm people like you -- and make people like me laugh that people like you believe any tripe that they print.
I'm confident that the telegraph do their due diligence before printing something like that, so yeah we do pretty much know for sure this has happened. This isn't the sort of thing you print without being sure, it's not speculation or rumour, It's an outright statement of fact that Presley's lawyers have taken legal action on the 10th of March.
So does that mean the telegraph have never been wrong?
I don't really follow the sackings of other clubs managers so don't know if its common or not for sacked managers to go down this route. We know there are often disagreements about pay offs, probably happens but there papers don't come out with the sensationalist winding up/liquidation that will never happen.managers issuing statutory demands and coming within a week of being able to apply for a winding up order isn't something that is common in the slightest lets not pretend this is normal, it's not.

Still can't see what the fuss is about. This genuinely does happen all the time in football. He will get his money.
Takes the spotlight off the last two victories though so good news for some on this thread.

Yes it does happen. Not all the time but it does happen. I am like many others if not all of us that have had enough of litigation. They were happy to take the money from Robins leaving. They should pay the money to SP for their stupidity on giving him a 4 year contract. There was already big signs that he was not worth a contract extension. But it looks like they saw pound signs.
So what is wrong with not wanting any more litigation at our club? Not done us any good so far has it.
It's not the club suing SP - it's the other way around. And maybe - just maybe - the club has a good case?
Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
